After watching these electrifiying 90 minutes of basketball, I feel the need to write something down. The last couple possessions in the Overtime I got literally water in my eyes. When Paige hit that last three point shot, i was just shaking my head, tears running down. I wondered where that was coming from, because I usually get so emotional only on really sad or just really touching films. And so I realized what I was watching was in fact a narrative, the Paige Bueckers story in the making. By watching that overtime I realized what was happening already throughout the last uconn games, or even the whole time: Paige Bueckers is DESTINED to become great, to become maybe even the best female player of all time in this game of basketball. Yes, I pretty much didn't know anything about women's basketball before, but I really felt that the future is hers, right there in that overtime. It's the same all over again when watching the game of thrones scene where everyone shouted "Missa!" towards Daenerys and I got water in my eyes because in this particular moment I realized that she is destined to become the queen of westeros. Yeah I know, weird take to make (and btw we all remember how HBO fucked up in the last season) but it felt the exact same way for me. A young woman that's destined to be great at what she's doing. And it's great to see that although her journey has just begun, she's already at the right track to greatness from the start. Chapeau Paige Bueckers, as long as you embody the love for the game we all enjoy, nobody will stop you.
Wow, they were all so tight they couldn't hit anything. The defenses were both outstanding which made it even harder. That was a #1 v #2 game for sure.
Paige Buckets had an off night from three, but kept UConn in the game with her mid range jumpers. Even with her threes not falling she found a way to make it happen. Not to mention steals, assists and other great plays. She plays like an experienced senior.
By the time Paige Bueckers is finished at UConn her name will be spoken with the greats who've played in Storres; Taurasi, Bird, Ralph, Rizzoti etc...etc... and the name Bueckers just might end up first on that list. Amazing for a freshman to come in and simply take over the UConn team, she's already stamping her name on this team, again, an amazing thing for a freshman to accomplish.
Would the crowd have helped them not set approx. 528 illegal screens? Love UConn just as much as the next one, but this is an outrageous statement. Barely squeaking by in overtime does not translate to a blowout because people are in the stands.
Is there an angel sitting on Paige's shoulder?? Wow I thought that both defenses kept the other team out of their game plan. Each team can certainly hold their head high after this one. They each played their hearts out.
I thought SC was the most aggressive if they would have had better offense sets and made they free throws even with the turnovers they prolly would have won the game UConn is still young and has a really good rookie honest they could have played a box and 1 on page and focus the rest of the team to score
Watched this game again, and had no different of a perspective coming away from it than the first time live I watched the game as it happened: CT was fouling all game long, with illegal moving screens. The refs called a number of them, but let a large number go un-called. The final 2 shot attempts by Boston at the end of regulation, Edwards was ALL OVER Boston's arms as she was shooting both times. There should have been a call on each of them on Edwards, giving South Carolina a chance to win the game at the free throw line. This game never should have gone to overtime. I think the officiating is starting to slowly come around on all the fouling that Connecticut does to give them advantages in games. In each of the last 4 games, CT was called for far more fouls than South Carolina has been. This used to be unheard of during CT's time at the top of the mountain, even though they deserved being called more often. Perhaps the inept officiating in WCBB is slowly improving. Who knows......
When is Williams going to show up for uconn? I was waiting all year last year, which was supposedly her off year but she’s been just as inconsistent and absent this season... frustrating when she had that first game her freshman year vs notre dame that was incredible, indicating she was going to live up to her potential and she’s just been nowhere near that level in her recent play. I hope for her sake (and the teams) she figures it out quick, and stops hoisting up 3s and goes back to her aggressive driving game.
She and ONO. The team is currently being led by their underclassmen. I also want the latter to extend her versatility; I know she's no Charles, Stewie or Tuck, but there needs to be more to her game.
Geno shouldn’t start Williams. She is a bench 6-7 player at best. Not a starter. She has hurt the team more than most. The one good thing she has improved on is her offensive rebounding. Nelson-Ododa still doesn’t have a clue on how to do that!
I was worried when she missed six threes. But came back with her magic and made it when it mattered. In the last six or seven minutes she took the game away from Gamecocks.
Why are some SC fans complaining about the final possession of regulation? Hasn't SC has been the beneficiary of numerous "in the paint" fouls when their players would bully their way under the basket due to just sheer size/mass difference? This goes back to at least the Alaina Coates years. Before complaining about the refs, review some of Carolina's stats from this game: 25 of 68 feild goals 1 of 9 three pointers 8 of 15 free throws 21 turnovers, and only 7 assists. No one in their right might would expect to win a game like that. Stop blaming the refs as it went both ways.
How could you not be impressed? I don’t think you understand how it works. When a 1and 2 play each other, they don’t seem that good, because they are playing each other. But when they play other “lesser ranked” teams you notice the difference easily between them and others.
Paige, Nika, Aaliyah, and Aubrey are leading this team in EVERYTHING. These are Freshmen's. The three upperclassman *NEEDS* to step up their game game and consistency as the youngins. I've been very disappointed in Westbrook, Williams and ONO. I hope they get it together. The game wasn't pretty (on either sides) but the Huskies got the W, especially with OUR Paige Buckets. 💙
Agreed. Always trying to convince the audience that they're witnessing something great no matter how sloppy the play gets. We're already watching, no need to cheerlead for the women's brand of basketball.
@@d1xar334 It's a matter of degree. FAR less selling of the men's game on their broadcasts, and when play becomes sloppy they will say so because it's part of the story of that particular game. The women's game has come far enough in skill level and audience size that commentators should feel comfortable criticizing poor play.
@@d1xar334 When it comes to games amongst the NCAAW top five, the TV audience is good size and knowledgeable. As a fan it's a turn off to hear unforced errors described (hyped) as good defensive stops. I think it hurts the product longterm.
The moment Nika went out of the game in the 2nd quarter, their plays became unhinged. A shot clock violation the first play without Nika. The rest of the 2nd quarter were all broken plays. Finally, if Nika was in the game, that last heave would have not been possible. She is a pure point guard and a reliable defender. Her impact in the game cannot be measure by statistics. I know nowadays everything is by the number. But with players like Nika, a team might be losing something big if that is always the case. Coach Geno definitely sees this, hence her starting positon.
The team looked tired , lethargic , and Paige was not herself...sick perhaps? Griffin is going hard! But, wining against adversity,shows grit! This team is nr 1 in the country, I'm telling you!
Good lord. I've been to high school games with student announcers that were called much, much better than this. They had to know this was going to be a big draw and these two were the best they could spare? Pox network is the worst. Period. Just awful. And whoever took their money to let them butcher these games should resign.
I love how when Saxton falls hard rebounding [1:00:24], every player on the court pauses, and gives her a “Are you okay?” look before resuming play. Great sportsmanship!
@@msquitad8147 I heard her say it was the basketballs. She said her guards needed to dribble less and pass more. I really didn't see anybody having big trouble with the, but switching balls is a very bad idea.
@@geneticrex how was cooke's shot luck it was a straight swish great shot, Paige shot was a brick but got the luckiest bounce ever. shouldn't have went to OT in the first place Boston was fouled multiple times at the end of regulation with no whistle
@@joesmith9616 That you have to ask that question displays what a waste of time it would be to explain it. Thanks for proving you're ignorance, not just on 50 footers, but a game's worth of calls and non-calls. Saves me a plethora of keystrokes.
Mediocre referees. Too many of them, especially in the women's game. Bad calls both ways. Refs now are so trigger happy on traveling and moving screens.
Aaliyah Boston's basket with 2 minutes 40 seconds remaining in overtime, should not have counted for 2 reasons. First, she shoved Aaliyah Edwards to the ground and should have ben assessed her 5th foul of the game and ejected. Second from one hour 22 minutes and 12 seconds in the video, or with 2 minutes 47 seconds remaining in overtime, Boston was standing in the 3 second violation lane for 6 seconds. She finally took her shot with 2 minutes 41 seconds remaining, a 6 second span which should have been called a 3 second violation. The loose ball had no effect on the violation rule since South Carolina kept possession and NCAA rules do not restart the 3 seconds when there is a loose ball which does not change which team is in possession. Let these young women play ball - ok. Ignore 3 second and 30 second violations and right after Boston's basket which should not have counted, Westbrook was hit when she attempted a 3 point shot which referees let these young women play ball and ignored the obvious foul and 3 free throws.
@@gkoml I thought the same. The refs were horrible. They called phantom fouls then ignored obvious ones. I've seen better refs in high school games. The only positive I can say is that they stunk both ways. As for 3 seconds...SC had enough time to pitch a tent they were camping in the lane so long. Regarding Boston, I too thought it would've been her 5th foul, but as it turned out, it would've only been her 4th because they changed an earlier foul to another player.
That’s bs. They were just being honest. A lot of plays UConn weren’t getting called for! And South Carolina were. UConn were fouling like crazy and only got called for half
Monica McNutt is a terrible commentator, completely biased toward South Carolina. I hope they get someone not so stupid for the future. When Aliyah Boston took a three point shot and said if she made it she would walk out of the stadium it would of been the greatest thing she has ever seen or the reason Paige is so good might be because of home cooking, I had to turn it off it was so condescending. The reason Paige is so good is she works harder than anyone on the floor just ask her coach about that.
The announcer sure are homers... Difficult to watch as a Uconn fan.. I would like at least a neutral position with some more insight on the SC side. The SC guards really slash to the basket well. The SC team also seems to not like any ref call they get against them. Lots of facial and jawing going on.
23:42 - "that was well executed...." of an illegal moving screen. Connecticut's motion offense requires constant illegal moving screens in order to be at its most effective, and they execute such illegal moving screens multiple times in every. Game. They. Play. Every season. And it requires the officiating for collegiate women's basketball to be as inept as it has always been for the sport. And its become such a constant in their games that it seems the officials think its within the rules, so they hardly ever call them. In this "well executed" play, Edwards clearly leans her hip and body to the right to screen Destiny Littleton off of Bueckers, to either open her up for a jump shot, or open a teammates up indirectly as a 2nd Gamecock defender has to give help for Littleton, which creates a mismatch somewhere else. It's not mastercraft offensive scheming at all - it's a reliance on the incompetence in WBB officiating that doesn't exist for MBB officiating, which understands what illegal screens are and calls them far more effectively. And Luigi has ridden that incompetence to eleven national titles......
I was so excited for Tb12 to get his 7 th ring I’m raised in NE live in Atl and sided w. Brady goin to the bucs but I wanted to see this game arguably as much, especially after half time. Ten mins in they look tired shots flat really a lot of nika carrying energy. ...I heard that been 👂ing it all year, “gimmie that sh** “ liv and Westbrook.w. “Get that sh** outta here. Paige and every1 looks real tired first half so far I think this road trip and big game vs Marquette... Paige needs to keep shooting shooters shoot, she thinks she hurts the team when she’s shooting poor but she should be shooting 20/30 shots minimum... im glad she did she took the game on her back 2nd half, a bunch of make up calls refs got way to involved this game just like the SBowl. Getting scrappy, rebounds fouls shot ⏰ small things a whistle every min. that 3 at half coulda been killer till Paige got the shooters touch baby! It’s like their playing with an inflated 🏀 w. A triple rim. How many fouls were called in this game, too many to stop the game UConn scared to guard Boston gave her a few free ones not a foul on the 3attempt? A lot of back cuts griffin playing real well. Not tryin to hate but I had to mute this game cuz announcer sry.
One announcer said Paige shot over 75% 3pters in the last few games and the other one was surprised. they weren't great. The kids were emotionally tight and/or drained. It was a tough game.
paige and nika is gonna be THE duo in the future!! their chemistry and energy match so well!!
Sadly not. Two different teams

The fact that Paige was struggling with 3’s the whole game but got one when they needed it most :’)

One word.....Paige.
“give me that shit” GOODBYEEEE

Thanks for uploading. The DVR did not have the last 2 minutes of OT where Paige closed the game out!

When Aliyah Boston took a three point shot and said if she made it she would walk out of the stadium it would of been the greatest thing she has ever seen or the reason Paige is so good might be because of home cooking, I had to turn it off it was so condescending. The reason Paige is so good is she works harder than anyone on the floor just ask her coach about that.
Paige could play in the nba
Maybe the WNBA
The announcer sure are homers... Difficult to watch as a Uconn fan.. I would like at least a neutral position with some more insight on the SC side. The SC guards really slash to the basket well. The SC team also seems to not like any ref call they get against them. Lots of facial and jawing going on.
1st qtr not D1 basketball. Maybe JV
THANK YOU~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"that was well executed...." of an illegal moving screen. Connecticut's motion offense requires constant illegal moving screens in order to be at its most effective, and they execute such illegal moving screens multiple times in every. Game. They. Play.
Every season.
And it requires the officiating for collegiate women's basketball to be as inept as it has always been for the sport. And its become such a constant in their games that it seems the officials think its within the rules, so they hardly ever call them. In this "well executed" play, Edwards clearly leans her hip and body to the right to screen Destiny Littleton off of Bueckers, to either open her up for a jump shot, or open a teammates up indirectly as a 2nd Gamecock defender has to give help for Littleton, which creates a mismatch somewhere else.
It's not mastercraft offensive scheming at all - it's a reliance on the incompetence in WBB officiating that doesn't exist for MBB officiating, which understands what illegal screens are and calls them far more effectively. And Luigi has ridden that incompetence to eleven national titles......

34:06 Zia's half court shot
thank youuuuuuuu
It was at least 3 fouls on UCONN during those put backs at the end of regulation. Ref decided to swallow the whistle for some reason.
I was so excited for Tb12 to get his 7 th ring I’m raised in NE live in Atl and sided w. Brady goin to the bucs but I wanted to see this game arguably as much, especially after half time.
Ten mins in they look tired shots flat really a lot of nika carrying energy. ...I heard that been 👂ing it all year, “gimmie that sh** “ liv and Westbrook.w. “Get that sh** outta here. Paige and every1 looks real tired first half so far I think this road trip and big game vs Marquette... Paige needs to keep shooting shooters shoot, she thinks she hurts the team when she’s shooting poor but she should be shooting 20/30 shots minimum... im glad she did she took the game on her back 2nd half, a bunch of make up calls refs got way to involved this game just like the SBowl. Getting scrappy, rebounds fouls shot ⏰ small things a whistle every min. that 3 at half coulda been killer till Paige got the shooters touch baby! It’s like their playing with an inflated 🏀 w. A triple rim. How many fouls were called in this game, too many to stop the game UConn scared to guard Boston gave her a few free ones not a foul on the 3attempt? A lot of back cuts griffin playing real well. Not tryin to hate but I had to mute this game cuz announcer sry.
One announcer said Paige shot over 75% 3pters in the last few games and the other one was surprised. they weren't great. The kids were emotionally tight and/or drained. It was a tough game.
Yayyyy😄
