CONGRATULATIONS on Aliyah keeping her composure after being pushed around and bullied by Morrow. UCONN players are great at sportsmanship and never intentionally try to physically harm other players. A class act throughout the years in sportsmanship!
At tip-off; Nika didn't cry about getting bumped, did some bumping of her own, blocks the girl's shot, keeps the ball inbounds to Dorka, and away they go. Typifies the never-give-up, keep-on-rolling attitude of this team.
Griffin is a Harlem Globe Trotter. What an athlete! And to think she had to walk with a cane last year. So bad she couldn't even travel with the team. Super kudos to her.
I liked watching her play defense at the guard position. She has the quickness and jumping to really intimidate offensive guards. Then she would play Morrow and match up okay physically. That's amazing versatility, just like Aaliyah and Dorka show.
@@markhathaway9456 I had a feeling she would overcome that freshman curse (that Geno often refers to) at some point...hope she's found herself. I have said she reminds me of Tooly (Batouly) under the basket/tall enough and strong enough to make a difference, and possibly get Dorka & Aaliyah some help and rest when needed. Hope so!!
***Also read an article a couple of days ago where she said she's blind in her right eye...first I heard of it!! (Why she wears those special glasses.)
As Always Thank You for the Replay!!! I know Aaliyah, Dorka, Lou, Aubrey, all benefit from Nika's role as passer but not to score and then almost have Double Double on the other stats is a WooooooW factor!!!!
Great game! Cant complain at all. The bench did great and Aaliyah proved that she cant only dominate versus weaker opposition in the paint but also against very strong players.
Morrow is a load but Uconn bigs whooped her ass today. Which I honestly expected. Aaliyah played great on both sides. Lou hot from 3. Griffin with great hustle. I'm gonna give Patterson credit for great effort today.
Watching the game to see Defense in particular, I loved that it was a challenge and UConn rarely got beat. There were some random open 3s or one baseline backdoor, but no patterns of a recurring problem. Great defense and teamwork.
Starting at 17:00/1:29:29, we see Edwards, Juhas, and Griffith do the "bunny hop". In other words, UConn's bigs are taking turns going into the low post to exploit their height advantage. It worked two times out of three. Griffith blew a chance at a bunny. Moreover, UConn's Edwards took an elbow-jumper inside of the foul line. Hear this: this strategy is unstoppable because LouLou can exploit any opportunity this "bunnies taking bunnies" offense creates. UConn has a height advantage on most other D1 schools. The fact is that if Sweet Caroline is in the lineup with Edwards, Juhas, Griffin, & Senechal, each of the UConn players can take turns posting up & scoring with high percentage shots that could bring a free throw with the points. The truth is that Niki Muehl, UConn's Energizer Bunny, could master this technique. Geno will look like a genius if his "board-banging bunnies" make the final four with their "rotating bunny hop".
Thanks again MJL! I Love this team! A bunch of fighters for sure. Aaliyah did an outstanding job shutting down Morrow! I hope she does the same to Boston on February 5th! Go Huskies!
she thought Morrow tripped her and she was HEATED...LOL....My two favorite parts of the game were that and Dorkas huge block in front of the student section..
Thanks again MJL243.... I have been saying since before the season started that this would be Aaliyah's breakout year...no real reason...just a feeling I had. Man....was I more than happy to see what she has done this year!! She's playing at another level...and couldn't be happier for her !!!!
The difference between this game and our first game against DePaul last season is night and day. Nowhere near as dramatic and I'm not gonna complain about it. Now one bad thing that has carried over is Ms. Morrow and her habit of flopping like a fish. Even Allen acknowledged it the first time it happened. I really wish the NCAA would call flopping techs on the women's side like they do the men's because she would be forced to clean up her pathetic act real quick.
I also got a laugh when Morrow and another DePaul player flopped to the floor and appeared to be seriously injured. And then just like magic, both got up and ran down the floor.
As I was watching the game, I had forgotten about that seeing Morrow last year...lots of flopping (must be a LeBron fan). The other thing I noticed was their guard Rogers, she does the Chauncey Billups move on her jump shots, she kicks her legs out in order to try to draw a foul.
No Temari Key. They're going to get ate up inside. Jordan Horston might get 15 but that's all I expect. Tennessee dropped off this year even when they had Key.
mjl243, thank you so much for uploading the full games, I do not get to see them live, so the only was I can see them is by the replays of the full games that you upload, again thank you so much, could you upload the saint johns full game, thanks
Ok, all performed! We had the size and height… again! Happy for Patterson, Amari, and Betancourt! The new tall young lady from Egypt, does anyone have some info on her!?
It was fast-paced with lots of contact and keeping composure was certainly a big thing. It's hard to point to just one or two things as especially good or bad. The team started a bit rough, but got in synch along the way and really zoomed. When I saw Paige start dancing a little I knew she thought things were going well. Now do all these foreign kids know how to dance too? Aaliyah and Dorka were terrific. Lou was giving it everything she had, but passing to and from her was a little rough. Nika was good except not shooting much. Aubrey had trouble finding her groove, but finally did well. She has to watch out when she's surrounded and get rid of the ball to avoid a tie-up. Amari and Ayanna did very well. I'll bet Ms. Morrow hadn't played against someone who could block her like Amari did. Thank goodness nobody was seriously hurt. I saw so many new and interesting plays. That and the speed of plays made it a challenge to keep up with what was happening. This may have been the most exciting game of the year so far. Of course, DePaul had young players and couldn't keep up, but they tried.
Bettencourt should play more if their opponent was not strong enough, so Mika would gain more time to rest in order to face further games in the future. On the other hand, Bettencourt could train up herself if she could play more.
I see you congratulating Aliyah Edwards for maintaining her composure. Shouldn't it be the other way around. Edwards was the more physically dominate player. It was clear Morrow COULDN'T out muscle her, so If anyone was going to get frustrated...my guess it would have been Morrow.
I think the subs played well. But I don’t think they are at the level of the other five. So; it will be important that none of our starters get in foul trouble against Tennessee and South Carolina.
Not sure what you mean; DePaul called for 17 personal fouls; UConn called for 12 - that's pretty close. The problem for DePaul was that they were fouling shooters.
Morrow is just one of dem hood girls throwing her weight around but she ran into Edwards tonite who showed real toughness, not that chickenshit crap Morrow does. Also love the latina fire from Lou when she said FU after getting tripped. Oh and that Dorka rejection and nod to student section...just gold!

Just made me think of that 2016/2017 clip where Geno's talking about body language.
Other teams have to beat UConn up because that’s the only way they can stop them. And the refs don’t call it 😢
Great matchup between Aalylah and Morrow, Dorka slaps one into the students section, Lou Lopez dishes some dimes! What a great game!! Thanks MJL!
Gotta love Geno, "Most difficult shot to make in Gampel Pavilion --- is a lay-up, especially for the team wearing white."
Gotta kill those bunnies or they'll come back to haunt you later.

As always thank you for the game MJL. You're amazing!!! 😎
i was literally sitting here refreshing the page 😅
me too 🤭
+1! 🥰
Like every 5 minutes
Not positive but take the game's start time and add 5 hours.
A. Patterson contributed a lot in this game.

@@markhathaway9456 Yeah , she gave Uconn's defense a great help, so her teammates could protect the pink area effectively.

Edwards was FOCUSED and she knew the task and hand, and executed it. Such a great game!
MJL, I hope someone is rewarding you for all these great games!!
As always, much thanks for the posting of this and future games as well!!
Thank you so much for posting this game!
High Low between Edwards and Juhasz, interchangeable -- as that tandem continues to develop, going to be pretty tough come March.

Thanks MJL
Thanks, MJL!
lou saying fu to depaul player has me rolling 30:23
why did i not see that till now 😂
she maybe from france but still has some latin fire looking at 32:20 though i'm sure it is a mis-understanding
I saw that while watching the video. My thought was that whatever Lou said, she had to follow it up by saying; "Pardon my French."
fou
she thought Morrow tripped her and she was HEATED...LOL....My two favorite parts of the game were that and Dorkas huge block in front of the student section..
what a fun game mjl! Thanks so much.

Fantastic job again MJL243!!!
There really is a reason why the Uconn coaching staff didn’t bother recruiting the likes of Clark and Morrow; and it shows why 😅

Good win. I think DePaul looked pretty lousy though.
I am excited to see how UConn matches up with a real team in Knoxville.
Me too, however Tenn is not in the top 25
@@jeromedanielson4422 Yep, Tennessee is pretty terrible this year.
No Temari Key. They're going to get ate up inside. Jordan Horston might get 15 but that's all I expect. Tennessee dropped off this year even when they had Key.

SALUDOS DESDE VENEZUELA
1:15:43 Nika’s aye she didn’t push her was so cute
Ok, all performed! We had the size and height… again!
Happy for Patterson, Amari, and Betancourt!
The new tall young lady from Egypt, does anyone have some info on her!?
She is listed as being 6'4 and is on the team but not expected to play this season. So she can practice and travel with the team.
As much as I like Bettencourt, it's hard to see sticking around. Hope she does.
bless up!!!

Very annoying broadcast in one vital particular: What the heck is the score. You see it, then you don't for minutes at a time. Sloppy.

Look at the face baby croods make after the pass go Nika
Release the baby
idk doesnt feel right that the refs were pretty one sided
