- After the UConn Women's Basketball team beat Baylor in the Elite 8, Geno Auriemma and Paige Bueckers spoke to the media.
With the 69-67 win, the Huskies advanced to their 13th straight Final Four!
This is the first time in a while that I’ve been so into the Women’s March Madness!! I stumbled on a video of Paige in HS and became an instant fan. She is what this game needs. GO UCONN, GO PAIGE!!!
She is what the game needs? God God the game was here before her and after.... Love to see her get hurt
She is a great player who will only get better. I’m a Baylor fan.
@@rv7309 First off you're a terrible person for saying that last part. Secondly Paige has brought a lot of extra attention to the women's game and that is 100% what they need if they want to make the WNBA a profitable business where players can make a lot of money.
@@cobra7282 lol.... she wants to show up people... Meet elbow
@Anthony Tomassi taken the game by storm?? Ahhh..... The WNBA was a established because the game finally drew interest. As for Kobe, what did he do promoting the game? Imagine if Paige tears her ACL... She will take hospital room by storm, lol
Can't say it enough Paige is the truth. She is the total package and some. I've been watching women's basketball for years on and off because my daughter's played and I never seen a freshman as seasoned as her. Seriously when her playing career is over I see her being a great coach as well. Already well spoken.
can’t wait for azzi to come join us next year
and Caroline and Amari. Ducharme just beat out Fudd as the AMFAM Girls’ 3-Point Champ winner. Huskies outside shooting next season is going to be scary good!
@@rgrey many more national championships to come
I agree this should've been a final four game AT LEAST! This will go down as the best game of the tournament
How do you know this will be the best game of the tournament??? There are still more games to play...I agree with you though lmao
No doubt. They should have been in separate brackets.
Paige knowledge on basketball is way beyond her years.....she can answer questions thrown at her in a simplest way and yet she is just a freshman leading the team....and she doesn't take the credit for her own...its all about team works what she always say
This game builds your character as a team and as human beings! You made us all proud! Job's not over! Keep the Faith!
The officiating was consistent.
Baylor you did all you could to beat down Paige and Aaliyah, the two UConn freshmen. Baylor all your rough play didnt break them. Baylor complained about a non call, but that happens in almost all sports. Baylor why didnt you complain about your constant fouling?
Had Paige and Aaliyah been sophomores, this game wouldnt have been close.
God bless that young lady!
Congratulations to Lady Huskies!
Tough battle for win in a comeback.
Bless you Paige Bueckers on where your true talent comes from!
Good job 💪🏿
Now let's go get this trophy 🏆 💪🏿
let us get THIS TROPHY AND GO BUDDY HI OK thanks FRANK!
Paige 💕
Tough game. Congrats to both deserving programs. Love the Uconn team in particular. But all the God stuff... geez. Unfortunate it keeps being repeated. Wasn’t aware she was a UConn fan...
If you don't believe in God, that's fine. But don't "geez" those who do. Some day when you're on the national stage talking about what inspired you to be the success you are, you can proudly say, "God had absolutely nothing to do with where I am today. I take all credit for myself."
Chick Hearn would say Uconn is the Boston Celtics of Women basketball no referee going to call that a foul on the last possession. Baylor needed a girl to do a Kobe Bryan fall away to win?
Who started crying cuz they were so stressed in the final few minutes in the game...
Well, whenever you are put in a situation where the stress for you is extremely intense, please remember your comment here. Make sure you never shed a tear unless you are willing to consider yourself a failure for doing so.
Yes there are many missed calls during any game. However, a missed call during the last two minutes is more important and considered so by the NCAA’s own rules that make special review rules for the final two minutes of a game. The refs goofed, it does happen, it was not done on purpose but Baylor is justified in being upset by the missed call. U Con should count their lucky stars. Both teams played a great game.
@Anthony Tomassi in know what the last two.minutw reviews are for.my point is missing any call in the last two minutes is a bigger deal, more critical. That is why they review some calls during the last two.minites that they don't during the rest of the game. This points to getting things right in the last two.minites is of a higher importance than the rest of the game.othwrqise why have different reviews during that time? Cause it is more important! The refs blew a major call in the last two.minutes. Baylor has a reason to be pissed...but also that is the way it goes. Go Wildcats!
@Anthony Tomassi I played for u of AZ 50 yrs ago, a whole different time 🏀
@Anthony Tomassi well AZ did quite well😉
The end result of this game was not on UConn or Baylor. It falls squarely on the shoulders of those Referees. Great game Uconn and my Baylor Bears. I hope you win it all.
Paige have a plan p...if her teammate use to it..they will unstopable..
James is such a whiner.
Baylor mugged and bodied Uconn players the whole game and the refs let them play. Quit whining over one play. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Man up.
Baylor was tough. 4 Seniors, 4 Juniors, 3 Sophomores, 2 Freshmen versus 7 Freshmen, 2 Sophomores, and 3 Juniors.
Of course, you hate to see a player get hurt, (or maybe you don't) but when Didi got that muscle pull/spasm I was like, oh wow, that's a gift from God right there. But, honestly, the whole team shouldn't fall apart just because one player gets hurt.
@Katrina Steinmetz Of course He didn't cause it. I was hoping that people would understand that I meant that the OPPORTUNITY was a gift from God. Also, maybe it was a teachable moment for Baylor. MAYBE, they needed to be shown that they shouldn't be so dependent on one player. MAYBE their opponent shouldn't be able to score 19 points on them just because this one player is out of the game.
@Katrina Steinmetz Imaginary ghosts in the sky don't control people
Glad refs let them play on last play. Was 50/50. Also, baylor mugged the absolute shit out of UCONN all game, so let em play
What! What game were you watching. In the second half it got to a 7 or 8 to 1 call ratio in favor of Uconn, then the latter half of the 4 quarter more call went against Uconn. You need to watch the replay of the game and be honest with your self.
Giving God the glory! Good to see with elite athletes!
Geno is one class act....I respect him and UCONN in everything they do - great interview
That was cool that Paige gave glory to God...she does have a lot of spirit and the unity of her with her teammates is more understandable now for me. May God continue to bless you and the team and give you inspiration.
She is sweet. Nice to see her sharing her faith.
God has nothing to do with it. It's annoying to hear players (and other celebrities) say that. Did god have money on UConn instead of Baylor or something? Maybe Paige should have went to Notre Dame. They would appreciate that dedication to god. Instead she goes to a school in the least religious part of the country.
@@jdanon203 funny how u get mad when she speaks in light of God, yet you have no problem speaking against him. It is very easy to ignore other’s beliefs if you do not agree A-Roid.
@@jdanon203 She didn't say "God preferred us over them" she said that God walked her through the struggles of the past year.
@@jdanon203 you’re not understanding it properly. You should investigate further from religious scholars why athletes say what they do pertaining to God. God Bless
@@jdanon203 not sure why it bothers you when her beliefs don't affect you
Love this lady, no attitude or extraneous agenda, just the perfectly, attuned athlete.
Yeah, except how ‘god’ is responsible for all her success, not her busting her ass for 13 years. Get these American kids some culture and understanding.
@@marilynbenn2083 Meh. I do agree that it is their own hard work that got them there. I also think that by giving the credit to god they are taking pressure off of themselves and it can also help keep them from getting big headed because they are deflecting the credit that they are receiving instead of taking it all in and feeding their ego.
@@marilynbenn2083 I'm sure that with all of your non-American "culture and understanding" you had as much success as Paige has had as a 19 year old. And I didn't hear her say that 'god' was responsible for all of her success. She knows damn well how hard she worked, but she was talking about opportunities and things individuals don't have control over. Sometimes we all need a little help with those things we can't directly control. I don't expect you to understand - it's an American thing. But you might just give it a try sometime.
Baylor’s coach should have called a TO early during UConn’s 19-0 run. Instead, she let their rally play out and blew their ten point lead, a big mistake that her team could not overcome. Baylor should have won, but since I’m a UConn fan since the Lobo years, I’m glad they prevailed, thanks to PB’s scoring streak. If UConn goes on to win the Championship, they may start a streak there, too, considering next year’s incoming recruits.
Fellow Lobo fan since I was aware of women’s bball in ‘95 run undefeated. #50 forever - it’s a joy to hear her commentating.
@Anthony Tomassi Sounds like a potential rivalry being set up in the vein of Pat Summit’s Tennessee teams with UConn. Just saw what SC did to Texas which was frightening. Held them scoreless for the entire 4th quarter?! I’ve watched Coach Staley since her playing days and her team plays like she did. Intense and 100%. Can’t wait for the Women’s Final Four!
Uconn played their best game against Baylor. Everything good that UConn did against Baylor didn't go so good against AZ. I noticed that right away when their shots weren't dropping and a lot of simple turnovers and lost rebounds. AZ were the dogs in that game.
Go Sunil great question to Paige, “Talk about team Balance Scoring”
The talent level at these two schools is amazing.Hard to believe that Uconn will not lose one player to graduation.This was a game that was a shame that someone had to lose.Wish it was a game for the National Championship.A great game led by two great coaches.
Evina is able to declare for the draft
@Anthony Tomassi
Couldn't agree with you more about the greatness of Stanford. Plus they are led by a Hall Of Fame coach.
@@krown_royelle9645 Yes, and she decided to stay.
As an opponent, don't get her ticked off....she will punish you.
This young lady has a lot of class talking about faith now days people look down on Christians keep up your good work
Over 75% of Americans are Christians so the vast majority of people in this country don't "look down on Christians". The left, through the mainstream media, entertainment industry & public education are working to create this perception by spewing relentless anti Christian propaganda.
🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️🥺🥺🤩🤩🏀🏀🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾
Congratulations UCONN Ladies!!! It was a great game between two heavy weights. In my opinion and observation - the two freshman's lead the team with out question. Olivia, Christian and Evina who are the upper classmen - they hesitated to lead the team and make the big plays. They did not embrace the presser , they made very silly mistakes - like if they were the freshman's. Plenty of success in the Final Four match!!!!
Those three can not carry the team to a championship without the two freshmens. They do have the it factor. - they hesitate and make silly mistakes. Take the lead when it is your moment. Christy missed 3 free throws - c’mon man she is a junior - Lead period.
In closing as an upper classmen you must Lead and take command of the game. You must Lead, it Is not about being perfect.
Didi limited Paige a lot -- only what? 28 pts? Great game, even with the mistakes.
Are we getting a little sensitive Anthony?
Take a deep breath and relax. I am big UCONN fan. That was observation and hopefully those three will do an amazing job against Arizona.
I always amazed how well spoken and humble she was
The refs missing the foul call gave the game to Uconn. Baylor could have won the game if the refs were doing their job
Baylor could have won the game if they didn't let UConn go on a 19 - 0 run. And don't ignore all the fouls that Baylor got away with. Good for the goose, good for the gander.
He’s such a liar. He saw it
You're a fool the officials standing right there didn't see it...LOL
You be honest. You quit being a liar, Cryan' Bryan. You're a sniveling baby. Baylor mugged and bodied Uconn players the whole game and the refs let them play. How come no blathering from you about all those body-checks, holding penalties and tomahawk chops! Quit whining over one play. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Man up. Take the loss like a man not a momma's boy.
Geno was on the other side of the court, and two players were right in front of her blocking his view. More likely to lie was the Baylor coach whose view was directly blocked by the two Uconn defenders and also being on the other side of the basket from her. Carrington did a big overacting job, which I think hurt her case. In any event, I wouldn't expect a coach going into the final four to criticize the refs - it's not going to help.
@@anthonyyusef5897 uconn got hacked all game fool!
How do you know??? Where you there?
