Sellers' foul on Bueckers at 38:24 was real dangerous; she acted like she didn't do anything, but her lower body was how she fouled; don't know if it's dirty, but definitely dangerous; Bueckers was defenseless in the air, glad she didn't get injured
You're still the best MJL...and my faith in you coming thru for us fans never waivers....have a blessed weekend!! Gonna watch the game right now...thanks so much.
Thanks MJL243! This was a promising game against a RANKED opponent! I hope the NC loss will drive them to win most of their games. If this team is healthy for the tournament, I can see them going to the final four if they take care of business. The freshman talent is the real deal. Good basketball IQ on all of them and Geno may get them back to traditional UCONN ball!! Go Huskies!
Thanks MJL. Ad I really don't believe Aubrey passing the ball to herself off the backboard in the first quarter. The only other player I've seen do that was Larry Bird.
UCONN was firing on all cylinders this game; even without Azzi. Maryland had a chip on their shoulders coming off that loss to S.C. It wasn't always pretty, but they got the job done against a relatively good team. I'm glad Paige was a little more selfish as she needs to be to set the tempo for herself and the other players who were emulating her in some respects. Somehow Geno turned them around.
That shook some cobwebs off! I'm pretty much harsh in my analyzing of the games, and hard on the players, when not performing. That said, Page was a lion, Edwards fought for every ball, Nika did well, Aubrey was fearless, Q was moving with purpose, KK belongs there, and...Shade, another young gutsy prospect that is not afraid. Well done ladies! MJ, you something special, to us!
It was a very fast and physical game borderline dirty. Paige took a lot of cheap shots there game plan was to knock her out Early but thankfully it didn't work. Very clutch proformances from the freshman. Poor Carolina Ducharme looked out of sink. She needs to play angry and not questioning her ability! Great Win!
Geno said in a post-game interview that during warmups she hit 10 in a row. Apparently it's the in-game experience which is distracting her. He wants them to play automatically, from habit. That's hard to do if there's any fear or confusion lingering.
38:24 nah she intentionally did that to make her fall. I'm glad they replayed that because you can clearly see she meant to do that. I'm just glad paige was OK
Rebounding is still the big issue for UCONN. Especially in the eraly game you saw how crucial it is and how Maryland got into the game and even took the lead because of better control of the board. Aaliyah needs help in the paint and Caroline isnt cutting it. Aubrey step up big on the defense in this game after a slow start, but the bigs is again this years "problem" area. On the other hand i really love the freshmen this year and how fearlessly they just adapt to the game and defend and score right away. In reguards to guards UCONN is packed with talent. They need big desperately.
That's a brand of defense we couldn't have last year. Having more young, energetic players makes a huge difference. Aaliyah wasn't the focal point on offense because Maryland double or triple-teamed her. But, when Ice was in with her, it went pretty well. The rotations looked better and Paige got lots of time. As for the physicality, the war, Maryland introduced it and UConn showed them how to do that too. UConn stands together. Punch one, they all punch back. Qadence looked really good for a short time. KK, Ashelynn, and Ice all looked better in this up-tempo brawl. I hardly noticed Nika at first. This seems to be her kind of game, but with everybody involved, she didn't stand out so much. She and KK both have a good PG ability to spark things. Carol needs to work on her confidence that she can shoot without worrying about getting hit (and hurt). A sports psychologist might help. Aubrey was great early, but she is not a dribble-drive scorer. In the craziness of a game like this each player has to stay true to themselves. Great blocks, steals, and defense by everybody. How many FTs did UConn get, maybe 8? Given the fight it seemed low. Sellers is very good, but also a faker & flopper.
If anybody saw my messages after the NC State game....my biggest "complaint" was why didn't Ashlynn get any minutes? That kid is SOLID, and would have been a factor in that game. I think Geno must have heard me yelling at the TV....lol. He said after yesterday's game that she reminds him of Shea Ralph...that's high praise right there!! I think we will see lots more of her.
Her tendency is to put others forward and then to bring up the rear. Players often feel she's the ONLY shooter. Right now, she's leading just ahead of the rest of the team. It's a good look.
I wonder if Sellers if so lucky on her shots through out the year. She took some wild shots that mostly went in. Also a bit of liking contact when trying to score.
Thanks for the upload! If you’re gonna be doing SNY games this year could you upload the pre and post games too? Pretty please! Help a west coaster out
Came back to rewatch, and what a full circle moment with Mike being in the crowd watching & then fast forward a few months, drafting Aaliyah to the Mystics 🥹
Third game of the season... If there is anything to be learned about UConn over the years, season games are prep for March/April; I'm thinking there will be many changes between now and The Tournament
He may do it this time! The three freshman and Ice contribute a lot and have no fear! Muhl should be a 6th player to get the defense going or just pass as much as she can when in. She doesn't add enough offense, and drive enough. I have faith in these freshman! They are great! Who knows what will come of Azzi and Caroline? Get well Azzi!
With 44 seconds remaining in the first half, Kubek collides with Griffin on a screen and gets hit in the throat. The officials reviewed and decided there was nothing there. Of course, on the replay, it's clear that Kubek slid into Griffin on an illegal screen which hadn't been called initially. That was why Griffin hit her in the first place, because she'd been blindsided by a moving screen. It was an early season game, but I thought there was a lot of moving screens from MD. Maybe they cleaned that up later in the season.
Remember back a few years ago, UCONN lost early in the season to Arkansas because they played awful defense, with too many fouls. They learned their lesson and end up in the final game of the NCAA tournament where they lost cause SC got over 20 more foul shots than UCONN! They need to play tough no foul Defense! This year the bench Freshman seem ready for the bigtime!
When they played Arkansas again, UCONN whooped up on them for revenge. Also, UCONN beat S.C. earlier that season on a Paige 3 pointer. It was a physical game.
Caroline Ducharme should not be warming the bench; she should be in attack mode. Caroline is a talent that is being wasted at UConn. She is being planted in the corners instead of doing what brought her to UConn in the first place.
Look at Ducharme on the bench at 4:27 left in the third on the game clock, and at 1:00:48 on the video timer - ice bag, look at the look in her eyes; Caroline is still struggling physically... you're right, she is a talent, but her body is not keeping up with her. And, if you watched her pre-season interviews she said whatever it is she is dealing with is a day-to-day, up-and-down situation. She isn't "warming the bench"; something is still not right with her health...
Go Basketball Uconn teams good players are be my favotites are be of A.Edwards C.Durcharme .A.Fudd N.Muhl A.Griffin P.Bueckers I.Brady Good Coaches For Uconn Geno Ariumme very good Coaches he's teaching his own Uconn players too them...
U need Aubrey or Edward’s or brady two of them on the floor most of the time they can’t play three guards w Edward’s vs a big back or front court like nc state. When azzi gets back nikas time will go down a lil and Caroline r gonna have to come off the bench griffin needs to start
Sorry, You are our Savior - please forgive me - right now our team just heard we lost Azzi - & we’re playing tge #2/3 team in the nation - can u PLEASE, with all HOPE & Wonder - PLEASE SEND US THIS NOW
@@CharlestonWhite12 I don't know about that I think she needs to slow down a little and not rush her shots they can't take her place she's way to good of a stroke for that but in tense games she's too tight
It's too bad Ines doesn't get more playing time with all the freshman guards. But at least she got on the court in garbage time. Amari cannot even sniff the court despite their lack of depth on the front court.
To win a national championship, you need lots of easy buckets and the Huskies sure maximized opportunities in this game with lots of fast breaks, but those opportunities diminish against better teams. Until UCONN improves their half court game and their 3-point shooting, it’s going to be an uphill battle. Easy fast break points can supplement your offense, but it can’t be your offense. They have all the tools this season, but so far, outside of Paige and Aubrey, the upper class-men are under-performing. Right now, it looks like the freshmen, including Ice, are going to have to continue picking up the slack. So far, they’ve been impressive. Not a great formula, but if it works, who’s going to argue.
"if it works, who's going to argue." right, so what are you talking about here??? "under-performing" "picking up the slack" I remember you from last year; you don't seem to understand Coach A; regular season is prep for March / April... you're nitpicking on stuff and calling it, "not a great formula" there isn't a formula at this point - the formula is being developed; for Coach A the season doesn't start until the conference tournament - that's what he has said
I still believe Geno needs two more big players and it doesn't matter if there Transgender or not, it's obviously a Co-ed League anyway but, Paige Bueckers needs to be Protected from teams like Maryland who's sole purpose to knock Paige Bueckers out of the game, These Cheap Shot's are Ridiculous! Two more physical body's to lay down some very hard fouls the show this league and the Corrupt NCAA officials they will not be bullied.
![Sean Rii, Karyon, Sharzkii - Taungule [My Love] (Official Music Video)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/eJoMuypbSzQ/mqdefault.jpg)
paige needs to be protected, you can tell some teams want her out of the game
In less than a minute Buekers got a block a steal a rebound and an assist! This is what we have to look forward to this year!
Sellers' foul on Bueckers at 38:24 was real dangerous; she acted like she didn't do anything, but her lower body was how she fouled; don't know if it's dirty, but definitely dangerous; Bueckers was defenseless in the air, glad she didn't get injured
They must’ve had an inspiring pregame speech with Nika coming out hitting the first 3 lol

Paige w/ 24 points!
People are being reminded about who she is, a baller!

A cool moment at 1:12:58,9 - Ashlyn Shade's look of respect at Paige Bueckers, nice to see ..... gotta love Buecker's toughness in this game
Thanks MJL. Ad I really don't believe Aubrey passing the ball to herself off the backboard in the first quarter. The only other player I've seen do that was Larry Bird.
@MJL243 Thanks from the other side of the world. I wouldn't get to see most of these games without your efforts. Keep it up, please!

great analysis. It actually is Anika’s kind of game.

He said after yesterday's game that she reminds him of Shea Ralph...that's high praise right there!! I think we will see lots more of her.
I'm a UCONN fan but have to hand it to Sellers. She's a solid player on both sides of the court.
i always feel like paige could shoot more
Her tendency is to put others forward and then to bring up the rear. Players often feel she's the ONLY shooter. Right now, she's leading just ahead of the rest of the team. It's a good look.

Uconn is very good in acquiring talented freshmen.
Thanks
Thanks MJL
@MJL243 I appreciate you 👍
The word of the year, coined by Geno I believe, intentionality. Broadcaster overusing it.
Third game of the season... If there is anything to be learned about UConn over the years, season games are prep for March/April; I'm thinking there will be many changes between now and The Tournament
and you were so right im re watching games but you were 100% right we alr 12 games no losses so excited for the game today
Need a new starting five for Minnesota. The freshmen offer more than Caroline. Make the change Geno.
True.. But géno would likely want to stick to the the seniors.
He may do it this time! The three freshman and Ice contribute a lot and have no fear! Muhl should be a 6th player to get the defense going or just pass as much as she can when in. She doesn't add enough offense, and drive enough. I have faith in these freshman! They are great! Who knows what will come of Azzi and Caroline? Get well Azzi!
Yeah Ducharme is looking pretty washed up lol. I'm all for the switch. Anybody than her. Aubrey or Samuels.
Another thank you to MJL243!!!

Shae kk and q need to play together they could be as strong as the freshies that recently graduated from South Carolina
Yeah, these 3 freshmen are fearless; no hesitation playing their game. Will be a big factor in March.
Will you do uconn vs minnesota?
