@ yeah, Hidalgo definitely got my vote if we talking about this year…she takes care of the ball and makes better decisions than Juju, in my opinion…Juju is more of a two than a point, but Watson’s athleticism is the x-factor
I like how Paige didn’t duck smoke and guarded Juju. Now a days you don’t see stars guarding stars. Juju was cooking her most of the game but Paige still gets my respect though for sure
Hidalgo Team has 2 Ls though USC 1 .. USC also has a tougher schedule playing Uconn and UCLA twice. Hannah Caught USC early when they were still jelling bet ND don't want that smoke now
I started following women’s basketball after jumping on the Caitlin train. I tuned into this game last night to see the “next” big stars. The main thing I noticed is how much dynamic offensive production CC produces, and with inferior talent around her. It’s simply mind boggling to me.
KK needs to start and run the offense. Don't understand why the coach for Uconn can't see that fact. Sit Ice because I'm tired of watching this overrated player. Play Jana. Azzi has to get her steak going again. Shade is a better shooter than Chen. This team needs to stop giving up so many open 3s. This is an abomination. Start out of the gate to avoid playing from behind.
UCONN HAS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH TRAINING PROGRAM/ PLAYERS STAY HURT/ ANS THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOREVER/ THE PLAYERS TEND TO GET WORSE AS THEY GET OLDER/ PAIGE FOR EXAMPLE GETS BUMPED AROUND EASILY/HER BEST SEASON WAS HER FIRST/
Sheryl Swoopes and Diana Taurasi were criticizing the wrong person, as their comments actually apply more to Paige Bueckers than to CaitlinClark. Sheryl said, "But you have a 25-year-old playing against a 20-year-old," and Diana added, "Reality is coming. There’s levels to this thing. You look superhuman playing against 18-year-olds, but you’re going to [be playing against] some grown women that have been playing professional basketball for a long time." Paige has been overhyped, but her performance has been more like that of a role player. She couldn't deliver wins for her team against two 19-year-olds, Hannah (ND) and Juju (USC), who managed to beat her team (UConn).
DT later came out and said CC would lead the Fever back to the top like Catchings did. DT should be given some credit for updating some of the things she said. The Fever going 4-0 against Phx was quite humbling for her to experience. Paige will be a injury prone mid level player in the wnba, not some franchise altering star like CC.
USC & UCLA have beat UCONN there year. This is how it should have always been with the talent in L.A. There was no excuse for UCONN to dominate college basketball the way it did, and the L.A. schools sucking for as long as they did. Finally got it together.
She needs more work on finishing at rim and ball handling, and I don't love her shot. Not the form just how flat it comes off the hand but she's 6'2 so it's not a big deal.
She was much better before the injuries. I think she would have been better if she stayed closer to home instead of going to UConn. OR another uni in general.
@@ericjames4887 easy fix? she couldn't stop traveling if she tried cuz she's been trained to think it's not traveling. to be fair all player's today travel a lot. she's a ball hog and only slightly makes her teammates better. she can do better.
Juju the best player in college basketball
Notre Dame’s Hidalgo is pretty tough too
No she’s not. Hidalgo is playing like the best player in college. There’s still a lot of basketball left and UCLA is looking tough.
@ yeah, Hidalgo definitely got my vote if we talking about this year…she takes care of the ball and makes better decisions than Juju, in my opinion…Juju is more of a two than a point, but Watson’s athleticism is the x-factor
Hannah...
JuJu is definitely the best player, period!
That was a close game,congrats to USC
Big win. Fight on Trojans.

JuJu smoked Paige! 🙄😂🤣
Not to much in the fourth qtr where it counts the most 🤷🏼♂️
Competition is competition. USC are for sure contenders and they just gotta tighten defense and attack that glass
LETS GOOOOO SC !!!!!!!
Juju ice cold veins at the line closing seconds of the game up 1.
Paige has now lost to both Hildago & JuJu. We might need to start having a conversation here…
All 3 still haven’t shown the same potential trajectory of Caitlin Clark
@@butterball_that doesn't even make sense
@@AntwoineBakerwhy come it don’t?
@@butterball_Good Grief😂
@@butterball_”potential trajectory” lol what?
juju need that title this year
Hidalgo 2-0. Juju 1-1. Paige 0-2.
Nuff said
JuJu is the best , period! Y’all overhype skin tone! 🙄
Paige is still the best of the bunch

JuJu💯
Very entertaining game..makes the flight home more enjoyable..great experience for our SC freshmen
Juju and Sarah were sensational. They were both exhausted at the end, which is why I think they both missed key free throws.
@@Criminal.Lawyer.2024 free throws are the most important shot's in basketball.
@@HenrySmith-r8p 💯
This game was 🔥… definitely need more games on these to level for the sport for women… great game though
Just stop
I never heard of sarah strong, look like she got some game too
she scored 25pts and got a triple double

They definitely do have an issue.
Was this game on TV? I searched for a half hour. What a shame I really wanted to watch it!!!
It was on Fox after the Steelers Ravens game.
This was Paige vs. Juju. Had UCONN won, I'd still have given the 1 on 1 match up to Juju Watkins.
Commentators:
Jason Benetti, Sarah Kustok & Allison Williams
Good basketball
Poor Geno… 🤣😂😆

This isn’t 1v1. It’s a team game

@jordanlj1 Good on DT for that. Swoopes on the other hand is still in denial 😑

Juju should be eligible to get drafted
She's not ready yet. She got handled a couple week's ago at home by Hidalgo from Notre Dame.
@ yeah but Notre dame is the best team in the country and they also have the predicted 3rd pick in the 2025 wnba draft Olivia miles lol
They earn more in college and have a chance to develop a big following. The WNBA isn't going anywhere.
@@HenrySmith-r8pShe didn’t get handled JA! She wasn’t playing the game alone ! She’s better than that girl, period! 🤡
She needs more work on finishing at rim and ball handling, and I don't love her shot. Not the form just how flat it comes off the hand but she's 6'2 so it's not a big deal.
Juju scary good!
Bueckers is not clark... not even in the same neighborhood!!!
3 minutes is crazy srry
For UConn to battle back and make it a competitive game was everything the last possession could’ve went better for them.
Shame that UConn has to play with 5 guards to get the most out of the team.
Fun game to watch. If UConn brought the defensive intensity earlier this game, they could have won.
Nah
Lol they wouldn’t have either way. 😂
Juju the goat
The nba should be embarrassed that womans college hoops is superior to whats on nba tv
Free throws, free throws, and shooting percentage is the reason why UConn lost.
They lost to a better player and team! 😎Y’all just like to overhype skin tone!
USC had more grit.
I do not get the Paige hype
You will in March
She was much better before the injuries. I think she would have been better if she stayed closer to home instead of going to UConn. OR another uni in general.
Woman cant hoop.. Jordan,Bird,Pippen,Magic and Tim Duncan would have put up 989 points 😂
Juju majors in hair weaves and coloring books. Can't spell the word basketball.
Paige beckets is overrated
Paige not that good
Juju travels too much
So, easy fix. That all you got?
@@ericjames4887 easy fix? she couldn't stop traveling if she tried cuz she's been trained to think it's not traveling. to be fair all player's today travel a lot. she's a ball hog and only slightly makes her teammates better. she can do better.
Shut up hater
BS, Paige traveled all game! 🤡Y’all like to overhype skin tone!
Everyone was traveling out there it seemed
