Absolutely slaughtered. I didn't think Gonzaga could lose by that much by any team in the tournament. They got out played in every facet of the game. What a crazy March Madness tournament!
It’s nice to see a hometown kid doing well out there. That would be #32 DONOVAN CLINGAN from Bristol Connecticut. His high school team won states as well.
I seriously thought The Zags would make it a nail biter for us Husky fans. But this UCONN team is just so solid in all phases of the game. The last 2 titles we won felt more like magical runs, this team just looks monstrous. On to the FINAL 4 Husky fans 😎
2014 title I agree was more magical than actual skill and talent getting us there, but that 2011 team was one of the top 5 teams in the country that season, don't care what anyone says. We won the Maui that year and the Big East was absolutely LOADED sending a record 11 teams to the tournament. This team reminds me of that one in the fact that we struggled in Big East play, but completely dominated our non-conference opponents.
@@TurboFist0 meh, I tend to agree with the OP. In 2011 anytime Kemba went to the bench, it felt like we were just hanging on until he returned. Same in 2014 with Shahbaz. This year.. it doesn't matter. Sanago didn't even have to show up last night. This team is sooo deep
This has the vibe of 2014 when UConn went on that incredible run to a national championship. I don’t know if this is true, but I just have that feeling about this team
@@RobbieStacks90How old were you; 10? The 2014 UConn team was the best free throw shooting and top 5 defensive team. The Huskies were coming off NCAA sanctions and did the impossible with the two best guard combo in the nation. You’re clueless!

This guy is the guy who maintains all order and balance kinda like draymond on both ends. ive watched these highlights just focusing on him and this guy is the glue of the team.
It's the kind of awareness that comes from a player who's a student of the game... Contrary to popular perspectives, this game is cerebral as well as simple. The more you know about how it's to be played, the more aware you are about positions on the floor...yours, your teammate's, and the opposition's. Anyone who's played this game knows that it's advantages to success on the floor is concentrated on positioning and timing...even down to fractions of inches and milliseconds. This awareness is required for all PGs and those with the ball in their hands most of the time during a possession.
@@jonm7888 theres no way. dude got trapped in the corner and the play design was to dump it off the the roller for either a shot in the paint or to kick out. Jackson somehow before it even happened saw that the pass wasnt going to get there and jumped it. not only did he jump it but he knew where the shooter was gonna be and got it there with zero hesitation. this play was not drawn up to play out the way it did.
As a lifelong resident of Southeastern CT, I was in college when UConn won their first national championship. There are literally no words to accurately describe the sheer celebratory mayhem that occurred following that win over heavily favorited Duke. To see them virtually 25 years later in their 6th Final Four, and practically blowing out every team they faced in this year's tournament, brings not only a strong sense of nostalgia...but also an incredibly deep sense of pride as well. Whether they win this upcoming weekend, or not, I am sincerely elated for Dan Hurley, and this young core of talented players. They certainly deserve any and all success they've painstakingly strived for. Go Huskies!!! 🔥💯👍😁👍💯🔥
Unprecedented level of dominance thus far. I’ve watched UConn’s best teams over the past 30 years but have never seen a performance like the last couple weeks.
'04 was similar with the amount of blowouts in the regionals. '04 UConn beat a tremendous Duke team in the next round before putting G-Tech to the sword. '99 UConn didn't blowout anyone post the second round, but '99 UConn did run through the Big East tournament the week before the tournament. I remember UConn blowing out St. John's in the Big East Championship game. It was stunning because St. John's was close to equal footing to UConn. Then a few weeks later UConn beat arguably the greatest Duke team under Coach K. in the national championship game.
I was on campus in 99 as a Sophomore when we won. That year was impressive before the tournament but they did not dominate like they have so far in this one. In 09 we started like assassins and then slowed down. This year very game has ended with full domination at the end of the 2nd. I got my hopes up with that start to the season. Saw my hopes drop with the up down streak. Saw them lose in MSG and gave up. Did not expect this at all. 2 more to go!!
@@mongoslade277 Probably didn't mention it because they played Iowa in the Sweet 16 in 1999. Washington lost to Miami of Ohio in the first round in '98. I'm sure that game was a farce too, right?
The Zags really need to shift to a tougher conference. They just don't have the mental toughness you get from playing against higher level competition week after week. It's so obvious when they run into highly athletic teams like this that they aren't used to facing. They have no answers and no way to adjust to it, and their players know it, so they get run off the floor. If Ucla hadn't needed to slow the game down because of how short handed they were it would have happened one game earlier.
They like having a guaranteed high seeded spot during the tournament, it helps with recruiting. They won't learn it doesn't mean anything when you can't win against teams that actually know how to play basketball.
@@benj3911 I think he means because it's a yearly reoccurrence for the Zags just like when they faced an athletic Baylor in the Championship game in 2021 they didn't know what to do or how to adjust and got ran off the court.
Great to see Uconn back at this level of play. These last three games have been amazing, whatever adjustments they make for the second half of these games has them crushing some very good teams.
some interesting things people have to consider about UConn’s quick turnaround: their point differential in all 4 games in their wins is 22.8 points. they are 4th in the Big East, lost to Marquette by 2 points in the final seconds. Creighton is 1-1 vs UConn this season and Creighton is 3rd in the Big East. AP ranked them nearly every week even with tons of losses
@@anthonylaflare-du3jy how many championships does Creighton have? ZERO… you beat the huskies when they were rebuilding the program.. going forward you’ll be lucky to split every year… very lucky
This Uconn team was the real deal and destroyed everyone they faced in the 2023 tournament but it's still astounding to see Gonzaga be completely dominated like this rewatching these highlights nearly 2 months later.
I agree. Timme was neutralized by marginal officiating. Struggling backcourt was atrocious. And guys who showed up with second half clutch play all year vanished. Game showed how far away this Zag team was from being a champion. Congrats to Huskies who really played with desperation, hunger for that W. Wish the Zags had made shots and made this a competitive tournament game, but instead? The hit the wall, and let go of the rope
I was I telling someone the other day I thought there was a 50% chance that this game was gonna be a blowout! I guess I under estimated it by about 50%!😉
Amazingly impressive performance by UConn tonight. Brings thoughts to mind including how the Big(media buzzed)10 has a #1 seed in Purdue (a thanks to Lunardi/Palm) while the Big(overlooked)East has the Huskies as a #4 seed. Bracketology is NO predictable science!!
This is almost as bad as Chino Hills vs Mater Dei. The fact that the worst play of the night for Uconn was a missed dunk turned into a 3 pointer speaks volumes
5 years ago this program was at a crossroads, how could it get back that luster of being one of the elite programs. Then they pulled off what I thought was a MASTERPIECE hiring of Danny Hurley. It has taken him only 5yrs to get this program back to the FF. He's a great coach, leader, motivator. He's also has some great recruits coming in. Uconn is back!!
To be fair it's not like Danny Hurley was some unknown coach UConn plucked out of obscurity. He was one of the hottest coaching prospects when he was at Rhode Island.
All of the hype for Gonzaga coming into this game after ripping the souls from UCLA again, all the talk about how this was finally going to be the year they win it all. And then the Basketball Gods ripped their souls again. You can't even blame the Dawgs for losing, they just ran into an absolute machine. UConn has been the best team in the whole tournament so far, and I can't wait to see them in a potential Final 4 matchup with Texas. Whoever wins that game in my opinion will win it all.
UConn has the pedigree. It doesn't guarantee championships, but it guarantees confidence. The 2023 team ran through the West Region like the 2004 UConn team did. Three of UConn's four championships started out West ('99, '04, and '11). Maybe the Texas home court advantage will knock off UConn if Texas makes it to the Final Four. As of now, there isn't a clearer favorite to win this tournament than UConn. Expect to see all the UConn legends in attendance next weekend.
I’m a Texas fan.. but also a pure basketball fan. So even I know from the eye test of this tournament that UConn needs to be completely off their game to lose right now. This team is pretty scary and even my Texas longhorns need to play absolutely perfect to go toe to toe with them. We will see what happens the rest of the way but UConn looks like a championship team.
@@Nick-wo4ls Speaking of pedigree, "03 Texas did beat '03 UConn in San Antonio I believe. That was a close game that could have gone any way. If Texas makes the Final Four, then they have history on their side in a matchup against UConn in the Lone Star State.
One of the hardest things to do is to play so well that you make good teams look like bad teams. UConn has made all four of their opponents in this tournament so far look like 16 seeds. And there have been good teams in there. They are steamrolling right now.
I wasn't happy with the result here, as I was rooting for Gonzaga, but UConn, you guys look unstoppable. It would hard pressed to find a team to match up with your athleticism going forward. Congrats on your success so far in the tournament.
Couldn’t agree more, I really wish they would choose a more neutral thumbnail starting next year. I think House of Highlights chooses thumbnails where you can’t tell
while I agree with you to an extent, I'm willing to bet the majority of the demographic that watch these highlights, already follow the tournament relatively closely and knew the result before clicking. not to mention that this video will be up for years and years, and the thumbnail will give a good reference point to those that will be specifically looking for it.
Looking at how Uconn dominated the 2023 tournament wire to wire you should be proud, SMC put up a more respectable fight than vaunted Gonzaga did against them.
#4 UConn will face the winner of Miami (FL)-Texas at Houston next Saturday for the Final Four on CBS. It’s their first Final Four Appearance since 2014 when they won the National Championship
I'm thankful for these highlight videos. I started following UConn almost 50 years ago (Dee Rowe era) but don't have access to watch most of their games.
@@Bug-vl3pb oh no. I agree with you. Im just saying that that's what Charles Barkley was saying. But he was rooting for Gonzaga and he doesnt hide his preference for the underdog.
There's just something about UCLA man...whenever they play Gonzaga they drain whatever is left of them and the Zags end up getting blown out the next game
I have Uconn beating Marquette this year. Last year I had Kansas beating Kentucky. I feel pretty proud even though my bracket is mostly wrecked lol. That’s the joy of the tournament.
My goodness!!! March Madness is the greatest event in all of sports in all of human history. The super bowl, world series, The Finals etc all pale in comparison bc none of them nvolve any Madness. The people who run the NAACP tournament are pure fukking geniuses. Someone give them a raise!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!
Each round has seen a team shoot anemically - around 33% from the field (40% is avg in most gms), 3-pt shooting in the 20% or worse (33% is typical most gms). Zags caught the bad shooting bug at a bad time, but it’s happened in each round. Tenn, Maryland, Iowa St had it in earlier rounds. Meanwhile in this gm, UConn was popping, congrats.
@@Ricky-gx3ns It’s a joke. Of course they’d get destroyed by a nba team. UConn is just playing so great they seem completely unbeatable in the ncaa, like they’d need to go to a higher league just to get competition.
Amazing Victory,UConn the Best team in this Tournament this year,i'm very Glad For that,Let's Go Huskies 👍😎😎🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀,Yes!!!,Great Victory,Huge Victory!!!!!
When the season started two teams that I felt had a chance at the title were Arizona and Uconn.. Good to see one of them has made it down the line. Uconn for the title.
Lol hope so. I live in Connecticut, one town over from Bristol. The home of ESPN. Friday morning after the Thursday games they started talking FAU and Kansas state and drooling over the Zags comeback. Then just went to commercial.. I was like wow.. not a mention about the home state team that absolutely dominated.. we'll see what happens this week
Gonzaga has not fully recovered from that national championship slaughter at the hands of Baylor 2 years ago. They always find ways to underachieve almost every year in the tournament
People didn’t even expect them to make it this far this year. They underachieved in no way possible, they had a bad game today but just because they’ve underachieved the previous couple years you can’t say that about this year.
come on man!!!! its so hard to win it all one bad game derails any chance. elite 8 sweet 16 great result for any program.... this whole never won it all BS is just that... final 4s championship games sweet 16 almost every year... no excuse for tonight but quit disrespecting what this small school from a small town in a small conference has accomplished, Past 20 years without doing 1 and dones or top 5 recruits they rank with anyone. show some respect to that. I mean really Uconn you guys have cred recruiting wise.

Absurd dominating team. Hope they can keep it up for two more games.

Don’t even need to look at the video to know who won, thumbnail spoils it every highlight video. Way to go UConn
Couldn’t agree more, I really wish they would choose a more neutral thumbnail starting next year. I think House of Highlights chooses thumbnails where you can’t tell
while I agree with you to an extent, I'm willing to bet the majority of the demographic that watch these highlights, already follow the tournament relatively closely and knew the result before clicking. not to mention that this video will be up for years and years, and the thumbnail will give a good reference point to those that will be specifically looking for it.
The NBA is only a FRACTION as good as March Madness :)
Such a close game
UCONN will win it all this year. They look scary good.
Very well done again, UCON! (From Kansas's Fan)
As an SMC alumn, this gave me joy
Looking at how Uconn dominated the 2023 tournament wire to wire you should be proud, SMC put up a more respectable fight than vaunted Gonzaga did against them.
#4 UConn will face the winner of Miami (FL)-Texas at Houston next Saturday for the Final Four on CBS. It’s their first Final Four Appearance since 2014 when they won the National Championship
Ok captain obvious...
They’ll dismantle Miami.
Uconn is just one of those sports teams like the Lakers, Yankees, Patriots that is fine ways to win championships
Ty for the edit and upload!
Absolute domination by UConn they taking the championship without a doubt
We're doomed.
Speak of the devil.
This aged like fine wine.
Ohhhh that’s not nice. That’s not nice at all. UCONN did them dirty. Wow!
As a UCLA fan this brings a smile to my face.
When the UConn women couldn’t reach the Final Four this year, the UConn men will for them.
Yep.
awsome game
Howe can a good team in Gonzaga get manhandled so badly. This wasn't supposed to happen to a #3 seed.
Say it with me now...O-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D...
@@garyaugustus690 nah uconn is just underrated
Because their division is a joke
Gonzaga plays in a 2nd-rate conference, which hides their weaknesses and hinders their development. UConn plays in a meat grinder.
I think maybe if they didn'trank Gonzaga every year they would have a chip on their shoulder and they might win the title
Such a wonderful game. I have watched it many times. I like those players. It's hard to win in the next game, but hopefully, UConn can go further.
I'm thankful for these highlight videos. I started following UConn almost 50 years ago (Dee Rowe era) but don't have access to watch most of their games.
82 to 54 is crazy
Gonzaga, forever "Next Year's champs"...
You'll be saying that for the next 20 years......
I said FOREVER, not 20 years, FOREVER.
@@mattstats1555 lol.... My bad, I misread your post.
No sweat...just tired of the Gonzaga hype...they play in a super weak conference, hence their great record every year.
Forever wishful thinking
The Gonzaga Trumpers!
The Beast of the East , hope i see Jim Calhoun at the final 4 with all is NBA players he coached.
I have UConn picked to win the finals , they are the most complete team !
good game boys. proud of you guys
Shout out to UCONN Fans💙🤍✌️
Texas and UConn are the class of the field
Imagine blaming the refs for a 28 point loss...gonzaga didn't play well, they lost...end of story. GO HUSKIES
@Smalls Pyrotechnics gonzaga got completely destroyed in every category get over yourself
@@Artemis_A-24 Charles Barkley alluded to the refs taking Timme out of the game. 😂
He hit Jackson in the face with a forearm. Refs are calling that every time.
@@theloverswineverytime1625 cmon man really timme was getting locked up yall are acting like he would have erased a 30 point deficit by himself 💀💀💀
@@Bug-vl3pb oh no. I agree with you. Im just saying that that's what Charles Barkley was saying. But he was rooting for Gonzaga and he doesnt hide his preference for the underdog.
There's just something about UCLA man...whenever they play Gonzaga they drain whatever is left of them and the Zags end up getting blown out the next game
I have Uconn beating Marquette this year. Last year I had Kansas beating Kentucky. I feel pretty proud even though my bracket is mostly wrecked lol. That’s the joy of the tournament.
I thought this was finally Gonzaga’s year after they werent seen as favorites coming into the tournament. Guess not
Same. I'm glad they lost though. 👏👏😊
My goodness!!! March Madness is the greatest event in all of sports in all of human history. The super bowl, world series, The Finals etc all pale in comparison bc none of them nvolve any Madness. The people who run the NAACP tournament are pure fukking geniuses. Someone give them a raise!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!
You don't win games where you make 10% of 3 point shots and shoot 54% from the free throw line.
Or when u play UCONN!
The bad part is they're blaming the referees for that performance
Each round has seen a team shoot anemically - around 33% from the field (40% is avg in most gms), 3-pt shooting in the 20% or worse (33% is typical most gms). Zags caught the bad shooting bug at a bad time, but it’s happened in each round. Tenn, Maryland, Iowa St had it in earlier rounds. Meanwhile in this gm, UConn was popping, congrats.
texas vs uconn is going to be an all time great game
That Gonzaga commercial before watching this… ooof
UConn advances to the Final Four for the first time since 2014.
Creighton UConn finals is gonna be weird for sure . But Big East is back to running CBB, thanks to UConn coming back
After this tournament is over UConn is going to say “hey where’s those Milwaukee bucks at right now? Bring over let’s play them”.
As a bulls fan the bucks would absolutely slaughter this team bro
No college team can beat a nba team not even the worst nba team like the pistons
@@Ricky-gx3ns It’s a joke. Of course they’d get destroyed by a nba team. UConn is just playing so great they seem completely unbeatable in the ncaa, like they’d need to go to a higher league just to get competition.
Amazing Victory,UConn the Best team in this Tournament this year,i'm very Glad For that,Let's Go Huskies 👍😎😎🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀,Yes!!!,Great Victory,Huge Victory!!!!!
UConn and Creighton are the only ones left on my bracket
I have them both left also. But I have Creighton going down today. Wish I had picked them to win now.
How about a lead that was a 30 point buffer, they beat the $#!+ out of them
When the season started two teams that I felt had a chance at the title were Arizona and Uconn.. Good to see one of them has made it down the line. Uconn for the title.
uconn definitely gets respect after that game!
Lol hope so. I live in Connecticut, one town over from Bristol. The home of ESPN. Friday morning after the Thursday games they started talking FAU and Kansas state and drooling over the Zags comeback. Then just went to commercial.. I was like wow.. not a mention about the home state team that absolutely dominated.. we'll see what happens this week
@@crzycolchris i live in arkansas. they absolutely made us look like a high school team😂🤦♂️ i hope they go all the way
we need the full game
Blue teams are really good at March Madness
Dan Hurley got a real good squad
Gonzaga has not fully recovered from that national championship slaughter at the hands of Baylor 2 years ago. They always find ways to underachieve almost every year in the tournament
They were choking long before that. They need a stronger conference. I’d respect them more if they played in the PAC 12
@@jessesparks8307 the Pac-12 isn’t any better tbh. and when UCLA leaves it’ll get consistently worse.
People didn’t even expect them to make it this far this year. They underachieved in no way possible, they had a bad game today but just because they’ve underachieved the previous couple years you can’t say that about this year.
come on man!!!! its so hard to win it all one bad game derails any chance. elite 8 sweet 16 great result for any program.... this whole never won it all BS is just that... final 4s championship games sweet 16 almost every year... no excuse for tonight but quit disrespecting what this small school from a small town in a small conference has accomplished, Past 20 years without doing 1 and dones or top 5 recruits they rank with anyone. show some respect to that. I mean really Uconn you guys have cred recruiting wise.
They lost to far Superior teams so I would not call it under achieving just not on that talent level.
What a dominate performance 💯
This UConn team is on a mission, wow.
