It looks like Brittany Hunter is going to try and play on an injured knee. Earlier during camp, her availability for this season seemed in doubt. She started off well, but her condition deteriorated and word around campus was that Hyunter was going to have another surgery. If hunter had decided to go under the knife, she would likely not see the court again until 2007.

Today, the team's trainer issued a statement saying that Hunter will be listed as day-to-day for the rest of her career. Coach Geno Auriemma said Hunter has practiced the last few days and she will sit out tomorrow's exhibition game. The hope is Hunter ready to play in the season opener Monday against Richmond.

Ideally, Auriemma would have started Hunter at center this season, but now that plan has been blown to pieces. Tina Charles will have to play more minutes than Geno would care for her to play.
