Geno Auriemma: UConn women's basketball pregame (Xavier) - 1/7/24

[@bradlezotte5954]

You guys need to ask about Caroline's status more often

[@stevenmilunovich4191]

She is done

[@vonte16]

@@bradlezotte5954 think its clear she’s around for leadership at this point

[@thomas-gw3xf]

i DON'T THINK SHE WILL PLAY ---- A SERIOUS INJURY IS ONE THING BUT A SERIOUS "AM I GONNA GET HURT AGAIN" IS ANOTHER THING !

[@marioroy6477]

It's too bad Caroline still out as she showed so much promise her first year.

[@billfinn9536]

She has a tricky injury but time heals all wounds, that’s why she’s taking her time. I’m thinking the doctors have probably cleared her already, the rest is up to the individual player. Basketball 🏀

[@carlfredb]

Hoping Paige is back for Seton Hall, my wife got me tickets... my first game live!

[@billfinn9536]

Caroline is such a good player. and can shoot so well outside in particular the corners, hope we see her back this year. Loved this Geno interview he’s direct and honest but tries very hard not to hurt any players feelings. I’m so happy Paige is recovering quickly, we need to rest her more often in games to have her fresh for March. Paige is the kind of player who could take the Summer off not touch a basketball and return to the court ready to play.

You don't get to see the other team's scouting report.

[@tonyleukering8832]

When did the basketball floor become the ground? Those two words have very different meanings.

[@noahcharles7782]

So what I’m hearing is Caroline is def playing for the tournament. He kinda makes it seem that she might retire or graduate after this year though

[@bluekatchrell7683]

Azzi, 🎉🎉🎉

[@RELopez-mk4ic]

Thank goodness she only has a sprain! She is such a great player and a good person. Get well soon Paige!

[@carlfredb]

Dive for the ball, it keeps your legs safe. Just like in football you should never stand around a gang tackle , either join the pile or stay away.

[@kenwillis280]

I don’t understand how he coaches. He stumbles over his words so bad he can’t hardly get it out, yet he is one of the greatest ever!!!

[@sportsandloungeapparel]

Cause he’s cautious with how he words things

[@cbrend22]

He self edits, very careful in this day and age

[@petecollins6343]

Have you looked at his record? Don’t be silly.

[@bbwng54]

@@sportsandloungeapparel You are absolutely right- he chooses his words very carefully so he minimizes putting his own players down.

[@bbwng54]

@@petecollins6343 That's not the point- the question is his articulation/speech.

[@bluekatchrell7683]

Sarah, Best player on the team. Were is the support for p o y.

[@shwnbur77]

I-95 between New Haven and Greenwich lol it’s more stop than go

[@leslieforbes9290]

love his analogy!

[@smccollum777]

Geno puts to much pressure on all the players they are afraid to make a mistake which makes them afraid to shoot. They'll be out of tournament 2nd round.

[@cjd3879]

Meanwhile his asst coach Dailey said post Nova game " what knee injury...she is fine" Now, she is out a week.

[@thomas-gw3xf]

was hoping for 3 games and not rush her - good time for the wanna-Bs to BE - HEY ASH please be more active the "perch" in the corner needs to collect some dust another in-sync game as before and draining every thing - do 1 thing deep breath and then a relaxed shot - eye on the rim and shoot to put ball just clear inside that rim !!!!

[@theuconndaily]

That's what you expect her to say when she hasn't seen anyone yet. CD can also be sarcastic like Geno. This outcome is better than him coming out and saying she's done for the year.

[@chrisd1924]

It's a lower body sprain u dope...aka nothing. Just sore.

[@helgar791]

KK's biggest weakness is her unwillingness to shoot the pull up jumper. Ever. Teams know that when they chase her off the arc she's either going to go in for the lay up or pass. Subsequently she misses many layups or dribbles out. Until then her offensive game will always be limited. Caroline unfortunately will never play again for UConn. I believe that she'll hang it up after this year. If Geno doesn't use this opportunity to play Qadence she'll leave after this year. Especially with Quinones and possibly Makeer coming next year. Certainly when Aubrey returns her chances of getting more PT this year will decrease. Morgan deserves and needs more PT and with Paige out this will give her the opportunity to get it. Something seems to be in Azzi's head because her shooting has been incredibly subpar. In fact, so far this is the worst 3 pt shooting team I've ever seen UConn field. This absolutely cannot be this bad from the arc. For some reason Sarah has stopped rebounding these last 3 games. I believe the USC game got into her head. That will change. Go Husky's.
