HEAR FROM THE UTES
Lynne Roberts, Head Coach
Opening Statement…
"Incredibly proud of our team. What a tremendous win. We controlled it from start to finish. USC made their runs but we pushed back. Defensively we were really good. Dasia Young and Maty Wilke did a tremendous job on [JuJu] Watkins. She's a tough guard. It was an overall great team win. We talked this week that we weren't going to settle for anything but winning. We were going to go out and play as hard as we could." - Спорт
Pili dropped 37 on #1 South Carolina and Dropped 37 on #6 USC splitting the games 1-1. She got my vote for National POY
Agreed she is a Beast!
Pili just put her name in the POY conversation.
Pili is just great. Watkins needs more support
It's obvious that USC should've never let Pili go
She was at USC?
@@misterceo2168 Yup She Was A Beast at USC and Was Pac12 Freshman of Year.
Pili would not have done much for USC. She was toast there and needed out. She had one good year at USC
Pili will need the team to play like this in March to go all the way.
Pilli is so damn good
Watkins was balling first half , peely went off!
* P I L I
I’m an LSU fan so this is why I laugh when they keep talking about LSU vs. SC…these are two of the teams that we DO NOT wanna see in the tournament😢. The ladies are hooping, hoopin. It’s gonna get nasty in March and I’m here for it😅😅😅
Fulwiley not worried about them. 😴
I wanted Pili to hit 40 so bad. Bummer
Pili reminds me so much of jokic
Getting Palmer back is big
I am iowa fan but utah got my attention. I will say young 3 point shots impressed me.
Young turnover prone, terrible free throw shooter but still helps her team
Lots of upsets this week
Jenna Johnson needs to run a clinic for these offensive fouls. I don’t think there has been one game where she hasn’t taken a charge at least once.
That's the part of the game that's getting on my nerves. The game when Missouri beat Vanderbilt, Vandy was leading in control and Mizz was making their come back. Flopping ass Frank was defending the ball handler. The Vandy player took one dribble but didn't move towards the basket with much force at all. Her elbow may have grazed Frank, like barley made contact. Frank go into her Hollywood dramatics, she fell in slow motion and every thing. Refs call a charge, smh... I think it took some momentum out of Vanderbilt. A questionable charge/block should go to the offense every time. This bailing folk out of playing defense shouldn't be rewarded.
The best defenders never flop, let's not respect these floppers..
14:01 min coming up the court. just a sample.. when did they change the carry rules? ? that was carry all day when i played.
pili on the top!
Pili is so good, if they don’t put pieces around her next year she should enter the portal and try to shoot for a championship
This is her final year.
@@jackmatheson4671 I thought she was a junior this whole time, she definitely has a good draft stock though.
It sounds like she’s saying awful waffle😂
