Another thing that has gone unnoticed all year. Thus far, this is one of the worse 3 pt shooting UConn teams in decades. They were shooting 34% before ND and the 3 for 16 dropped that even more. UConn is usually high 30's close to 40% as a team.
I don’t know what we are looking for in this game. Georgetown has had kind of a disappointing start to the season. And they are overmatched here. I want to see what Geno does with Jana in this game. I am thinking we really want to start increasing her minutes. And maybe she will be starting by the end of the year.
Anytime Azzi is out, Chen is the third best player on the team. She has done a remarkable job to date. Conference (" Fool's Gold ") Play, the team will appear to look better while picking up the wins. Hopefully, the team will continue to mesh. Georgetown has a history of physicality. The Huskies need to be pushed around this will help come March...
I don't usually criticize Geno and the coaching staff, but they are not making adjustments or the players are incapable of making adjustments. Currently, UCONN is too guard-centric and it's about moving the ball and finding an open shooter. When your outside shots are not going in, then your post players need to step up. Ice and Jana have to make their shots in the paint, however, both of these two players are invisible on the offense. Working inside the paint will take pressure off PB and SS until AF returns.
I hope he doesn't leave Sarah in too long, especially if they are 30 points ahead. They need to go out there and kick butt! This is a good one to practice on.
KK is a Nika clone - meant to come off the bench bringing a boat load of energy and positivity - a good valuable Husky. That is who she is not to be confused with a Moriah, Bria , Jen or Renee as UConn’s next starting point guard - that is unfair. Paige was never comfortable with the mantle of leader which is why even more than Azzi the one player they desperately need back to fill that leadership role is Aubrey.
Jana is a beast she not good she's great, she needs to play the same way she played in the Olympics. She going have to the midrange and the three to give her an option to drive.
She needs to show it b/c Brady isn't showing anything more than last year, which was lackluster. Jana could cement a starting position if she actually played to her supposed potential you claim.
ND fans literally trolled this UConn team with profanity and slurs as they were getting on their bus after the game. It was awful. I'm hoping that these kids have a short memory and will be able to come back strong and work on the things that will lead to success in March. Stay classy, ND fandom. Stay classy. Paige will remember this. See you in March. I don't expect to see Azzi for a while. That 'sprain' occurred with no contact. I think the injury is worse than what we are being told. Peace!
And you base your assessment of Azzi’s injury on what? Don’t panic the UConn fans. Azzi’s injury is nothing, and that assessment comes from the inside.
Hey Phil and Ry, since no one will say it I will. KK and Chen needs to work on their 3 point shot to be respected enough to open the lanes. We didn’t respect ND and they hit open shots because of it. When we decided to respect it hadalgo and miles attacked. They beat us at our own game. This was an issue last year and still is.
The most significant thing you said is that “ AZZI will not play again.” That means her injury is more serious than most of us suspected. We cannot count on her going forward. She may miss a month.
I am pretty baffled that there isn’t more of a commitment to play Morgan Cheli yet. She has been very sturdy every time I have seen her. But Geno really never gives her meaningful minutes. She would start for all but about 25 programs imo. Give her a chance gramps.
I agree with some responses about Azzi it would have at least made it a one possession game, in a case like this not having Azzi in a tough environment you either have to move Morgan or Paige to the five to have looks for players to get open shots ,no worries on Morgan for if you watch old film on Maddy from Villanova you are getting the same player.
You comment on Chen, if she was giving the green light to take over she would but UCONN have her at the point as for Arnold in games in that environment she should start.
I am not a basketball expert and this is not a criticism. I have had the privilege of watching Paige since I happened on to her at Hopkins. Just an observation, Paige isn’t playing her game. They seem to have people playing Willy Nilly, they are good players so they can make their shots, but Paige is the leader and heart. Go UConn!
My thoughts going into this season is it will only be a success if UCONN wins a championship in Paige’s last year. How they got their butts kicked by ND turned them from a front runner to a long shot. The UCONN bigs looked slow, lacking aggressiveness and unable to protect the ball. Not so sure this is fixable. Paige, Sarah and a healthy???? Azzi will not be enough to win it all. Need contributions from the bigs, Shade etc.One loss does not make a season but in this case cast a big cloud over their championship potential. Only 2 games left in season to test their progress USC and SC. The Big East looks weaker than last year. Playing this soft league schedule will mask their weaknesses. Still hoping for another final 4 run and thankful I have a little more time to watch Paige finish up her career at UCONn
Need to fine a 3rd scorer and IMO they cannot count on Azzi. Cheli and Ziebell need more minutes and hopefully one of them can emerge as that player. Ash, not given up on her, but she just disappears at times. Like I commented in the last video UConn will rip off 14 straight, but again they need to find that 3rd consistent scorer before Tenn and SC a few games after, which of course will be the real measuring stick.
KK and Ash haven't got better from year's 1 to 2, Paige, Azzi and Aaliyah got better from year's 1 to 2, It's time to move on and start plays Q, Morgan and Allie.
If they place a player in the corner it's not a question of finding good defenders, but a defensive system capable of blowing up that tactic. And before we think about offensive rebounds, let's think about grabbing defensive rebounds
Well guys the real team showed up Thursday not good very sad. Without Azzi and Aubery for defense not looking good for the rank teams Teams have found out double Paige and shut this team down Also this group is to nice
Kaitlyn Chen is good; very good. This team would be hurting without her. Is she a Lou Lopez Senechal ? No, she isn’t. But the UConn team that Lou Lopez played for was not as talented as this year’s team. This team has greater raw potential than any of our teams in recent years, so it is difficult to compare Kaitlyn to Lou. Lou was taller than Kaitlyn, but not as fast. You are comparing apples to oranges when you compare them. Good as she was, I do no think that Lou would be starting on this team, because of the immediate needs of the team have changed with its overall personnel.
I hope Paige has been seeing these "overrated" posts by the haters. I think it will fuel her. I honestly figured Ash would have a rough game vs ND. That's because she had an outstanding shooting game vs Louisville and she doesn't seem to have found her consistency yet this season. This game we will see lots of minutes for the bench

This team is better than that. At least I thought... they need to start falling
@@grobble8954 oh so true!!!

I am thinking we really want to start increasing her minutes. And maybe she will be starting by the end of the year.
I think the stats say that she is more productive than Brady on a per minutes played basis.
I think this is a game Geno should start Jana in place of Brady. That said, all of the non-starting 5 should get a lot of playing time.
I don't think the players on UConn have settled into their rolls. They are still trying to figure it out.

Hey Jason! Has there been a news outlet or something about ND fans trolling the team after the game? I was curious how you know about that
@@steviekinzey2304 nothing in the news. Saw the video on twitter. I couldn’t believe Geno kept his cool.
@@jasondamico_webdev ohhhh gotcha. I'm sure it wasn't Geno's first rodeo
@@steviekinzey2304 Agreed. He’s a better man than I am. 🤣

She will play against usc

Why Allie Ziebell not playng? Or Is she?

Thursday night game proved that there is no POY on the UConn team... more likely on ND’s and it’s HH. UConn should be embarrassed...!
The “really good defensive player” good slain by the ND guards.
Agree this team is missing something
I am not a basketball expert and this is not a criticism. I have had the privilege of watching Paige since I happened on to her at Hopkins. Just an observation, Paige isn’t playing her game.

He needs to use this game to use some of the other players to get them used to the system. Need to find defenders. Need to find offensive rebounders.
If they place a player in the corner it's not a question of finding good defenders, but a defensive system capable of blowing up that tactic.
And before we think about offensive rebounds, let's think about grabbing defensive rebounds
ND shot 7 more 3 pointers than UCONN. So?
Well guys the real team showed up Thursday not good very sad. Without Azzi and Aubery for defense not looking good for the rank teams Teams have found out double Paige and shut this team down Also this group is to nice
UCONN 81 GEORGETOWN 58 UCONN will bounce back from the loss. I don't believe that GEORGETOWN watched enough footage to stop Sara.
Kaitlyn Chen is good; very good. This team would be hurting without her. Is she a Lou Lopez Senechal ? No, she isn’t. But the UConn team that Lou Lopez played for was not as talented as this year’s team. This team has greater raw potential than any of our teams in recent years, so it is difficult to compare Kaitlyn to Lou. Lou was taller than Kaitlyn, but not as fast. You are comparing apples to oranges when you compare them. Good as she was, I do no think that Lou would be starting on this team, because of the immediate needs of the team have changed with its overall personnel.
UCONN 88, GTWN 58
