Bad news for UConn fans, maybe not for you

[VA_VOLFAN]

Yes

I found it on the article that it was the same knee. Thanks

I have never known either a Tennessee OR Connecticut fan who wasn't concerned for a player on either team who had suffered a major injury setback.

Frankly, I think it says a lot about you, StorrsCentral, that you would even frame the awful news in the way you did here.

ACL injuries are the most horrible and prevalent injury in women's basketball. I hate to hear this news such a wonderful player love to see her play.

 

[sisaq]

Not good news at all. I wana win them with her playing. I wish her quick recovery.

Only true PG we have is Nika Muhl, although Azzi has played the point. That is not a good Idea, as we need her off the ball. Muhl was told by Geno to work on her offense this summer, so if she has improved on that it could be her. That would mean no back-up. We will see how the chips fall, at least it didn't happen in December. I was really looking forward to seeing Paige and Azzi together healthy. I was really never worried about injuries until last year, and yes, its not just us, but it's happening too often these days.

I feel for UCONN and it’s fan base losing such a talent. Though I am not a UCONN fan, we still do not want to see any player get hurt in any athletic program. I still believe that UCONN is still a final four team with the talent they have, it certainly would be easier with their true superstar healthy and onboard. I wish Paige all the best and a quick recovery.

Nah im taking SC , Stanford , NC State & Us to make the FF. No way They even make the FF last season without the heroics of paige in the elite 8 overtime game and i dont expect anyone else on the roster to be able to replicate that this season without her.

The concerned responses from our members concerning an injury to another team's player is yet another example of why I enjoy most of our board members. The individual who titled the thread, a Connecticutt fan obviously does not, and thus I will only state - not an appropriate title.

 

[GameTime]

Get well Paige....You're a hell of a fine woman.
All of our best to you.....

 

[EricberryFAN]

I don't care where she plays. She's the best woman's player imo. I wished she would have came to UT. Just because she didn't, no one but a pos would wish someone to get hurt over a BB game.

Hopefully this injury bug doesn't ruin her career.

 

[Gilmore]

Sorry to see this happen to anyone. Such a talent and wish her all the best in this journey. I know the UCONN fans are devastated and we can empathize with that. It happens too often.

 

[ttharpe]

Oh, no! Hate this for Paige. Injuries suck. Thought we were gonna see the best version of her on the court this season. Best wishes to her as she recovers and heals.

Agreed, makes their post disingenuous.

[Coach Jumper]

A beautiful song for a beautiful player,,,prayers for you Paige

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Its being reporting that Paige Bueckers has sustained an ACL tear in a pick-up game. Screwed up our season again, still waiting for details. F--K!!!!

Geno pushed her down!

Women have 3 or 4 times as many ACL injuries as men. Ouch!

Sorry to hear that for Paige, a great talent and true baller. I wish nothing but the best and a speedy recovery. Who knows, with today's technology, growing rehabilitation methods, we could see her in the NCAA'S to help her team and reassure WNBA coaches. I truly wish her the best, get well young lady.

No way is she going to come back this year. Anyone who would encourage someone to rush back after two severe injuries in the same knee in less than a year has zero concern for the person!

Don’t think the poster was encouraging her to come back too soon. I took it as just hoping new medical treatments might allow her to come back sooner rather than later.
