​@@jeromethomas2526 I would be very surprised if Ducharme plays again. Her post-concussion syndrome is severe enough now that it impacts her daily life. She has been dealing with concussions since she was a teen and needs to worry about her future now. My guess is that she will take on a Bueckers-style "bench coach" role for the remainder of her time with the team. As it is, she is often medically prohibited from flying, watching game film, being in bright arenas, etc. (I am so thrilled for her that she's currently well enough to have made it to the Final Four!) Plus, she had ACL and labrum surgeries in high school and hip surgery in college...her perseverance and fortitude are so admirable, but she very much deserves to rest.

i still don't see a center here. uconn won't beat south carolina without one. cordosa is 6'7 and they have 2 6'5 players still on the roster. strong may replace edwards but geno has not had an elite post player for quite a while.

Does anyone disagree that Azzi should start ahead of Ashlyn Shade? Defensively, does anyone think that Azzi is more of a liability compared to Ashlyn?

I think they will keep Azzi Fudd on low minutes due to previous injuries - IMO - 20 to 25 min a game and then build to 30 at most if it goes well.

She chose UConn because she didn't want to compete for time at South Carolina 🙆

Probably right she likely looked at fulwiley averaging just under 20 minutes a game and said no way to SC. Watkins, feagin , Kitts , & Edwards - they really did not need her.

No, he never took a shot at Dawn. SC played rough last year, Dawn never disputed that. Geno’s objections were over the referees allowing that style of play. I wish you would convey this to Gamecock nation. And congratulations.

@mrmojorisin8752 you better look at the post game presser. Geno said that just because a team been in the final four 3 out of the last 4 years and won 2 nattys in the last 7 don't make UConn less favorable... they should still be afraid of Uconn... Coach Staley always gives Coach Geno and UCONN, all other teams the upmost respect...

@@officertdavis How the heck is that disrespectful? Believe me, UC is on Dawn’s radar. We play SC every year and Geno wouldn’t do that unless he greatly respected Dawn and her program. You don’t see him reaching out to Mulkey and LSU. Common sense suggests he’s a little jealous of SC.
