Hannah Hidalgo has the Caitlin Clark aura. Even if she isn't the best college player now, she is definitely the most exciting player on both sides of the court.
Be honest. This was a one sided game, controlled by ND from start to finish. They were faster, more energetic and had far better ball security than UCONN. They shot “ the lights out from the arc, and practically shut out UCONN from distance. They looked better coached and had better athletes
When Olivia Miles did that (Julius Erving) finger roll in the 4th twice the game was over, all initial by the energy bunny Hannah Hidalgo (batteries were included) the whole game,.
I'm shocked Notre Dame was this game seeing how Uconn's front-court is definitely tougher. The dynamic duo of Hannah Hidalgo and Olivia Miles sure are an incredible 1-2 punch.
It's Hannah over JuJu. JuJu only really affects the game with superior scoring. Hannah scores just as well almost, but also is a fierce defender...and she rebound like an absolute dog at 5'6.
Except Hannah doesn’t get doubled teamed and face guarded by other teams best defenders… like JuJu, Paige and other players put up these numbers having the ENTIRE scouting report consist of ways to stop them from scoring😭😭 meanwhile the gameplan against Hannah is to simply force her right. Do we see the difference here?
So far you are correct!! march is a long way away though!! :) Best Player I got .. Paige Juju Hannha….. now that only because Paige is 24 and the other two are Barley 19… lol
Not surprised at all. For several years Irish has put AllStar wnba talent in the league. UCONN had its time and they just were beaten by a better team tonight.
Hidalgo is a sensational player! She's the most exciting player in women's college basketball! She's so quick and shifty, that she's impossible to guard one on one. She balled out tonight to help Notre Dame get the dub over UConn.
Sports media pushed Paige as the best in 2020, but Caitlin became a fan favorite. The same media pushed Juju as the best in 2023 class, but Hannah Hidalgo is becoming a fan favorite. You can't force it you just have to have IT.
Good game. NOTRE DAME's top 3 came to play vs. PB, of course ND wins. Geno are you concentrating your coaching on 1 player to make her as good as CC. Just coach your team. It's not too late.
Probably because UConn fans are more critical of their own team than those of other teams. Notre Dame highlighted how the flaws that many of us had seen in the games we won are a problem to solve. Notre Dame played a splendid game and the 56% 3pts against UConn's 17% proves it. Why did UConn shoot so poorly? Unlike UConn, ND's defense allowed very few shots without pressure. To score 25 points, Bueckers had to work a lot and look for them in the painting, ND instead released his shooters much more effectively and for this credit goes to the coach
UConn has no size and bad permieter defense. ND guards were open for 3s all night long. They're going to struggle against the top teams. Everybody in the building knew Hildalgo was going to shoot at times and somehow UConn left her wide open on a bunch of occasions. Paige scored efficiently but never felt like she was taking over the game to get them completely back in it. I feel like that's a common theme with Paige in big games.
WAY TO GO IRISH!! ☘️☘️☘️ Irish 3 in a row over UConn! 3 top 5 Ws already! ND Controlled this game from start to finish. Even Geno knew he wasn't winning this one. If the Irish would have finished and used the backboard more on close in shots and after rebound, ND would have won by 20+ easy.
Paige and Sarah got game but collectively UConn will struggle with more athletic teams. Geno coaches them well on skills, but he no longer gets all the horses. The landscape is more vast. Both USCs will beat them, if they saw Texas or LSU it wouldn't go well either.
I watched the entire game from a previous video. Paige Bueckers had 25 points, but when she had the ball, her teammates just stood around 80%-90% of the time, obviously waiting for her to do something spectacular every time. I watched two Indiana Fever games, and the pros constantly move without the ball. The UConn coach needs to raise his game.
I enjoy watching Hidalgo little bitty self killing it, instead of JuJu. I think the would of JuJu, she's the female Kobe. But man Hannah is unstoppable!
@ bruh I said what I said. Her moves are same as Kobe, drop step, two dribble pull up. I don’t think you would know those moves, to know that. Juju from LA family big Kobe fans. The Female Kobe like I said 😤
@@anthonytaylor7928 look here bruh, I said what I said. Her family who’s from Watts, grew up big Kobe fans. Her movements, two dribble pull-up, drop step pull up. Need I say more, she’s the camel Kobe 😤
USC has beat them 5 out of their last 6 meetings or since 2020 and with 4 straight. Their only win was in an overtime game. Dawn has passed up Geno too.
She was fouled on every shot and mugged most of the rest of the time with zero calls. Citron should be arrested for wearing Paige's uniform with Paige still in it. That said, Hannah is the real deal. With Azzi there it would have provided protection for Bueckers, but with Azzi, it was hold on to Bueckers. Maybe in April when they play again, Azzi with be ,and Jana will be playing center.
When you lose, it always feels like the refs and the announcers are out to get you. They're just calling the game in front of them. It's not their job to make up for your bad game.
UConn was just a little off tonight. Give Notre Dame their props though. Paige and co. will be back in full beast mode 4 rest of season. Watch. It's gonna be legend. I feel it.
The only player from Iowa folks heard and read about was CC, she carried that team. Both Buecker and Hidalgo had good games but until these college players break CC’s records, they not in the conversation.
I think you saw another game. A player who wants to avoid risks doesn't go looking for points in the traffic of the painting, she plays on the perimeter
Well.. if I follow that logic. I’d compare Juju against my middle school daughter she 14 year young.. :(. .. just based off time and life experiences and competition played against.. .. if I have five more years to learn how to shoot a basketball Odds are I’ll probable be better If we bouth spent X amount time
Genno outcoached in all phases tonite. In particular, uConn defense and rebounding were pathetic. ND totally deserved to win and these girls can really shoot ! They should be ranked #3 , right behind UCLA and SC. uConn is closer to 10 than 5 in the rankings IMHO.
At least Paihe did her job, It just 3pt is not their option now. Strong played with 3 fouls the reason why her ability to rebound is not their. I understand now why they lost the game. Hidalgo is so hot outside wow. . .
Hannah is unstoppable in big games. Love her competitive 🔥
Big-time competitor! Love her passion. Impossible to handle one on one.

Hannah was the best player on that court tonight! Crushed it!
Citron is an elite defender made things difficult for Juju and now Paige. Shoutout Sonia!

She's DYNOMITE (as Jimmy Walker used to say).
She is better than JuJu
Yeah, I’m an Iowa grad and fan but Hidalgo is super fun to watch!
Hannah Hidalgo is more like Caitlin Clark than Juju Watkins. That's just my opinion.
Aw dam stop Clark can't even use her left hand she dam sure is not the defender hildago is stop with the dumb comparisons
Hannah Hidalgo's amazing. And that Notre Dame center is huge.
Great game. Paige is so good but I really like how Notre Dame has come together as a team with Hildalgo and Miles leading the way.
You kinda saw this coming. UCONN hasn't faced strong competition until ND
Hannah best player in college hands down & she doing it with other elite talent not just a one player show 💯💯💯
Second time Hannah has outplayed Paige in a head to head. I know who I’m taking.
Aye man, you said this win would happen, you were right.
Paige is too passive
it’s so funny how yall just don’t give additional context to anything lmao

They glaze Hannah too

This was a good game. ND was in the zone all game, it got good and close in the 3rd. UConn has to tighten up

It's Hannah over JuJu. JuJu only really affects the game with superior scoring. Hannah scores just as well almost, but also is a fierce defender...and she rebound like an absolute dog at 5'6.
She is probably going to deserve Player of the Year, but the media will only promote two names-the same two she outperformed in their team matchups.

Notre Dame, ain't playing around they, 3-0, against, AP Top Five teams this season. Hannah Hidalgo, went off in this Game, she had 29 Points....🏀
UCon does't run screens or picks. The coach needs to get his act together instead of complain about Paige going one on one.
Hidalgo is a human highlight reel
Hannah Hidalgo 🔥
Awesome win by Notre Dame. The UConn cult was beaten!

Stop they have plenty of height they just have an issue with quick guards
Hannah Hidalgo is an absolute problem. She's so quick and shifty that she's impossible to guard one on one. She can get into the lane at will.
Notre Dame devoured!!
Since March 2011, Notre Dame has 12 Ws, UConn has 11 Ws in this rivalry. Booyaaa!!!
Notre Dame has beat them three straight
Paige just don’t got the dawg in her to take over a game

Let's see how the Notre Dame dominates when they enter at the UConn basketball court
Uconn has got to be more physical and assertive at both ends of the floor if they want to compete for the ncaa championship
Hildalgo owns Uconn
The Irish are the only school with double digit Ws over UConn.
USC has beat them 5 out of their last 6 meetings or since 2020 and with 4 straight. Their only win was in an overtime game. Dawn has passed up Geno too.
Can't Front On Miles...

like are they for real cuz the whole team only got 1 call???

In this game certainly. ND's ball movement consistently provided open shots for Hidalgo, something UConn was unable to do with Bueckers (or others).
