Has there been any news about the extent of Keyen Green's injury she suffered Sunday in the game?

No probably won't get anything on that until the media interview on Wednesday. She was walking on it with an ice bag after the game still that doesn't tell you much as to the extent of how long she will be out or if at all.

Welcome ! No news is the way things seem to work with injuries. We generally wait to see who is dressed out in uniform pregame. That’s generally as good as it gets unless it is a season ending event. So at this point, no news is good news.

Torn ACL! I feel so bad for her!

Oh man that sucks...she has been playing really well. That must be very frustrating to have this happen two years in a row. Hope she recovers quickly.

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

This is horrible

Terrible news. Get well Keyen.

Striplin, Puckett, Emily?
…out of the pan, into the fire , yo!

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

We can never have anything good.

Man this is a bummer. Was hoping she would be able to go. Got another coach on the bench. I believe with Sarah, Karoline and Emily we can backup TK reasonably well. They’re gonna have to hit another gear though.

Hopefully Keyen will be there in practice encouraging them. Keyen was giving us about 15 mpg but her production was great. If those three can give us 15 combined and play solid defense we will be OK.

Feel bad for Keyen Green. Time for Karoline Striplin to step up and show what she can do.

So sad. This lady works so hard.. my prayers.

Gonna have to be Striplin IMO. Not sure Saunders is up to the task.

Is TN not paying Kellie enough to to get an oil change and tire rotation?

This changes things for us for sure going forward. Not looking as bright.

Noooooooooo!!!!! I hate this so much for her! She was playing so well this season.

Will need to be both i don`t think you can just throw Striplin into the fire and now say put it out ? I don`t think so, That will be asking a lot from someone who has played very little this season.

I believe we have to accept the truth that serious injuries are quite common in WCBB and no one is exempt. Some Lady Vol has to step up for Green like Ducharme has for Bueckers at UConn.

That goes even doubly so for Saunders. She's played even less than Karoline.

This really just means that Tamari will have to play more minutes and has to be more mindful about early foul trouble...because at least Green was able to hold her own even against opposing starting posts. Maybe not the defensive presence of Key, but she was still a strong presence down low and she is mobile....which isn't my impression of Striplin or Saunders from what I've seen. Striplin looks strong as hell, but she needs to be lighter on her feet. Saunders...I don't know.

 

[zaqhhh]

Well we play Auburn next, Striplin or Saunders better find confidence there because we won't have many more gimmes on the schedule in February and beyond.

Saunders should be playing at a small college.
