UConn women’s basketball: Injury updates on Dangerfield, Makurat; effects of recruiting misses and more

The Thanksgiving break couldn’t have come at a much better time for UConn women’s basketball. The Huskies were down to just seven healthy players in the second half of their last game against Dayton after Crystal Dangerfield sat out due to back spasms while Anna Makurat left the game after rolling her ankle. Luckily, the holiday gave UConn over a week off from games, which allowed the team to get some much-needed rest.

Makurat is practicing more each day and should be a full participant prior to Thursday barring any setbacks. Head coach Geno Auriemma didn’t speak to her availability against Seton Hall, though Makurat is expecting to play.
