Mel said she wanted to play, so we gave it a shot. We'll see what happens today. I don't want to throw her out there and do anything and then have to re-fix it for the NCAA Tournament. I'd rather the thing get healed, because we have a long stretch after Tuesday.
More Quotes from Geno Auriemma:
Any time you go on the road, you appreciate more what we have back in Connecticut. You think about playing in an NCAA Tournament, at this level, there should be a lot more energy in the crowd. That's not the case. You have to bring your own energy. But you have to be mature enough and handle it right. But it is kind of disappointing. It makes it harder.Geno Auriemma

It's a great barometer for not only what is happening with our team at the moment but what could happen, what might happen down the road. There are times we have played them at our place and played unbelievably well and beat them easily and I thought, 'You know what I think this team can win the national championship.' There's times when we've played them at their place and got our heads handed to us and I left there thinking, 'You know what I'm not sure we're a national championship-type team.

I know she wants to play, and as long as the game is being decided, she wants to be out there. She is a senior and I feel like I owe it to her. At the same time, I don't want to do anything to jeopardize what is coming down the road either.
