Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, February 22, 2004

Taurasi's injuries have been a problem lately. She has missed some practices and has taken limited minutes in games. UConn has relied on other players -- this hasn't been a problem in their recent games, but they'll need Diana in March. Unclear how healthy she'll be.

Geno says she's even worse than she was last year. "She's pretty banged up right now," he said. "The only way she'll come out is she'll throw two of the worst passes you ever saw in your life and then I have to take her out. She's not going to say, `This hurts.' [Saturday], when she made that face, you knew it was really bad. ... [Her ankle is] not going to get any better until they go back in there and clean it all back out."
