Curry left Purdue just as Purdue was about to receive sanctions for both academic and recruiting violations under her watch. Never understood how she escaped punishment.

McKinney is experiencing concussion protocol/concussion-like symptoms. they started the next day after the Kansas game, but not are not severe. I would say less than 30% chance of playing tomorrow, but likely back Monday vs. Samford.

This is a game we really need for our NCAA resume. Bad one for us to miss our top player.
