And we were supposed to get UConn vs SC earlier this season but the game was cancelled. Now the game finally goes down but for the championship. I think SC wins it.
WOW, great game. Uconn made way too many turnovers down the stretch. Lucky to escape with a victory. Can't afford to do this against South Carolina. Should be a good game.
I don't see how you can bet against UConn at this point. The real X factor is Geno. I don't know what kind of relationship the kids on other teams have with their coach but you can see how much the players love Geno. It's obvious they want to win for him in the worst way.
You literally have virtually the same thing on the SC side. The Lady Gamecocks absolutely love Coach Staley. The difference is, they aren't on the floor to win it for Dawn - they are out there to win it for themselves. UConn/USC is going to be one heck of a great final!
UConn better not repeat that disaster of a 4th quarter performance they had in their first meeting. Both teams have the ability to force turnovers and, unfortunately, both teams can be extremely sloppy with the ball on offense.
Another amazing game! Of course I love watching Paige do her thing, but I wonder when Nika Muhl is going to get the press she deserves. Once again, she proved why she was defensive player of the year. The Woman is a lock down specialist! She consistently turns the momentum of a game in UConn's favor and is the perfect compliment to the UConn offense. Congrats, UConn Ladies!! I will be cheering you on! Peace to all!
Good job Aliyah! That was a strong finish! Liv and Aliyah stepped up in this game! UConn needs to be better inbounding the ball. Big free throws for Azzi and Kristen and Aliyah!
The commentators seem to not be aware that Edwards is an above 80% from the line this season. Williams is only 67%. The main problem was too much time passed before the foul.
Really incredible. Especially being that she played every game of the season for this squad that saw heavy health scares and injury absences... To play every game and still hit free throw percentages that high, definitely a recipe for a powerful team that experienced troubles, to stay init like this.
I don’t watch much women’s basketball but I did see sc vs uconn in Atlantis earlier this year and I remember saying these two teams will meet in the tourney and here we are I’m expecting another great game
Coach he manages the Time Outs well and then by doing so is able to manage the game!!! All you young Coaches watch and take notes!!! It is what happen after the Huddle that counts as well when the T.O. happens!!! GO LADY HUSKIES!!!
@Michael Boroski It may come as a shock to you, but those are young WOMEN playing WCBB, and NOT LADIES!!!! (please take note of the letter "W" in WCBB).
Hopefully, UConn can be competitive against South Carolina. There first meeting turned out to be a rout by the Gamecocks with that 4th quarter dismantling of the Huskies.
Right there on that first possession you can see the Cardinals either weren't physical enough or were tired. Getting floored off a clean screen and then hitting the deck again while UCONN snatches down a clean offensive rebound doesn't look good in the film room. Gotta be tougher in crunch time. Huskies were the better team.
Nobody but nobody gave UConn a chance to win this game. For example, all four of ESPN’s women’s college basketball experts predicted a Stanford victory-it’s in print.
I love how Jones “gallops” in taking 3 steps without dribbling and it’s NOT a travel and they actually call a foul on UConn, yet they call these 3 mystery travels on UConn that no one on the planet thought were travels! The refs were so anti-UCONN and pro Stanford the who’re game! UConn had to beat both the refs AND Stanford to win!
UConn made some big mistakes down the stretch and almost gave the game away, good thing their FTs were clutch and saved them. Stanford could've came back and win had their 3s dropped.
Way way to many time outs at end of game,I understand that's why they save them,but I think NCAA, should come up with some rule,like under 1 minute you can only use 1 per team,that last minute of play took 13 minutes to complete, ridiculous
Apparently those same people also thought UCONN should win (or so other commenters believe). How about, it is what it is and that the final score reflects that realty?
An INCREDIBLE mistake made by Stanford's coaching staff in at least three of the few last action. If you say to your girls to press suddenly after a score then you MUST also say to remain on the same guy that is defending on you while attacking! It's absolutely wrong that each girl after a basket made had to loose 2-3-4 seconds to search on the ground the right girl to be pressed arriving with obvious delay. In fact in EVERY action starting from the line, Uconn had always an easy line of first passage free without any pressure on it. Simply ridicolous!
@Marco Goeni I doubt that Tara says anything to her "girls." If she did use the word "girls," the young women on her team would be thinking "who the heck is Coach talking to???"
@@stormyweather9917 ahahaha so your problem is my use of the word "girls"??? Is It in some way unpolite? Because here in Italy we say RAGAZZA = girl and not Giovane donna = Young woman to identify a single female player in a sport! A Player with an age between 19 and 22. So which is the problem? For me they are... simply players and having coached for more than 20 years I look to the tactics, not to their hairs or their make up or their shoes... 🤷♂️
6:49 - in the normal flow of the game with UConn, that should have been an easy layup for Williams.... only she stopped rather than play it out like they normally do. Onus on Williams, not Westbrook. She did not "throw it away".
I have been watching these tournament games with Uconn and I believe they are benefiting big time from the refs. In this game at the end 3:44 definitely wasn’t a charge and was a huge momentum swing. Also 5:07, she clearly walked after the inbounds with a no call from the refs. Ended up turning it over any that led to the big 3. Story line city. UConn vs S.C probably knew it before the tournament even started. Will be a good game though. I’m expecting more of the same from refs though.
If the charge was a bad why’d not one Stanford bench member not even argue it or react like it was a bad call. Commentators thought it was the right call during the slow mo replay. The inbound violation on edwards was a bad call. She never stepped completely out of bounds to even inbound the ball
@@number4534 because of the moment of the game. The women are disciplined in wouldn’t want to get a tech. Regarding the out of bounds play, the person that received the ball was the one in violation not the passer. The commentators even said it after reviewing the replay.
@@number4534 ... thanks for your reality-based comment.... facts are important when replying to those who say absurd things like ''probably knew it before the tournament even started''.... yeah like the lady huskies knew they'd eke out a double o/t vs the wolfpack n' then, with all their turnovers, need to rely on clutch free-throws down the home stretch vs the cardinal.... so much for big-time benefiting...
What I saw was Stanford not really running their offense, instead driving one-on-one into the paint, playground style. They seemed to have some success, but I thought they would play more inside-out to their 3-pt shooters
what you saw was a great UConn defensive not allowing them to dictate the positions. UConn, mostly Paige, was very tough on Hull and she was completely ineffective. That forced Jones to try to take over, but she’s a 13 pt a game scorer, not 25, and shoots a pedestrian 42% and an anemic 27% from 3. She does all her damage around the hoop and off a rebound or a dish from penetrating guard, but that wasn’t working, so she tried to drive herself into the lane work her low post moves. She actually did very well, but perhaps got tired and settled for bunch of jump shots late, which isn’t her strength.
Stanford needs a primary point guard who can handle the ball facilitate and make plays to a high level against a tough defense like UConn. They was really Missing Kiana Williams out there. She helped them a lot last year!💯
So glad UConn won but the turnovers was to many they can't afford that against Boston cuz she plays like a NBA player.n azzi has to be careful with her ball handling.
It took 10 minutes to play the last 17 seconds. I really wish they would do something about that. Maybe take away any unused timeouts at the one minute mark except for 1 for each team. Or only give them like a 10 second timeout.
No it was not a charge. Her feet were not planted. Actually should have been a defensive foul. Contact with body. But I think UConn women's basketball still would have won anyway.
@@jeffreysmith5175 the rule doesn’t say your feet have to be perfectly planted, like a stone statue. You just have to establish defensive position. Poor homers looking for excuses
@@pamagee2011 Lol she stops fully and had no more forward momentum when the defender didn't even have a full defensive position yet. Homer Simpson lives far from Stanford. Stop saying anything to "win" your online arguments.
I live in SC. Both my sister’s and both my daughters went to USC. ITS A SHAME OUR COACH WILL NOT BRING HER TEAM OUT AND STAND FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM !
Azzi’s ft routine is so unique‼️it’s like an in rhythm shot
Reminds me of Snedeker’s putting. Don’t tense up just let it go
11-0 record in champ game and a good SC under DS coaching, gonna be one heck of a battle
Very cool for the women's big dance. Should bring more eyes. Or at very least, giving those that watch, a real matchup. Gunna be a grind.
And we were supposed to get UConn vs SC earlier this season but the game was cancelled. Now the game finally goes down but for the championship. I think SC wins it.

Big free throws for Azzi and Kristen and Aliyah!
The commentators seem to not be aware that Edwards is an above 80% from the line this season. Williams is only 67%. The main problem was too much time passed before the foul.
Edwards shot a shade under 74% this year and is 67.5% for her career, so she’s certainty not automatic
Really incredible. Especially being that she played every game of the season for this squad that saw heavy health scares and injury absences... To play every game and still hit free throw percentages that high, definitely a recipe for a powerful team that experienced troubles, to stay init like this.
Whatever the number, Edwards is the third best free throw shooter on the team, behind Fudd and Westbrook. So I thought the same thing
and then they call the charge a "good call", that charge was an obvious blocking foul, she wasnt set.
@@fartfruit1157 she was very set. When u beat a player to the spot and she runs into you that’s a charge.
this team is resilient.
Free throws, clutch everytime, impressive
I don’t watch much women’s basketball but I did see sc vs uconn in Atlantis earlier this year and I remember saying these two teams will meet in the tourney and here we are I’m expecting another great game

SC is the overall #1 seed in women's tournament. What are you talking about?
The use of the word "girls' seems a bit condescending, don't you think?
Edwards was BIG down the stretch. What an incredible TEAM win for the UConn Women(corrected)! 💪🏾
@Michael Boroski It may come as a shock to you, but those are young WOMEN playing WCBB, and NOT LADIES!!!! (please take note of the letter "W" in WCBB).

Hopefully, UConn can be competitive against South Carolina. There first meeting turned out to be a rout by the Gamecocks with that 4th quarter dismantling of the Huskies.
UCONN tried every which way to give that one away
That pass from the inbound was most impressive of all.

Getting floored off a clean screen and then hitting the deck again while UCONN snatches down a clean offensive rebound doesn't look good in the film room. Gotta be tougher in crunch time.

How was that a charge at 4:13 when her foot was on the illegal charge zone
“Addicted to Buckets “❤️❤️❤️
Looks like some Jr high boys

UCONN was 16-20 from the charity stripe (aka the free throw line).

Everyone on around the horn picked Uconn
@@Struggle_Streaming_With_BK Wish I’d seen that.
@@Struggle_Streaming_With_BK Maybe it was because ESPN is located in Bristol, CT.
I think the key factor will be UCONN somehow containing Aliyah Boston because she's been quite the force during this tournament.
Paige represents the very best of humanity.
The best slow motion under the rim basketball I've ever seen!
Need to do away with timeouts under 2 minutes too, JEESSHHH!!!!
