FYI - UConn vs Stanford

This game will be followed by #4 Tennessee at #12 UNC. Should be a fun night of basketball.
 
UConn just probably lost Mosqueda-Lewis for the year. Down to roster of 9.
 
UCONN is unbelievable. Might as well engrave the NC trophy now.
 
I think it's her arm not an ACL I think she could miss a few weeks unless it's broken.
 
The Boneyard seems to think it was a dislocated elbow. Someone said that Geno said that she would be OK. Broken elbow? Apparently, she didn't need orthopedic help tonight.

They didn't necessarily start off the game that well, but they picked it up in the second half. However, I don't look at this team and say "Wow, no team can beat them"

And remember - A LOT of people said the same thing about Baylor last year.

UConn certainly showed their depth last night, but if Mosqueda-Lewis is out for the year this team will lose a BIG part of their offense. And if they have any other injuries or struggle with foul trouble - they could have some problems this year because their bench is quality but not very deep.

Certainly hoping for the best for Mosqueda-Lewis. Sherri had a lot of great things to say about her from the summer. Injured arm is her shooting arm and would hate for it be a serious injury. The screams were certainly disturbing and reminiscent of what you hear with ACL's.

Baylor didn't have a great bench. UCONN does. Plus, UCONN has the best coach in the country. I suspect Mosqueda-Lewis will be back within the next 2-4 weeks.
 
Mosqueda-Lewis out indefinitely and Morgan Tuck out for 4-6 weeks after knee surgery leaves them with 7 scholarship players. I just thinks that's a small roster to say they are guaranteed to repeat. We all know how injuries can come out of nowhere. They play Maryland and Penn State this weekend so I guess we will see how affective they can be with the smaller roster. Foul trouble may become an issue for them.

True, but I think they only had 7 or 8 on the roster last year. What happened to Tuck? ESPiN was saying after the game that she would be the player replacing Mosqueda-Lewis.
 
Tuck had surgery to remove loose cartilage from her knee (I think same as Achonwa at Notre Dame). It's a relatively simple procedure, but knees can be just so unreliable.

I believe they graduated 3 seniors last year, 2 of which were major contributors (Kelly Faris and Caroline Doty). I seem to remember that their other senior used to get some playing time when Dolson would get into foul trouble.

Did they ever say what Mosqueda-Lewis's injury was?
 
Nerve contusion to her shooting arm. For one of the best shooters in America - it's something you hate to hear and was definitely difficult to watch. There isn't really a time frame on the recovery for it. They listed anything from weeks, months, or years to fully recover.

*Warning - Video is difficult to watch

That's too bad. Hopefully, she'll recover completely and sooner, rather than later.
