@Strike ? @patweisers44 ? where'd all the cool cats go? :(

This stuff and the Edex Golf pool are the only redeeming qualities of this place since the FBGheys invasion.  Needless to say dont hang around much.

MSU seems to have some decent individual talent this year. Whether they can be disciplined, avoid a gazillion turnovers, and make free throws will be the keys.  Slow start for sure.

Also @posty I tried to watch the Iowa/ Drake game last night, but I just couldn't do it.   The sporting kc playoff game I just went to also didn't do it for me.

Also will be an emotional tournament for the Jayhawks.   KJ Adam's mom just passed away from cancer.   He made the trip but arrived two days later than everyone else.   I think he's supposed to get in today, not sure about status tonight or the rest of the tournament, but i assume he'll play if he's traveling.   One of the statements made about his mom, was her telling Bill Self to turn her son into an arsehole. I believe Yvonne played at Texas A&M.

Then tomorrow, the winners play in the Championship at 4:00 pm, and the 3rd/ 4th place game will be at 1:30 pm (also Central times)

I totally forgot that game was on...  Looks like it was an incredible game according to the stats...  Both teams shooting over 50% from the floor, Iowa over 60%,  two free throws missed total in 24 attempts...  I guess you just aren't a fan of women's sports...

My father-in-law is a Hawkeye grad, so we've talked about hosting a watch party at the house for a game.  But yeah, overall it's pretty disinteresting to me.

A little, but Purdue knows him well. He's struggled big time against Edey in the past. Hopefully we'll see.

These teams are going to need a nice break after three days in a row against this level of competition.

Well crap. Purdue never plays well against Shaka Smart teams. They can't handle a pressing team, and that's pretty much all Shaka does. Better learn to break a press real quick.

UConn's Azzi Fudd out for season with torn ACL, meniscus

https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/38959357/uconn-azzi-fudd-season-torn-acl-meniscus

UConn guard Azzi Fudd will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season after suffering ACL and medial meniscal tears in her right knee, the team announced Wednesday.

Fudd suffered the noncontact injury last week in practice when, according to coach Geno Auriemma, she went up for a shot and afterward remarked that it felt funny. She missed No. 6 UConn's past two games against Maryland and Minnesota, both wins, watching from the bench.

"We're all just so upset for Azzi," Auriemma said in a statement. "She worked hard to be healthy for this season, and it's unfortunate when you put in a lot of hard work and have a setback like this. Azzi loves the game and works tirelessly. I'm confident she'll rehab with the same work ethic and come back better than ever. We'll obviously miss her presence on the court, but Azzi will continue to be a great teammate and important part of this team this season. Our program will support Azzi through her recovery however we can."

Fudd, a junior, will have surgery at UConn Health at a later date, the school said.

Although she would be age-eligible for the WNBA draft next year, Fudd told ESPN's Rebecca Lobo before she was injured that she planned to return to UConn for the 2024-25 season.

The tears are the latest injury for the No. 1 recruit from the Class of 2021 and former Gatorade National Player of the Year. She missed 11 games as a freshman because of foot issues before being sidelined for all but 15 games her sophomore season because of right knee injuries. Fudd returned in time for the postseason, where the Huskies were upset in the Sweet 16, snapping their streak of 14 consecutive Final Four appearances.

Fudd tore the ACL and MCL in her right knee in April 2019.

She is the second UConn player to tear her ACL over the past 15 months, following Paige Bueckers' August 2022 injury that caused her to miss the 2022-23 season. Redshirt freshman center Jana El Alfy is also out for the season after her Achilles ruptured in July.

Expectations were high internally and externally that Fudd, who has averaged 13.1 points in 42 games in Storrs, would have her most impactful season yet while playing alongside Bueckers. But the pair of highly regarded recruits will have played only 17 games together over three seasons because of injuries.

"We've always handled [injuries] really, really, really well," Auriemma said last week when asked about the potential of Fudd's long-term absence. "We've always been pretty resilient. For us to win 31 games last year, given what we went through, they respond, they don't pout. They really don't.

"So when I said, 'Hey, we're just going to have to figure this one out,' it changes your rotation obviously, it changes maybe the way you want to play. It certainly changes your offense."

Added Bueckers: "Nobody's going to be Azzi, but we can all do stuff that contributes to filling her void and making sure that we're accounting for her and doing all the little things."

UConn has two strong nonconference matchups this week against No. 2 UCLA on Friday and reigning WNIT champion Kansas on Saturday as part of the Cayman Islands Classic.

---------------------

Wow, what a disaster for her...  Hopefully she can come back healthy from this...

The Missouri/ Kansas rivalry goes beyond sport.  At the urinal in johnnys tavern is a picture of a group of the first jayhawkers from 1859, where they talk about rescuing a man who was helping escort slaves into kansas from a jail in my hometown.   The Missouri ruffians burned Lawrence on two different occasions.   As Missouri was the last slave state allowed into the union, and with kansas being the "free state" the hate between the two entities goes well beyond a sports rivalry.   The Yankees and red Sox, Michigan and Ohio state, and unc and Duke don't have any sort of history like that.   So while this rivalry might seem to only matter to people in this part of the country, the reason for the division is much deeper than many other historied rivalries. 

And these are our ancestors.   I can trace back family ties not many generations ago (I think 6) of an ancestor who rode with the James gang and fought in these skirmishes.

 Posty.
