UConn at Minnesota - 11/19/2023

[@Wben113]

Haven't even watched it yet but I have to thank you. You are spoiling us.

[@edison505]

Thank you MJL243. You are the best!! Lucky to have you upload these.🙏👍

[@JessicaElizabeth74]

Thank you so much from all the way from the UK 🙌

[@foxdogsourdough]

Thank you! MJL Rocks!

Aaliyah Edwards is amazing. Very, very few NCAA centers have the mentality and quickness to aggressively defend out to the half line, and create turnovers out there...

[@frankiek2269]

Normally, I’ll watch the good games twice. But this one was painfully boring. I kind of feel bad for Paige, and the hometown fans that came to see her. For her to have a bad shooting day, and end with 12. It happens to everyone. Both teams shot horrible. 44 and 20% on FG and 3’s for UConn, and 26 and 17% for Minnesota. Both teams had a bad shooting day.

[@JH-eg7mq]

Agreed! We are lucky that Minnesota didn’t shoot the lights out! Everyone who starts are standing around waiting for Paige to do her magic!?? What is Muhl doing this year? I really hate seeing her drive then not finish inside the paint! Why isn’t anyone driving to the basket? KK, Samuels and Shade know what to do! The bench is saving the season so far! Caroline is not well, and it shows. She has a charge almost every game. The rest of the team NEED to help Paige! Don’t expect anything from Azzi until next year if they are lucky. Her confidence will be shot if she returns. This team can do it if they can switch on the freaking light bulb and attack the rim, and practice their shots? Who is the 3 pt assassin? We need points! Layups too! Aaliyah could add 10 points to her total if she could made all of her layups. That is how these other schools are killing other teams! UConn bigs in the past hardly missed! Hence, 11 championship’s! Go Huskies!

[@andreagalli1828]

Other Great Victory,Let's Go Huskies!!!,Love Paige Best Player Ever😎😍👍🏆🏀

[@pulajul7644]

First,,, thank you very much 💙🤞

[@kingkhalifa2702]

UConn has to get their offense going without azzi who’s basically been a decoy early on. The game was won in the third. It has to be a collective effort, everybody has to contribute. They play Friday against UCLA so we definitely will have answers as to who this team will be after that game.

[@jmiddlefinger4534]

Thanks @MJL243,, really, really appreciate your work

[@snekmeseht]

I've been rooting for Amari and Caroline to break out for a long time. C'mon man!

[@lastonestanding3417]

Watch the way Edwards and Brady move, run .... then watch DeBerry move and run DeBerry appears to be the victim of sports media hype

[@StoryGordon]

UConn is known for it's runs. They had a 14-0 run beginning at 41:00 on he clip. From up 27-25 to 41-25 . It's what they do.

[@pulajul7644]

I'm always waiting 🤞

[@Someonespecial111]

Aaliyah is so beautiful❤

[@pabloimireia]

Bueckers vs Braun..a classic😎🏀

Finally got a chance to watch this game; well worth the wait. Thank you MJL for being there for us.

[@gadgetperson5128]

MJL243, you are the best. Will you show the games from the Cayman Islands Classic?

[@jaylewis1993]

I’m a Lynx Maya Moore Is My Favorite Player So I’m A Fan If You Kno About Janel Then You Kno She Was A Beast I Saw Her And Lindsey In The Final 4 in 04 I Was 11 I’ve Been A UCONN Fan Literally My Whole Life Same As Bama

[@bekslahey]

I miss Paige and Amaya…

[@lukespack]

A couple of the Minnesota players could benefit from weight loss. I have seen UConn players carrying much excess weight!

[@DrUmarJohnson2]

I hate to say this UConn era is over

[@MrNiceGuy80x5]

i feel that we were very fortunate that our opponents did not capitalize on our mistakes. come march, if our defense does not improve, its going to be an early season.

[@labrd41]

MJL243👍👍👍

[@HelloWorld-tn1tl]

I come just to see Paige Bueckers vs Amaya Battle.

[@markhathaway9456]

Don't miss the first free throw. I see it all the time by everybody and it's purely psychological.

[@altonrandolph775]

Coach, What happened to your philosophy of if a UCONN player is open then That player must shoot? We can't have that hesitation on our Team. Coach Randolph

[@RubenDarioCanariofana-du5il]

Yesa

[@geneticrex]

Holy cow.....talk about a clang-fest. The last time I saw that many bricks in one location, my Pop was building a fireplace in the backyard, in 65'. Obviously, this is not the UCONN team fans were expecting to see so far this year, but with what seems to be the now perennial injury bug biting UCONN yet again, this is shaping up to be another season that the potential of this team will not be realized. I know it's early, but with the likes of Azzi already out for who knows how long, along with 2 post players, including 1 that is lost for the season, Caroline's post concussion(s) related funk and Griffin's measured minutes (according to Geno) due to her unfortunate back woes, for UCONN to even have a chance to make some noise in the tournament, they will have to remain almost injury free for the remainder of the season and into the tournament. The problem is......with the injuries to an already weak front-court, it is going to be a real battle trying to cope with teams that actually have legitimate horses up front, both in the offensive/defensive rebounding department, their own scoring down low and limiting opposition big's scoring, along with dribble drives at the rim. Hopefully, Patterson can help some in the paint when she returns. One thing is certain, though. Thank goodness the freshman have had a good start, as they may be called upon to play a much bigger role than anticipated. Too bad one of them isn't a 6'5" stud.

Paige And Aaliyah Just Have To Get Back Used To Playin Together Again Aaliyah Is away Better Than What She Was Her Freshman Year I Feel They Both Are Pressing To Hard

[@JH-eg7mq]

After watching the game again it is clear: the post coaches are ruining our players. Aaliyah EDWARDS is getting bad advice on how to play the post. She forces the issue every game and gets a charge. I don’t see moves like Aaliyah Boston, Angel Reese, Aja Wilson, Maya Moore, Swin Cash! She doesn’t do a quick 10-15 jumper using the back board! At her size, she shouldn’t even come down with the ball! Her moves are easy to pick off and against good teams, she struggles. How come she can’t hit a layup after her “signature” move? If she is the high scorer each game, we are in trouble. This team shots poorly compared with past teams and this shouldn’t be the case. However, there is hope with the freshman! Love ‘em!

[@jaylewis1993]

I disagree she just pressing to hard right now figuring out the offense with Paige back

[@JH-eg7mq]

@@jaylewis1993 That could be true and makes sense? Do you think it will change? The Paige factor could be a real problem. We had it in 2022 during the tournament. Her own players stood around waiting for her to do something. We have the offensive power to blow out every team, with our players. So why are they deferring to Paige so much? It is a blessing and a curse. Paige can’t win game alone. The freshman are out performing the upperclassman right now in bench points. Thank God! I hope they can work it out.

[@lastonestanding3417]

​@@JH-eg7mq I have to take issue with you blaming coaching. I agree with jaylewis; Paige Bueckers has been off the floor for nearly 1 1/2 years, offensive flow takes time to develop. The Paige factor is not a "problem", as you say. UConn won the game... Edwards contributed 16 pts (shooting 53%) [what I think is shocking is she didn't shoot a freethrow; apparently the refs didn't feel she was ever pushed, held, or hit during the game - amazing], 9 rebs, 2 assists, 2 steals, and a blocked shot... all the while being double, and sometimes triple teamed. She is not receiving poor coaching.

[@JH-eg7mq]

⁠@@lastonestanding3417 I will agree she had a good game despite being double teamed. She is the most consistent big we have, even with missed layups, thankfully. However, UConn’s other bigs have NOT performed well over the last several years. When Mosley was a post coach, we had SOLID BOXING OUT, more REBOUNDS and more Assists per game. In fairness, not many players are doing any of these! That is why we had consistent runs to the final four in previous years. Barring 2020, which Paige lead the way, we got into the championship with Dorka and Aaliyah doing a great job! Last year, we out performed Ohio State in most categories but we had 25 turnovers that we couldn’t recover from and terrible 3 point shooting! (6/23) Can you explain to me what is up with Deberry? What happened with Piath? Deberry, hasn’t grown as a player in three years? What was the point in recruiting her? Is that her or coaching? At some point, the coaches need to take ownership like Geno has. He realizes he HAS to use his bench because his core FIVE are shaky or injured . That wasn’t always the case before 2016. I know these big coaches can coach but they need to make more players accountable, moving forward.because we have the talent. Under performers need to be called out and coached better.

Even though this isn't the WNBA this is an example in the first half of why no one comes to a woman's basketball game. Is Minnesotas Great Lakes effect humidity like thick enough to affect the basketballs trajectory ?

[@markhathaway9456]

1st game to really activate Aaliyah and it took a while. Good defense, rebounding took a while to become dominant, shooting was awful. Frosh: every time I see Q moving well with the ball I think of Michael Jordan at N.C., but then KK hits a 3pt floater and I'm like, omg, that's super MJ. Wow. All of them are coming along well, but KK is leading them. Too many missed layups is probably from lack of focus and that often comes from mental tiredness. I'd say they're learning a lot, and it's just taxing them. Food and sleep help a lot. Held Minn to a very low FG%, so successful game. I didn't see any major problems with the combinations of players on the floor. They all seemed to work pretty well together.
