Survive and advance! And it really was a "survive game". Took a few years off my life - can't imagine what it did to Geno and CD LOL.

Huge game by Paige. Ash Fudd shot really well! Squeaked out the win. That shot by KK was the dagger. Live to play another day!
 
Paige Ash Aaliyah and KK were totally clutch in a rock fight of a game. I like Coach Jack and she has changed the culture of Syracuse. But there was a good deal of cheesy play and that is taught behavior. But Paige & Co rose above it.

Yes, Syracuse is very different. I felt for Daiyesha Fair, her final game. Kid is a warrior

Man, them refs, did everything they could to give Syracuse the game. What a bunch of clowns. And the Syracuse flopps. Never ever seen anything like it. But thanks to uconn fighting spirit. On to Portland.
GO HUSKIES.

I thought they were reasonably tolerable tonight. They basically let them play - the Huskies got away with some holds and bumps
 
That was scary! Great job to survive when they could have folded. Huge game from Paige on both ends of the floor, but it was the shot by KK that sealed it. So proud of them for keeping it together when Nika fouled out. And congrats to Nika on becoming the all time assists leader. This was a tough game that showed how tough this team is. On to Duke!

That was too close for comfort. Syracuse made UConn earn it. Damn Aussies. It seemed every time Syracuse needed a three, they got one.

It's official. KK and Ashlynn are no longer freshmen. Safe to say that three was KK's biggest bucket of her collegiate career.

We are beginning to run out of superlatives to describe Paige. Once Nika fouled out, Paige gave everything to stick with Fair, and that is after expending so much energy carrying the team. Her midrange pull-ups were reminiscent of the NC St classic 2 tourneys ago.

I think I lost count the number of times Aaliyah was slammed to the court. She will feel it tomorrow.

Great game - now I can relax and watch Iowa/West Virginia.

Fantastic game. The maturity of the freshmen really shined brightly.
Paige is tough as hell. What a performance.
Gotta say, the Syracuse women are much harder to hate with Coach Jack in charge.
I’ll always hate the ‘Cuse guys, though. That ain’t changing!
 
Some thoughts:

  • Paige was awesome
  • Shade was also awesome
  • KK came through when we needed the big shot
  • Nika player great D for 35 minutes, then 2 dumb fouls almost cost us the game
  • AE struggled against the length of the zone but fought hard
  • ICE, out of respect, I will just say, we need something from her on O
  • That Aussie on the top of their zone really was a pain (for us)
  • Never would have thought SYR would have 13 3s (only 4 by Fair) and only 10 2's
  • I'm not sure about all of the SYR hate in the chat, I thought they played hard
  • This is what a 3-6 matchup looks like

Oh what a game!! My heart rate was so high, but the goal is to win and move on, and that’s exactly what the Huskies did. I am happy for my team, so now I can get some work done. Nika played excellent defense against Fair, until….., and that gave me nightmares of Hidalgo and ND. But then Paige took over, and the rest is history. Still lots of work to be done in holding on to the ball, but that’s for later. Congrats on winning this section of the NCAAs.
Also, kudos to Syracuse for following their game plan. They surely made the Huskies earn this win.

Gutsy win. When Nika fouled out I was like here we go again. Putting Paige in Fair was a great call. KK with the clutch 3. Ash with the sharp shooting. Paige being extra Paige!

It was UConn against Syracuse and the officials all night. Good guys won.

Ice not great tonight, but it was a big game. She will learn.

What’s that smell? Pew!!! It smells like Dukie! Time to clean it up!
 
A little nerve racking, but a win. Bragging! In what you wanted to see in the Uconn== Cuse game, I wanted Paige to score 30+ points, she scored 32 I wanted Ashlynn to repeat her 26=== she scored 19 points and hold Cuse to 60 points, they scored 64. Mission accomplished. Two down. now bring on Portland and the next win on the way to the Championship. The team was GREAT and did not falter. Paige will be on the wall. GO FRESHMEN!!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!Plus, in the 4th qtr, the refs called 5 fouls on Uconn in 40 seconds. That was ridiculous!!!!
 
32 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, 1 block. Clutch shot, clutch defense, clutch timeout. She is SO good

Shoutout Ashlynn for big time shot making, and shoutout KK for hitting the dagger 3!

Syracuse hit three 3s in the first 90 seconds of the 4th. Then another two 3s in 20 seconds with 3 min left. And still lost by 8

Lets go Huskies!
