DA's full of shit!!!
She's wanting a player to be able to pivot and says that she has to have room to do that. If they defense does that, every player would have a, at least 3' circle around her, that they defense can't go into.
She is so full of shit!!!!

She was on Aaliyah’s space
I haven’t seen JuJu much, but the comparison to Moore is odd. Her handles are so much better than Moore and she goes to the basket much better. I’m not sure who she reminds me of in the women’s game, but it’s not Moore 😂

| This is not that important, but why does Mowins keep referring to NC State as a Cinderella? They’re a three seed. Is UConn also a Cinderella? Was LSU?

| Mulhl, so stupid too often. UConn has the better team offense but still will have difficulty winning because of lack of size and too many fouls. |

UConn has a whole starting 5 injured. Shade and KK should have been 9th and 10th on the depth chart, and we can’t take them out of games. It’s been actually crazy the past few years. |
ND has had:
Miles, Prosper, Brown, Risch, Watson, Citron (9 games), and Obinma (2-3 games, I think) and Westbeld (1 game) in concussion protocol.
So.......

| Very good game by UConn's coaching staff and all seven rotation players. I'm mildly surprised because I expected USC to be much better, on both team offense and defense, than what they showed in this game. |

I was just counting our 5 best that are out for the season since like, December. Other teams have had injuries, but this UConn team has gone through the gauntlet.
Anyway, at 70 years old, potentially Geno’s best coaching job. I’m so proud of this team, absolutely crazy season and y’all forgot Paige Fucking Bueckers.
Special shout out to Q and Shade, who both played far better than what they have done this season when they had to.
Juju is smooth AF. What an elegant basketball player. IMO, USC will get some quality players that want to play with her.

I feel like Juju and Hannah are just on the front of their arc.
Paige and Caitlin in a Final Four is a crescendo.
If Caitlin wins, it will further deepen the narrative of her dominance. If Paige wins, it will be the beginning of a whole new debate. We are done with Angel and Caitlin as it’s unlikely the two will compete for championships as their team’s best player against each other into the future. Paige and Caitlin will likely battle each other for years. And when they are both in the W, we will get to watch them play over and over and over.
And then in four years we get to watch them play against Hannah and Juju and really, it’s going to be amazing.

Another excellent game. No getting around it - Geno may not have the depth of talent he's often had, but he gets the most out of them. Bueckers is as good as always, but I thought Edwards was the Important Difference tonight.
As good as USC is, tonight they just didn't seem as *battle-tested* as UConn was. The Huskies looked/played like a team that has weathered adversity.
I can't see any reason why BOTH teams can't be in the FF next season....barring injuries, both oughtta be excellent, imo.

I wanted to see at least one team from the deceased PAC-12 make it to the Final Four. Oh, well.

| Juju is a freshman and made some freshman mistakes. She can only get better. But how long can Paige carry this decimated UConn team on her back? That's the real question.
