“If you don’t take risks, you’ll never win big.” Geno Auriemma is known to win by any means. As a coach, he has won the most NCAA division I games in both men’s and women’s sports. With eleven national championships under his belt, no one can doubt that he has taken his fair share of risks to achieve success.
However, there are some risks that even he won’t take. After witnessing a plethora of knee injuries over the last few years, he has his boundaries. A lot of his star players have suffered knee sprains in front of him, and he’s not willing to take any chances with their health.
Auriemma has announced that Aubrey Griffin will be sitting out for the Big East Tournament. She only recently recovered from an ACL tear and apparently was dealing with some soreness. According to the head coach, the team needs her to get ready for the NCAA tournament.
Geno said “the plan” is for Aubrey Griffin to sit out the BIg East Tournament.
He said her knee was “really sore” after Marquette on Saturday and that she could play if needed but the team wants to get her ready for the NCAA Tournament.
“It’s best to give her all this time.”
