The freshman, if they were paying attention, got a clinic in how to PLAY basketball from Bueckers in this game. Defense. Passing. etc. Young players are often in a great rush to get things going; Bueckers has amazing internal emotional control. Bueckers also is a great demonstration of how to transfer the energy of a drive to the basket, to upward energy, then a soft touch of the glass and in; so many lay ups are missed by not understanding this transfer of energy, Paige is amazing
Paige and Aaliyah together on the court is an amazing duo.. then Nika defense makes it even better and adding Ashlyn’s amazing 3 pointers is the cherry on top. UConn has some BALLERS on their team. Wish Azzi was on the court
To quote the Beatles, it's getting better every day. Of course, this game wasn't perfect, but there were quite a few bits that showed great team chemistry, particularly on defense -- which Geno really loves. Q seems to be having some trouble coordinating with the other players, and Ashlynn did on a couple of plays. Aaliyah's freethrows are too fast. She needs to slow down a bit. K.K. got stuck in the lane a time or two. The UNC C Gottdeng is very good defending near the basket. Aaliyah's offense is suffering when she goes against a good defensive C. The 4 G offense seems to have merit. Paige really set the tempo for the team, and it was fantastic to see. Nika seems to be fitting into this weird 4G offense and is shooting well. Loved seeing that. UNC banged everybody around, and the stupid refs couldn't do their job. Maybe they'll get in gear as the season goes on. K.K. obviously needs to develop a 3. Aubrey was sort of hit & miss. She rebounded ferociously, but didn't shoot so well. I guess that's just part of this team concept. So, overall, some improvement, nobody got hurt that I know of (is Ice okay?), and the concept is gelling fairly well.
Lol she does stay arguing with them lol, but I’m pretty sure she said something along the lines of “you got the charge?” She was trying to get an offensive foul from the person trying to get to the basket, but didn’t.
Thanks for this. If Q3 is what UConn will be in Marchm get ready. (It begins at 41:30) UConn has more than twenty games fefore the tournaments. their core four are solid and the four Freshmen have time to become integral to the team.
@@lilikaramirez1848 - By definition fans, short for fanatic, are delusional; however, I kade no predictions of their winning, only that if - if - the Freshmen progress UConn could be a team to reckon with. Stay tuned.
She is obviously panicking any time she is in, when her head cools down she is going to be great contributor to this team. Ice really doesn't fit her as her first name at the moment lol
Given the mobiity and quickness, a lot of shots in the paint (short jumpers or layups) were missed. I think the speed is throwing off those shots some. I liked Nika's drive to the baseline jumper. Too bad it missed. It's a nice shot to have if you can't get past the defender.
I can imagine her watching that over and over on slo-mo and telling everybody around, "See where I was. I had position." Her game is so high-level, the refs have trouble keeping up.
@@elizabethxiao7149 I understand they are both having injury issues with Fudd out for the season but last year both Brady and Bueckers had year ending injuries but never missed a game sitting on the bench supporting their team mates. Just wondering why Fudd and DuCharme are not doing the same!
@@sunstate5688Azzi had surgery just a week ago so she’s still early in recovery. her family mentioned that she wasn’t going to be at games bc they don’t want her to be a distraction. I also think I’ve read that Caroline isn’t traveling
Why are the refs missing so many plays, moving picks and NC doesn't get position and balls tip out by NC and the ref. need help even thou it happen right in front of there eyes. WE NEED BETTER FROM THE REFS.
Paige maybe taking it a lil personal she’s not projected 1 also she’s only getting better all around better player but Clark a better scorer paige shoots more she can drop those numbers hard to pick but Paige will stay she makes prolly just as much at UConn Im sorry but best 5 is Paige Edward’s kk shade & griffin if not shade, ice nikabacking up Paige & Samuels has to play second run
This team still doesnt look very confident and promissing. I think the last games took their toll and especially the start of the game seemed cumbersome. Paige seems to try to push the whole team more, looks like she really has to take the team on her shoulders every game and it seems to me like she has to carry the team even harder every game to come.
It's funny to hear the UNC coach, in her interviews, say, "We're pretty beat up." I wonder if anybody is calling her a whiner? UConn is missing Fudd, Ducharme, El Alfi, and Patterson; if Coach A even mentions them, he is immediately lambasted as the biggest crybaby on the planet. Funny.
@@Katigirl23 You said it right, for sure; yeah, really amazing how UConn simply says what is real, and then says, "We'll work around it." Other teams give, "We're beat up." as a reason they lost. UConn was pretty beat up last year and won 31 games
UCONN can with with the short lineup if Nikki, Ashley, Cadence, and KK are hitting their 15-ft-jumpers. Kaitlin Chen & St. Rose lit up Rutgers with those mid-range j's. If Nikki & her pre-school crowd can hit those elbow-jumpers, then Paige & Edwards can run wild. Oh, if Nikki keeps making those free-throw range jumpers, she'll play in the NBA. Similarly, if Griffith calms down & gets her short-range Zen back, she'll play in the NBA. If she's too amped up to hit a free-throw range jumper, she'll end up cleaning motel rooms in Florida for a living. Good on Nikki for her shooting & passing & on Griffith for her steals & drives.
UCONN women need to watch the UCONN Men constant movement offense! UCONN Women lack the height and consistent shooting outside so far makes playing a half court offense dfficult if they don't move! They need to press, run, and when in the half court move constantly thru the lane! They're best 7 players right now include 4 first year players because of injuries! If Caroline and Ayanna can return healthy, they will be strong for the March tournament!
Man oh man, can anybody tell me why people think Aliyah Edwards is any good? UNC lost because of poor offense. If Paige has a bad night, most of the time, UCONN will lose. Paige basically kept UCONN in the game. At one point, UNC was 2-9 from three point range. If these teams can improve their offense, UCONN will lose more than the 3 times they’ve lost already. Paige needs help. Point blank period. ❤
In general Aaliyah is good all around player... I feel like she is extremely clumsy and poorly coordinated, thats why she has so many ups and downs. Her mid range game is great, she has great poise under the basket.. I am just always scared she is going to injure someone on her own team cause she has zero court awarness.
I think we underestimate the impact of Dorka Juhasz. Juhasz did just enough to open the lane for Edwards last year. Personally, I think Edwards is trying to figure out how to play without Dorka.
same. she tall but shes always on the ground. Uconn is overall weak on shooting and sometimes the post player must stand out for its team. shes just weak against those at the same height. like you can tell from game aginst south carolina.
When Paige plays like this, there's nothing more fun to watch.
The freshman, if they were paying attention, got a clinic in how to PLAY basketball from Bueckers in this game. Defense. Passing. etc. Young players are often in a great rush to get things going; Bueckers has amazing internal emotional control.

KK Anorld handled business. Keeping their top scoring senior at that offense wasn’t bad. ✅
Agree... But she has to stop flopping on every damn contact on defense, refs gonna start ignoring her real soon if this continues
@@Bambo1130 The UNC guard kept trying to bully her way to the basket. I liked what KK and Aubrey and Paige were doing on D.
@@Bambo1130she didn’t flop at all. Deja always pushes off because she has a weak handle that gets exposed when a tough defender is on her
I felt Paige on that one play after she got her block. “Aaliyah!🤷🏻♂️”
Paige and Aaliyah together on the court is an amazing duo.. then Nika defense makes it even better and adding Ashlyn’s amazing 3 pointers is the cherry on top. UConn has some BALLERS on their team. Wish Azzi was on the court
I was there for all 3 games what a great day
I'm totally jealous.
The girl wearing the 5 jersey is an actual black woman and her skin is so shiny and smooth.
As always, thank you for providing the UConn games. You’re the best!
Mjl is the most consistent player for uconn!! Thanks so much.
Thanks MJL243! You rock! All I can say is thank God we have Paige on this team this year! Last year it was Lou!
Thanks MJL for the game....just got home from work, checked CZcams, and as always you make my day !!!! A blessed week to us all!! Go Huskies!!
Thank you MJL243!!! As always, much appreciated.

Awesome MJL, thanks!
I Watched Game Live,i Watched Here Twice, Thank you MJL243! Great Victory, Let's Go Huskies!!!🏀🏀👍👍😎,Paige Amazing Game and 1000 Points Today,so Great
Thanks for the game MJL. We appreciate it bro. 😎
Respect Paige 💪🥰
Thank you so much MJL243.
Thanks MJ always healthy❤

Thank you🙏
Love this channel😍😍🙌🏾(new subscriber btw)
As always......thanks MJL243!!
The way Aaliyah wears her hair in purple and yellow for Kobe Bryant’s team colors is amazing. 😢
we’re starting to look better but that last five minutes was terrible! you’re better off running down the clock under 2, not 5. Thank you MJ!
REFEREES NEED TO DO BETTER IF EVERY TEAM UCONN PLAYS TRIES TO BE PHYSICAL THAT THEY MUST CALL FOULS AGAINST THOSE TEAMS.
Ice not getting involved at all is worrisome.
Yeah it hasn't been good for her.
She is obviously panicking any time she is in, when her head cools down she is going to be great contributor to this team. Ice really doesn't fit her as her first name at the moment lol
she only played 3 minutes…
She needs to get in the gym for her to be the #5 recruit in her class she’s been very disappointing this year
Thanks MJL
Nika Muhl cooking with those 3s
Given the mobiity and quickness, a lot of shots in the paint (short jumpers or layups) were missed. I think the speed is throwing off those shots some. I liked Nika's drive to the baseline jumper. Too bad it missed. It's a nice shot to have if you can't get past the defender.
The foul on KK Arnold at 35:00 most def should’ve been an offensive foul on Deja Kelly cuz ain’t no way
WOW REFS WERE TRASH
Ain't that the truth. They got the possession wrong 3 times in a row during the first half.
The refs always let other teams beat up UConn… it’s not fair.
Hey mjl,i want you to know i never skips ads as a thank you to you😂
🐐
Nika is standing on business with them 3 shots!
Kk stood on business 😂🔥
Thanks MJL. It seems since Edwards took the shot to the nose, she's in space. Her head is not in the game. At least this first half.
42:20 that was funny when kk Arnold’s fell the Ash went to help her up
Has this channel gone inactive?
I miss Dorka. But UCONN is obviously a team to beat.
When Paige didn't get the charge call in the third I loved the little head shake that went on and on. The injustice of it!
I can imagine her watching that over and over on slo-mo and telling everybody around, "See where I was. I had position." Her game is so high-level, the refs have trouble keeping up.
Where’s MJL243? Nothing for last two games.☹️
Does anyone know why Fudd and Ducharme aren’t at these games?
fudds out for the season w acl, ducharme is having head/neck problems and could be out for extended time, timeline unclear but not looking good

THE REFEREE NEED TO OPEN THERE EYES NC STATE KEEP PUSHING OFF WHEN THEY DRIVE TO THE BASKET WHY DO THEY LET THEM GET AWAY WITH OUT A CALL.
👍👍👍👍👍MJL243
Three steps without dribbling is no longer a traveling violation?
Please i want iowa vs Wisconsin
Hey, 😂😂😂😂😂
