UConn has a number of talented options who can take advantage of more playing time, but losing Samuelson for the championship game is a big blow for the team offensively.
Despite being a freshman on a supremely talented UConn team, Katie Lou Samuelson made her way into the Huskies' starting lineup and had become a dependable scoring option by the time the NCAA Tournament started.
Unfortunately, the foot injury which she sustained in Sunday's Final Four matchup with Oregon State means the Huskies will be missing her shooting ability and size in the lineup for Tuesday's national championship.
