Heather Buck was not reevaluated by team doctor Tom Trojian today. According to a team spokesman, she will be reevaluated tomorrow and her status will be revealed Sunday.
Buck has missed the first four games and has not practiced in weeks due to mononucleosis. Should she received a favorable review from Trojian she could be cleared to begin light activity.
How about this stat: Freshmen Caroline Doty and Tiffany Hayes have committed a combined six turnovers in 188 minutes though the first four games. Caroline has committed just two in 103 minutes. Tiffany 4 in 85. Not a bad way to start your college career. No wonder Geno has been so high on both of them since the preseason started.
“They’re good with the ball,’’ Geno said. “They handle it. They know how to get out of trouble. They know when to make the pass, when to make the right pass, which one to make. And they’re not rushed. It’s very hard to rush those two. I think that’s where turnovers come from. When you’re rushed.’’
There are still tickets left for Sunday night’s showdown with No. 4 Oklahoma. Come and get them.
