what’s the matter Geno looks like your finally losing more then you should😅after 38 seasons it feels good to see the Goalith of women’s basketball finally crumble and crumble and fall!
@@hotpepper5125 hate to be the one to tell you this but they’ve gone to like 15 consecutive final 4s and were in the national championship game just last season and are favorites for the chip next season. they are very much still a goliath of the sport
I agree, We should care about anyone who gets hurt, but people are changing as time goes by, less empathy and concern for all mankind. These girls getting hurt has nothing to do with their coach. She was alright, thank goodness.
Just bad timing. Edwards would never do anything to hurt her teammates. I feel so bad her. She probably thinks she’s cursed. Azzi and Nika are the heart of this team and they will be back soon. Go UConn.
UConn really can’t afford to lose anyone definitely not the heart and soul of the team. She’s been consistently the best player on the court every night I really hope it was just a stinger it’ll probably hurt a ton tomorrow.
Knee to the back of the head, more likely to be a concussion. Stingers usually come from impact on the Brachial Plexus during rugby style shoulder tackles.
Eh. Loved Evina. Wouldn’t say she was durable. She had left knee surgery her transfer year and redshirted because of it. And in last year’s championship game she clearly tweaked something. I always felt like she couldn’t handle playing the forward spot and getting physical in the post because of her knees and she was meant to be a guard. She tried though. But coming off the bench as a two guard was where she shined. Liv and Williams never got hurt because they always faded in tougher physical games. It’s like they were afraid to be there or something. Liv was afraid to be physical in the low post and Williams was afraid to drive to the hoop against tough defenses.
Aaliyah is build like a tank and her sisterhood is suffering innocently for crashing into her!!! It is not Aaliyah's fault but it has happen... Get well Nika!!! Stay sharp and aggressive Aaliyah!!!
Agreed! people are blaming Aaliyah as if she wants to harm her team mates 😂… she’s just aggressive and hustles and we’re just at the wrong spots at the wrong time not her fault.
Yeah she was definitely a bit sleepy and walking wobbly and shaken up. If I’m the coach I don’t play her on Sunday. Her mental health and cognitive ability are more important.
I understand it was an accident, but her own teammate knees her in the back of the head (which could have been serious) puts her hands up, looks at her, and then just trots on down the court and leaves her.... Wow....
@@5150rm so what if the other team runs down the court with no defenders and scores 2-3 points. Who cares? Look after your teammate after you could have concussed her. The majority of these college hoop women are .... let's just say not classy... so that I don't get kicked off of YT....
She can’t stop playing or she’ll get in trouble. She clearly looked at her to check her over for a second and had to keep playing the game until the whistle is blown.
Nika has a concussion so she should probably sit out Sunday’s game. I know that’s not good for the team but I’m more concerned with her long-term cognitive ability. They say there’s no such thing as a minor concussion. She needs rest to get her brain healed from that collision.
There’s tough and then there’s Nika tough. She got up and walked it off. I’m sure they had to follow concussion protocol or she would have (ill advisedly) gone back in.
Aayliah is strong but she’s not built like a tank. It was a very unfortunate collision. The irony is that Aaliyah’s nose injury is courtesy of an errant elbow by Nika in practice. Basketball really is a contact sport.
Nika misses some games every season. It is not a total surprise that she took a knock. I hope she is okay. She definitely had glazed eyes leaving the court.
UConn is really getting broken, this team can’t catch a break. Pretty much if the team is 100% healthy they would no doubt be #1. But they will keep dropping as their best available players get hurt one by one. Maybe one of these years we will see them all healthy and destroying everyone.
She’s a big, she gets pushed around and run into all game so ofc she’s going to be on the floor more than others also she’s not off balance, they’re taught to fall now when they get hit to help absorb impact so they don’t get hurt. It’s not her fault. This was a freak accident and with azzi she was shoved
She got hurt because she flopped trying to draw a foul. When are coaches going to stop coaching their players to fall down and jump in front of players that are running down the floor? It's dangerous and I am sick of seeing it.
Right she flopped(?) which is why her LIP was BLEEDING. Make it make sense. Look up the FULL replay & you’ll see the opponent elbowing her which causes her to fall. But looking at ur comment, you probably won’t bc that won’t fit ur narrative
In my opinion, not Nika’s accident, but the continued injuries to Fudd and Becker are due to over training and not giving their bodies adequate recovery time. Like the Women’s gymnastic teams of the past. Their dedication is admirable but someone needs to see they are not overtraining and giving their bodies adequate rest and recovery! My two cents. I hope Nika is ok!
UConn fans, I mean the Real UConn Fans, the ones that know the game. The ones that know UConn Womens B Ball. Do what you always do and support the women Huskies in the good times and in the bad times. Injuries are going to happen. I don't like it when we lose, but it's part of the game. I like when we win, it's part of the game. I don't like injuries, it's part of the game, and in all sports there are injuries. But for you part time wanna be fans, go away. How do you comment that AE did this on purpose. Who do we blame for coach Chris D. getting faint ? Why don't you try to be a fan and support the Huskies ? Go back and look at the previous years of the UConn women. They had injuries which probably cast them a few National Championships, at least two. If you can't be a true supporter, then do the rest of us a favor, don't comment. Paige, Azzi, Nika, Dorka, are all hearts and souls of the Huskies. Nika plays her game and is good at her game, just as the others are good at their game. We will have a few loses, but that won't stop the women from pouring their hearts out. So Real UConn fans, support your women and stop listening to those people who don't know the real Huskies !
The one that accidently provided the knee is the same player that ran into another players knee in a video I just saw earlier, taking them out for weeks. Not to mention this player is wearing a mask herself. Seems like she is accident prone.
It’s called basketball. Players are running around and moving at full speeds obviously accidents are gonna happen. In regards to the other video do you expect her to have eyes in the back of her head. She got pushed backwards how is she gonna see behind her to know Azzi was right there
A Notre Dame player inadvertently pushed the mask wearer (Aaliyah) into the teammate (Azzi) and in this situation an opposing player inadvertently knocked Nika to the ground and Aaliyah was just pursuing the potential rebound like a good player should. It’s not her fault. These things happen and Aaliyah is bound to be around it when she’s one of the hardest working players that gets a ton of minutes, too. It’s unfortunate that injuries happen, but she is far from accident prone.
They are cursed, No elite team in the country has lost key players in abundance as UConn the past 2 years. One was enough with Paige but Azzi and Nika combined, offset her loss some, and now they lost those 2 and howabout Dorka and Caroline as well as Ice Brady. How many players have So. Carolina, Stanford, and Notre Dame lost, particulary the Miles girl who is for real.
How do you have your bench ready for times like this? How many minutes you allow them to play, when you winning by 30-40? Huh Geno? They are not up to standard...simple!
There’s a difference between walking/ light jog and jumping/ twisting a knee. Most acl recovery they’re starting to run 3 months before they can start to play a game of basketball, it’s all part of the recovery process so that they don’t get re injured like Paige did
Paige tore her ACL in early August. So she’s about four months into recovery/rehab. Personally, I would be concerned if she couldn’t walk at this point. That would be a very bad sign lol. It’s one thing to do day to day normal activities vs. going out and playing competitively in physical basketball games. She’s on the mend but she can’t play at the level that’s needed right now. She’ll get there. As for Azzi it doesn’t seem so bad that she can’t walk or do basic day to day things either she even tried to re-enter the ND game but clearly couldn’t move well. She needs the 3-6 weeks apparently to get back to being herself so it seems. Geno has to play the long game on some of this stuff, what can you do.
Are you really that clueless? Have you ever played a competitive sport like basketball? There is a TREMENDOUS difference between walking or even running in a straight line and the constant stop/start/pivot/change direction needed to play basketball especially at this level of competition. TREMENDOUS. If you are rehabbing a knee injury just one quick stop and turn and you will be headed back to surgery. It's a matter of forces and vectors on the joint, tendons, and cartilage -- the pressure of those forces comes from change in direction, not from going straight.
uconn cannot catch a break. i don’t think i’ve ever seen a team get decimated by injuries in back to back seasons like this
Karma
what’s the matter Geno looks like your finally losing more then you should😅after 38 seasons it feels good to see the Goalith of women’s basketball finally crumble and crumble and fall!

UFC out their she was waiting to knee her 😂
Let’s just hope Nika is okay for her sake.
More than a game, a season, a championship, the health and safety of these girls is paramount.

"consistently, the best player on the court"??? Right then!
Let’s hope it wasn’t a concussion. Putting in the concussion protocol is the right move.
I don't know what going on with uconn and injuries. I hope they get healthy soon.
Just stay clear of Edwards...
They won't!
Aaliyah Edwards has taken out 2 teammate starters in the last 2 games 🤯😩😭
Thats what I was thinking.
too bizarre
i want her off the team
Jesus.
@@SEGAraid I want you off the team
Pretty soon Uconn isn't going to be able to play.
Geno is going to have to suit up soon 😂
😂😂😂😢😢😢😢231 0:45 1314
My heart dropped when I saw this unfold!
A lot of UConn fans were quick to criticize CW, EW, and ONO. But one thing about them, they were all pretty durable. The best ability is availability.
Eh. Loved Evina. Wouldn’t say she was durable. She had left knee surgery her transfer year and redshirted because of it. And in last year’s championship game she clearly tweaked something.

@@spursclaw1795 I don’t disagree 😂.
I feel so horrible for UConn, having the absolute worst luck with injuries the past couple years...

Agreed! people are blaming Aaliyah as if she wants to harm her team mates 😂… she’s just aggressive and hustles and we’re just at the wrong spots at the wrong time not her fault.
It was Nika who busted Aaliyah's nose. Stuff happens.
@@_b2_bomber_749 true it's ok if she hurt her team that's her game 😂
It’s like Anthony “Day to day” Davis shook each UCONN members’ hands the last 2 years and passed whatever it is he has to them.
Friendly fire is always the worst. I hope she’ll be ok. Sheesh my Huskies are piling up on the injuries this year 😩😩😩😩
That's automatic concussion protocol.
I think so
Yeah she was definitely a bit sleepy and walking wobbly and shaken up.
If I’m the coach I don’t play her on Sunday. Her mental health and cognitive ability are more important.
@@shortaybrown I also (thought) I remembered that when you get a concussion you curl up into a fetal position - see numerous NFL quarterback hits
second time this season that a uconn player injured one of their own
And it was Muhl's elbow that broke AE's nose.
And then the ref calls "defensive foul!"
Just saw this video. Usually a good way to get a concussion.
I understand it was an accident, but her own teammate knees her in the back of the head (which could have been serious) puts her hands up, looks at her, and then just trots on down the court and leaves her.... Wow....
Exactly !! Whats up with that, she just left her and said oh well.

It's over for this yr!

Her mouth was bleeding or lip I think
It's over this year UCONN....
Why make this about Bueckers/Fudd?
No one on uconn came to help her. They all just sit their. The girl that kneed her walks away.
Damn Aaliyah you taking everybody out😡
Just notice how off balance she is in games, she hits the floor so many times and you better not be in her way.

Check carefully or review in slow mo as she was hit by the other girl shoulder that is why blood on her mouth
blood in your mouth is flopping? You never played ball and we can tell
Right she flopped(?) which is why her LIP was BLEEDING. Make it make sense. Look up the FULL replay & you’ll see the opponent elbowing her which causes her to fall. But looking at ur comment, you probably won’t bc that won’t fit ur narrative

Not to worry ladies the drug smuggler is on its way she will smuggle drugs to her
This Paige buckers girls is making millions of dollars in sponsorships and instagram ads already
lol people in comments. It's not a "flop" if your lip is bleeding. That means u took a hit. Rough luck for the Uconn this season. 0_o
UConn is nothing without Paige
These dudes can't handle punishment
Wait it’s the same girl who hurt az lol
