  1. Hunter missed the last game, but after being embarrassed going home to Wisconsin he has been far more aggressive and confident. When Tyrese plays well the whole team looks better. I think he's our best all around player and if he stays assertive our ceiling is much higher.
  2. "With injuries mounting in women’s programs, experts note there are number of factors in play, including the specialization of sports at a younger age, and longer recovery times contributing to those thin benches. Whatever the reasons, the search for solutions is always on. At UConn, just two players have been available for every game. Coaches have burned sage in the locker room, brought holy water to practice and had Native American dancers perform healing rituals." "kids are specializing in one sport earlier and playing that sport year-round. They’re not getting a chance to rest their bodies,” she said. “You’re putting the same amount of mileage on the same body parts, over and over again. So, now you get these kids who are in college, but their bodies are such that it’s almost like they’ve been playing professional ball for 10 years because that’s all they’ve been doing. Auriemma said coaches have already cut back on the length, number and intensity of practices on the advice of medical staff, sometimes to the detriment of play.

But another issue might be Vic's "I'll rest when I'm dead" and saying people make too much of playing an athlete 40 minutes a game. Not saying it's Vic's fault, just that I think women's sports are intensifying, and we may be learning that how we treat female athletes should be different than how we treat men. Load management may be found to be more important in women's sports, due to a difference in body conformation.

  4. Settling in. Wake the secondary up and we'll be fine.
  5. Yes to all this. Still going to be a fun year, just need to dial back the expectations a notch.
  6. Got in too big of a hole at the beginning of the game, just getting our feet back under us after a big hit. Those free throw misses really hurt.
  7. Two important starters out, having to regroup and not doing too bad against a top ten team.

  9. As much as this hurts us, I can't image being her. Prayers for Rori.
  10. I speculated maybe this meant we have a diagnosis, but Rori and the staff are deciding on a course of action. Hoping for the best. If we could just get her back sometime this year.
  11. Buckle up. This could suck. Booker was great tonight wasn't she? Didn't shoot well but 16 points and 9 assists. She's extremely valuable to us right now.
  12. Shaylee looking for her shot more in this game, averages 8 attempts and she has that already in the first half.
  13. We honestly miss our point guard's rebounding, she averages 5.6
  14. We're getting killed on the boards 20 to 11 but just 3 TO with Booker running point.
  15. Still held our opponent under 10 again in the first quarter. Stifling
  16. Jones averaging 16 per game, Harmon 14. Our top 2 scorers out. Still plenty of firepower though.
