@@danwayment6842 I think Caroline is not quite right in the head yet. Her three pointers are a little off, just enough to hit the rim and bounce away. Azzi's just go swish. Both are going to be amazing before the leave UCONN.
if paige comes back and everyone else continues to play at such a high level, then I don’t see a single team being able to beat them, save maybe a completely healthy and ready SC. they will be scary
Aquí en Barranquilla Colombia SA, son las 4 am pero valió la pena madrugar para ver este excelente juego. Cómo siempre mi jugadora favorita Christyn Williams fue la mejor de la cancha...FELICITACIONES UCONN...!! Guillo ....
The tempo was great and after the other game this may have just left them a bit tired. The defensive aggression is a shock to teams which haven't faced anything like that. The early 3pt shooting was so-so, but once the ball possession got better it was a pretty smooth cruise. DeBerry can do something very weird with her fingers. Lots of fun to watch if you aren't a Hoya fan. Oh I almost forgot, they're very happy together as a team. No dancing, but they like to play this way.
I think that Olivia Nelson-Ododa has lost her starting job to Dorka Juhasz. But she still has an important roll to play on the team as the first big off the bench.
@@janetcleaveland8998 I have had a pulled groin myself. There’s not much upside in easing back. I can’t help but notice how much better the offense runs with Juhasz, so I hope it is permanent.
My one concern. As good as this UCONN team is...and when they're on, they're very, very good...with the possible exception of Evina...this team doesn't have the kind of senior leadership that UCONN teams of the past did. Something's missing in that regard. I don't see it in Christyn or Olivia, despite how talented they are. Don't forget, Christyn was National Player of the Year in the entire country when she came out of high school. Leadership is as much dependent upon temperament as it is on maturity.
Luke, sometimes, in my opinion, leadership might come from unlikely sources. Leadership may not, maybe in the case of this team, be synonymous with seniors. Again, in my opinion, the leadership of this team is yet to be determined. I really agree with you that leadership "is as much dependent upon temperament as it is on maturity." (Hope you're doing well, Luke. Be safe, stay healthy.)
@@lastonestanding3417 I completely agree with you LOS. Paige is a an obvious leader for obvious reasons. In their own distinct ways both Ducharme and Azzi are leaders. I love their mindsets. Nika is more of a cheerleader. Just never saw any of that out of Olivia or Christyn. Not even now. Perhaps my expectations of them were unfair.
@@lastonestanding3417 Thank you for your warm words LOS. Rather prophetic. I just went through a month and half of hell dealing with a severe case of Covid. Being able to watch our girls through it was a welcomed respite. Hope your doing well dear friend.
@@luke3501 I don't think you were unfair. We expect seniors would be the natural leaders. The culture and expectation at UConn has always been as you said, and if I'm understanding correctly; at UConn freshman learn and contribute where they can, seniors lead because they've earned the position through time in the system, hard work and performance. This group might be changing that dynamic, so they are working through a lot of stuff besides the injuries. Just my observations.
Watching UConn against Georgetown had to complement again & again given gtheir very aggresive defence. Got it going indeed! Look forward to final 4....
when paige,azzi and caroline finally play together who do you guard? those are 3 complete basketball players. throw in a relentless muhl and i see a championship contender.
OK, I was looking for a way to capture the highest high points of the game & it turns out that when a UConn player steals the ball from a Georgetown player, and then drives the length of the court, and makes a WNBA move to score a lay-up is very sexy. Hats off to Niki, Kristian, & Alyia. However, Sweet Caroline tapped the ball away & drained a three to blow my mind out. Now, it's going to take a steal & a dunk to blow out all my circuit breakers and I think I know who will do it: Alyia Edwards. Imagine the impact of a steal, floor length drive, and dunk would have in a packed house in Stors. That would be enough to get every 13-year-old girl to scream. It might even be enough to get a Gator-Aid contract for Alyia. Imagine that.
I would say the press for sure because South Carolina has been known to turn the ball over quite a bit. The two three zone could also give South Carolina some issues because outside of Zia and Henderson they don't really have players who can hit those outside shots with much consistency.
Time to grant playing time based on fewest turnovers/minute played. There are a couple players that still play lazy and make too many unforced errors, passing the ball to nonexistent teammates, traveling, missed layups, failing to go after the ball when it’s passed to you, dribbling into double- and triple-teams, traveling ( yes again ), etc.. Just way too many low-BB-IQ plays being made by just a couple players. Everyone can contribute positively, it’s a talented team, but lazy play leading to silly give-aways will end the season prematurely. It’s a triple negative, 1) you lose a chance to score, 2) you give your opponent an unearned opportunity to score, and 3) it’s demoralizing to the team. Points are hard to come by, so you can’t afford to give them away so easily, especially against real good teams. Time to start minimizing the negatives by limiting some playing time because there is so much good available from so many players now. Some tough decisions will have to be made.
glad to see evina out of her slump she’s such a key player to this team especially without paige playing
What a game! I am loving the way Azzi and Christyn are playing lately. And those Muhl and Ducharme steals?! 🔥
caroline ducharme didn’t score much today but made up in her passes and steals 🔥🔥 such a core player
Caroline is an assassin. Love the way she plays. Has a complete game just as Fudd and Paige have. Going to be awesome together.
Fudd's scoring was all late in the game again. Ducharme played half the minutes.

They can beat south Carolina too
I wish Williams wasnt so inconsistent, because when she is on, she has one of the best moves to the basket in the country.
Really don’t think Dorka got away with a walk at 24:30. Perfectly clean catch and dribble
It was Caroline Ducharme that walked
Thank you MJL, your awesome! (as everyone already knows)! Keep up the good work.
But for you MJL243, I would not have been able to see most UCONN games. Thank you so much.
Thank you MJL423, I really appreciate you 👍🏼
MJL does it again! :) Thank you!

They are finally playing well together as a team again! Glad to see the bench coming in and contributing. It's looking good or the Huskies atm
Much appreciated. Thanks MJL243.

Thank you everytime! You're so awesome
All I want is a game with a single digit turnover number.
As always... Thank you, MJL243!
Thank you MJL423. You're awesome.
CALL THE GAME!!! FORGET YOUR STORIES........
Nice blowout but too many turnovers...clean it up young ladies. Make Geno proud!
I think that Olivia Nelson-Ododa has lost her starting job to Dorka Juhasz. But she still has an important roll to play on the team as the first big off the bench.
I just think Olivia is being allowed to come back slowly. It's all too easy to reinjure a groin muscle.
@@janetcleaveland8998 I have had a pulled groin myself. There’s not much upside in easing back. I can’t help but notice how much better the offense runs with Juhasz, so I hope it is permanent.
Perhaps, but my read is that the coach was giving her more time to recover from her groin injury
A great big thank you MJL from-an-appreciative and grateful fan.

I didn't see who scored the first points of the game other than that shades of brilliance.
It’s like they talk about everything but the live game in front of them
Azzi fudd I want you here in Chicago I would be so happy
Thanks!!!
Watching UConn against Georgetown had to complement again & again given gtheir very aggresive defence. Got it going indeed! Look forward to final 4....
when paige,azzi and caroline finally play together who do you guard? those are 3 complete basketball players. throw in a relentless muhl and i see a championship contender.
EXPLAIN "one minute":- 46:40 to 47:40!
Nice one UConn ladies...👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
The female commentator is soooo annoying, I have to mute it while watch ...
Are you going to post Marquette game?
NIKA MÜHL ALWAYS !!!
I didn’t realize Azzi Fudd wears the same number 35 as her mom, Katie wore in college.
MJL243👍👍👍👍😊 Thank You!

What elements of the way Geno has the team playing are geared toward getting ready for South Carolina?
- The press?
- The 2-3 zone?
Thoughts?
I would say the press for sure because South Carolina has been known to turn the ball over quite a bit. The two three zone could also give South Carolina some issues because outside of Zia and Henderson they don't really have players who can hit those outside shots with much consistency.
@@alexroberson4454 I was thinking that if the press didn't turn SC over, it would give SC less time on the shot clock to get the ball into Boston.
@@gregb1237 also true.
47:04 best sequence of events
