How's Kayla?

At today's Pac-10 coaches' conference, Tara said that Kayla had missed two days of practice after hitting her head on the floor during Sunday’s win over Fresno State and that team trainer Marcella Shorty was being cautious with the senior forward. Kayla rode the bike and practiced free throws at Wednesday’s practice. She did not participate in contact drills.

“As far as I know, it’s totally precautionary,” Tara said. “I was told that she could have gone back in that game if it was an NCAA game. There’s just so much going on with concussions and any head injuries, it’s just good to err on the conservative side."
