I was at the game. The women came out playing terrific defense - missed a ton of threes but otherwise getting baskets as needed. Held duke to 13 first half points and led by 10 at the half....but did not sub a single time until Edwards picked up her third foul midway through the second quarter and Ice Brady subbed her out for a couple minutes. Edwards started the second half and the lead stretched to 20 at one point, but she picked up her fourth and Brady played all the minutes Edwards didn't (about 15). Geno didn't use a single sub and it was clear that they were running on fumes in the final 6 or so minutes when Duke came back. Buekers is Buekers.

Can't see them winning with only 6 players; watched the USC- Baylor game as well and they are good - Juju Watkins is the real deal.

Still Final Four and Elite Eight - basketball capitol of the world.

The E8 game against USC is going to be tough. It's hard to beat an elite team with a roster of 6. They had no legs and were exhausted during the 4th Q of this game.

And yet we're favored (1.5:1) in that game!
 
For the women, this is the "house money" part of their tournament. Proud of them for making it to the E8 with all the setbacks and injuries. I do wonder what could have been with a healthy team, but oh well.

Beating Duke and reaching the elite 8 is a success for this squad and another year of injuries.

Their 5 losses are to teams at the elite 8 level so any further wins beyond Duke would be unexpected gravy.

Not their year or last few years because of injury but Paige is a special player. I want to see her take them as far as they can go. She can't do it by herself.

Defend this comment as anything better than an unforced error.

What conceivable good could issue forth from this self-satisfied sarcasm that runs contrary to what I presume is your rooting interest?

I'm glad it didn't prove out.

If the team plays well on Monday, and makes it to the Final 4, I'll be delighted.

If the team's resources have been so reduced by injury that they cannot compete effectively for the full 40-minute game against USC, I'll be sad for (but fully accepting of) the loss, and still quite grateful for having followed the team's very challenging season.

UConn women are favored over USC? You’re kidding right?

Watched USC a lot this year, if we play our game. We win. But the players looked off tonight and USC rebounds well, and we are limited there but a very evenly matched game.

We have Paige, and they don't :)

It's a different time of year. Madness is not about getting people involved, it's about survive and advance. She's going to will them to win

I hope our guards figure out it's all about them, play defense, take your opponent out of the game. We have to win with Bazz and Boat outside, because we ain't winning the paint

Go Huskies


PS: A three favored over a one is very rare

Upset no not at all, I love watching Paige I really do. But I also watched the game vs Duke and Duke was really bad, I mean awful. Yet just like last game they came back. Honestly if USC is a capable #1 how can they not be favored? Admittedly didn’t see more than highlights of their star but assume they have size and can rebound the ball if they’re #1. Hope it’s right I really do but it’s strange is all.

You were thinking of last year? So, you haven't been following?


I think if UConn has nay chance to get to the Finals, they have to keep on boring teams to death.

You know that literally half the team, 3 of 6 players, is freshmen , right?
