Still gutted about Aubrey...because she is one of my favorite players..probably the best 6th person in womens D1...but props to Nika for stepping uo the offense...KK and Ashlyn keep getting better and better...and Q attacking the hoop??? More please...
UConn's development year continues. WOW, KK's move at 5:00. You could almost hear Georgetown shoelaces pop. And Q at 7:02. UConn's Freshment don't know they are supposed to take time to develop.
I WAS THERE!!! The game was amazing and I got pictures with a bunch of the girls! Thanks UConn for the amazing experience and thanks for the autographs girls!
KK reminds me so much of Earl Monroe the way she moves. Of course she's 100 times faster than The Pearl was. You can see the coaching of defense in their stances and how they get in the chest. Ice and Aaliyah is going to have to be a thing against bigger teams, better get used to it. KK is a freakin' blur with hands and feet fast as a boxer. The frosh are missing lots of defensive assignments but they are getting better. Q misses the most; Ash some; and KK one or two. These froshes are fearless, Q with her skinny self crashes with abandon, I love it.
All that has to be seen and said about DeBerry is around 7:07 - 7:09. What is Samuels doing? What is Brady doing? And where is DeBerry? At 7:09 DeBerry is not even in the frame.
DeBerry A 6’5 McDonald All-American and Amari has consistently proven she doesn’t belong. So many individuals on here keep asking why she isn’t playing…uhhhh, do you actually WATCH her when she does get in?! It’s blatantly obvious she doesn’t give a hoot about UCONN basketball and is simply going through the motions. She plays with a zero energy, lackadaisical approach (at times her apathy is beyond belief) and clearly has nothing vested to helping her team. Lord, her first possession in both the Creighton and Georgetown games were to launch an ill-timed 3 pointer from the top of the key (why position yourself under the basket where the team needs your size when it’s easier to just throw the ball up). Sometimes I think she pulls that %$#* just to annoy Geno (it appears to work). I’ve been watching this team for 35 years, never have I seen a player so completely uninspired and apathetic to the game. Her attitude is a disgrace and a slap in the face to her teammates. I’ve watched what these girls have had to endure over the course of the last 3 years, the sacrifices, long hours of practice, emotional roller-coasters, injuries, etc… and there sits Amari without a care in the world - complete indifference. What a shame in the era of NIL, the transfer portal and all the other things the schools have to yield to these kids that a school can’t rescind a scholarship.
With the last what 4 games, this team is finally coming together as a team. I think if ice keeps working into the games, that could be the difference in uconn winning or losing in the ncaa championship game.
the uconn huskies are playing great basketball,with paige bueckers back after a year without playing they are in good shape to upset the gamecocks,for their first lost,if lsu do not do it first.we will see.the gamecocks are playing great,but have not face a team like lsu or uconn.after the gamecocks play those two teams we will see how this gamecocks team of this season compare with the team of last season.
I disagree with your deduction as to Ashlynn being a better player than Azzi. Azzi is a very good player plagued with injuries, and so is Caroline Ducharme. Without her unfortunate injuries, she will be one the best D1 women basketball players. Ashlynn S. Samuels, Ice Brady, and KK Arnold are all good players. They all played very well in this game.
@@lastonestanding3417 Yeah that's why I said "Dare I say it" -- I know, but...man she has been delivering for a frosh. She is not the pure shooter Azzi is, but she is getting results.
If she plays like this the whole season- absolutely yes, as of now- no, not yet. I feel bad for Azzi's basketball storyline, but that is the truth, consistency is the key, always was, always will be!
