Made those free throws.🏀🏀🏀
7:04 to 7:06 tell the entire story! LOL...PAIGE and NIKKA drive this man crazy! #GET12
Geno Auriemma is the coach of the year, without a doubt .
6 players with between 8 and 14 points. Very balanced. Who does the opposing team focus on? Stanford worked very hard to keep Paige and Azzi in check and did a pretty good job of it, but that’s where the depth of this team shines. 😀
If this team could make their layups, they might be able to win more comfortably. 😵💫
Don’t overlook Geno’s game management, quickly assessing who has it and who doesn’t in any given game and allocating playing time accordingly. Knowing that the margin between winning and losing when playing such tough opponents at this time of the year, he understands how to get the most out of his team and it often looks very different from game to game.
Paige was doubled up every screen and every time she penetrated, the others have to hit shots. Azzi doesn’t get doubled, so she needs to be more aggressive. Paige was 7/13, and 2 were last second heaves, so really 7/11 (63%) in the flow of the offense. Williams/ Westbrook/Fudd were 8/30( 27%). That won’t beat SC, they’ve got to hit shots, with Paige out there they are all getting open looks. I’d love to see both Cristyn and Azzi out it on the floor, it forces the D to react and goos things happen.
I believe Coach did his part managing the team/game with correct time to call Time Outs and place his Wisdom on the team when it was needed!!! Usually it does not take all of the Time Outs for Huskies to win... but the last 2 games he has been the Coach he is and steered the team and game in the correct direction to win!!! TY Coach!!!! GO LADY HUSKIES!!!
Wow, they beat a great Stanford team. Good luck in the final.
Actually, Stanford was the third best team in almost all of the seed analytics that the committee evaluated, but they gerrymandered the s-curve by flip-flopping NC State and Stanford and bumping UCONN down to 6 overall to give UCONN their regional final in Bridgeport. They also had to prop up Louisville (a team that didn't even make it to the ACC Championship game) by giving them a #1 seed. Otherwise, UCONN would have been playing in Wichita last week. Instead, they seed UCONN at 6 overall, NC State at 3 overall, thus giving the Huskies the defacto home game in Bridgeport as a #2 seed. Then, they come out on television after the brackets are announced and say (with a straight face), "There was no deliberate intent to get UCONN into Bridgeport, but that's just the way it worked out. NC State was 3 overall, so we had to pair the 6 overall seed with them, and it just happened to be UCONN."
@@lvpack5022 😭😭😭
Shoulda, coulda, woulda....yawn
@@jeromedanielson4422 The voice of entitlement!
@LV Pack. The voice of envy.
Congratulation Ucom Westbrook is the truth she is an outstanding leader to an outstanding team
Momma E! She's the leader of this team. She's not the scoring leader but she takes care of all the players with love and this team has built the closest bond on and off the court. She's brought to the team what she didn't get at Tennessee.
Facts but I'm a big fan of her abilities and talents also I think she'll be very impactful tomorrow night in my opinion she has the mindset of a professional looking forward to the matchup tomorrow night their team will be firing on all cylinders I'm sure! It's going to be an exciting game both teams are great good luck UConn God's blessings 🙏
I love my girls. They and coach are truly amazing.
The guy trully is an absolute icon. ;-)
Westbrook Paige Buckets azzi fudd I feel are going to pop off in the championship and win it all coach Geno is one of the best to ever do it and he has them ready just can't get sloppy or SC will definitely make you pay the price I can't wait to watch this game usually not big on women bball but Paige Buckets since high school has had me locked in she's a different breed ND baller
ditto
Paige flows like water, but this game was a team win. Well done.
I am happy just to listen to NIKA, her role is essential for the team. It's a pleasure to see her grow in the game and how her hard work is paying off !
Nika is the x factor on this squad
Unselfish reliable and ready to sacrifice her body for the sake of the team.Where would be without her resilience?
“UCONN WANTS ALL THE SMOKE “‼️‼️‼️💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️
Just a huge congratulations to the Lady Huskies!
The BEST OF LUCK as you
continue on your way to a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!
Just watched Geno's 4-2-22 National Championship press conference. It was entertaining...watch it. Coach Auriemma is a gift to women's basketball. Talk about a formidable combination of knowledge, experience, wisdom, earnestness & personality. With the passage of time the envious lilliputian chorus sound increasingly ridiculous and petty. Let's be honest, with his record of accomplishment, if he were female we'd probably have a national holiday in his honor, maybe canonization, postage stamps & coins, home a national shrine, ect. Exaggerating.....slightly.
“UCONN DEFENSE “ CRAY” CRAY” 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Now why can’t Tara be that gracious…Come on Tara!!!! I’m a Stanford fan but I love Geno’s interviews….Great job UCONN can’t wait to watch the game tonight, this will be exciting!
He definitely knows Taurasi and Bird! 🤣🤣🤣
greatest coach ever
Spot on about the seniors.. those 3, but Williams and Liv, have to be impactful the entire game Sunday!
Christyn, and Evina have to relax and just have fun. Dont force things, they will come naturally. ONO has to play smart and stop that silly reaching. Aaliyah has to be smart and set her screens quickly. Paige. Azzi, and Nika cannot carry the team by themselves, but they need to enjoy each other, continue to trust in each other. Caroline, you are a big part of why UConn is here, but you are rushing everthing instead of playing your calm game. REMEMBER ladies-- ( THIS IS WHY YOU CAME TO UCONN ) This is your book, so write your story. Lets go Huskies !
@@roberthernandez839 - Agreed. I want to see them play to their potential, and leave with a championship!
"Losses Piling up" LOL
Great game but tough to watch - I'm a LONG time husky fan (always stand to watch the entire game- can't sit :) ....Anyway the bigs needs to stay out of foul trouble and limit the mistakes against SC. Christyn needs to get her game going along with Azzi early. Paige is going to be Paige. Liv could help a LOT of she can score inside which will open the outside for the guards. Great game by Evina which will need to continue. Was surprised they out rebounded Stanford.. Nika Muhl had 8 RB ?? wow. .Will need that for sure ALONG WITH THE TOUGH DEFENSE. Go huskies.....One more time !!!!
Our bigs are not going to stop their bigs, but just contest their shots, rebound and play good defense, and all will be well, Lets go Huskies !
@@roberthernandez839 yep, they are not stopping Boston, but they need to find a way to limit her effectiveness without getting into foul trouble, and without allowing open shots by SC guards.
Geno wasn’t kidding when he mentioned if they could stop beating themselves up down the stretch, it wouldn’t be so hard! I don’t remember another UCONN team having this much luck, in the post season. The unforced errors they made at the end are mind boggling! However, to give each player credit, they corrected their mistakes with great defense, rebounds and incredible foul shooting ! (Thank God) This was a great sloppy win! Go Huskies!
You're "lucky" comment is laughable. This season has been anything but Lucky, overcoming mistakes in crucial times shows great resolve. In spite of all that transpired they are where they were supposed to be. Whether they beat SC who has been the best team all year needs to be seen. The loss of Djorka is especially impactful against all the size of that SC has. We'll see what happens.
@@anthonyyusef5897 I was referring to the game last night with Stanford. The unforced errors in the last 3 minutes could have cost them the game. Thankfully Stanford had an off night. Great resolve maybe. They have all the talent and chance to win tonight. IF they don’t hurt themselves later. Go Huskies!
Geno and the players hear these same questions over and over again, but it seems like they really try to give sincere answers. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Auriemma utter a coach cliche
That's why I don't mind bellichek with pats, he doesn't want to deal with the dumbest questions on the planet
🐐
My impression in the early part of the season was that Liv was getting pushed around. No more. She has developed into a very good post player.
Not really, her and Williams have been disappointing recruits for their lack of progression over 4 years
That's a bit of spoiled outlook:
It's unfair to expect every UCONN recruit to become Tina Charles or Maya Moore.
Uconn has been blessed to have MANY hall of fame level players year after year: Swinn, taurasi, Sue, Tina, Breanna, Maya etc.
But even Coach Geno had "Dry spells" such as when Candace Parker was at UT- the Huskies didn't win a championship at all during Candace's college career.
So Olivia and Christyn have does well - especially leading this year and growing into more responsible leaders -
Liv has handled her assignments against Cunane and Brink pretty well.... now Boston is next. Liv & this team can do it. These are all young women - we are not talking about Wilt Chamberlain or grown men here.
Liv & Co. can raise her game and take Boston etc tomorrow.
@@MrLarryLessor yawn, Williams looked like taliek brown shooting which isn't a complement, but taliek got a ring with uconn his senior year because he finally learned to pass the ball to his stacked team
Championships are not something fans should feel entitled to. I grew up in Chicago where the Bulls won 6 in 8 years so I know plenty about high expectations. You need to see reality and realize what coach geno said: These ladies are students first and they are learning to be better people. If they become champion players then good hopefully that makes them better people. But growth & learning as a person in life - more so than athletic performance - comes first. That’s why coach geno has done so well for a long time as a coach. He never sold his soul to make the most Salary or have the most titles. Listen to his comments last night: he said liv and Christyn were really important once he put them Back into the game.
@@MrLarryLessor you clearly have a reading comprehension problem, this has nothing to do with championships but individual progression
If Rutgers is watching. Find a good young coach and give that person a chance. Time to move forward not backwards.
I’m certain the Rutgers AD is reading these comments
Granted the lady Gamecocks are the ultimate monster team. The most powerful heavily favored team the Huskies ever faced in a dozen finals. Beating Dawn Staley's squad will take more than a monumental effort even if Dorka was not injured. Yet with nothing to lose and without the pressures of being heavily favored will that looseness be the impetus of winning a one shot game? Eerily this next game brings back memories of when the men's team beat heavily favored Duke for their initial title. Is there a deja Vu oncoming for this diehard gutsy overachieving squad that Geno patched together into believing the prize is there for the taking if you want it the most. South Carolina should win easily on paper yet I think they will underestimate the fight in these scrappy Huskies. Go UConn!
Obviously the game is not won on paper, and the men didn't have a coach that did it 11 times. Nothing to lose sounds like they are just happy to be in the finals and that is BS.
They know of the uniform they wear. They know if they execute the game plan and make adjustments, good things will happen. In Geno and Team we trust.
South Carolina is not a monster team, they couldn't win the SEC conf. championship, monster teams win their conf.
@@jeromedanielson4422 they won their conference. They are a monster defense. They can shut down Uconn entire team besides Paige. They can lose too. It's going to be a good one.
@@jeromedanielson4422 don’t let the SEC championship game fool you smh. We wouldn’t have made it this far if we wasn’t elite. Give credit where it’s due
@@KelzKelz Agreed, honestly I'd be surprised if UConn won. True S.C. won the regular-season title, but you only get a trophy for the conference championship.
I'm not a woman's basketball fan. I've tried, Lord knows I have given it my honest best, and it's just not for me. That said,anyone that could get to 14 straight final fours is the best that humanity has to offer. No complacency
South Carolina is gonna crush UConn on Sunday night.
You mean like they did in their earlier meeting?
What's that? Think you may have to give your crystal ball a cleaning.
Whatever the outcome, it has been a fabulous
tournament!!
On paper looks that way. But remember how favored Duke men were to the UConn men back in '99??
