ncaa recap: uconn vs. fort hayes

i wish i had the box score for this game

i know it’s just an exhibition, but we are SO BACK

lowk we coulda dropped a 100 piece easyyyy

anyway miss ashlynn shade former foty did NOTTT come to play god bless 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

kaitlyn chen really settling into her role (couple questionable turnovers maybe but it’s okay, we’re gonna work on it)

sarah strong VERY smart player. i like her. missing azzi and kk but all in due time.

ice brady i knew you could mama but why are we taking 3’s babyyyyy get in the painttttt

ugh jana is just making so many freshman mistakes and obv the refs were a little lackadaisical with the whistle but still… girl… come on

when jana develops tho… that 1-2 punch w ice is gonna be insane. everyone say it with me: NO MORE SMALL BALL YAYYYYY OMG GOOD JOB

speaking of lackadaisical uhhh that defense?? ur getting dunked on by sc bro 😭😭 figure that shit out

man…

god bless america and god bless paige bueckers. this girl is so ridiculously efficient. there was a point where she COULD NOT FUCKING MISS. she was 8-8 w 19 POINTS at the half y’all like we on demon time

like just so we’re clear on the typa timing paige was on today: she shot 86% from the field. and 75% from 3.

what are you.

what the ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU?? BECAUSE OHHHHH MY GOD YOU ARE INSANE. YOU ARE NUTS. ALL THAT AND 9 BOARDS??? FILLED THE REST OF THE SHEET??? ON 0 TURNOVERS??????

lord have mercy on the rest of the ncaa it’s paige season again.

WELCOME BACK CONNECTICUT BASKETBALL.

ncaa recap: uconn vs. usc

first of all: what a way to lose a completely winnable game. WHAT a thing to do. truly!!! i applaud it. i’m SHOCKED at it, really - bc no way you wanna lose every fucking top 10 matchup y’all have. there’s just no way!!!

and now i have to do the thing i have been dreading all season, bc i have such immense respect for this man.

geno. what. the fuck. are you. doing.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING BRO????????????

what’s the game plan?? HUH???? no matter what happens, it’s paige’s fault??? the best player in the fucking country stayed an extra year to play for you, and THIS is how you do her???

quit playing her off ball bro PLEASE matter of fact she can’t play off ball. yup! CAN’T do it. every single one of her numbers but efficiency is down from last season, so i can conclude that you need to stop playing that bitch off ball.

put the ball in paige’s fucking hands luigi or i swear to god i will shove it up your ass. you have the most CREATIVE, TALENTED, INTELLIGENT scoring pg in the country and you’re playing her OFF BALL???? WHAT THE SHIT?????

and paige bro. we don’t get to pick and choose when we wanna play basketball. you don’t get to ONLY show up the second half. and MAN was that a fucking monster second half. like my legs are still shaking from it jesus fucking christ. but when we do THAT SHIT!!! right???? when we DON’T PLAY THE FULL 40???

it comes down to a freshman and her free throws. sarah strong, you are a perfect angel. you did NOTHING wrong. the play was all wrong, it shouldn’t have come down to you, i am so so sorry it did. sarah has been so unbelievably consistent, and i just KNOW she’s blaming herself for it.

what’s the reasoning behind these last few possessions. like what the fuck is up bro. why are we going for the 2 when we’re down 3. why are we fouling with no fouls left to give. if you’re gonna do that shit take the 3!!! close the gap completely. why are we willing to widen the possession margin??? i understand the technicality of the strategy here, and it might be the smartest thing possible in ANOTHER situation.

in MY mind tho: take the 3, tie the game. get a stop on the other end, set a decoy, have paige or ash take the 3. or send jana down low for a 2. but it was so obviously a matter of geno not trusting the defense. which is NUTS - because this is one of the strongest defenses in the country. and it wouldn’t have been a perimeter job. probably not!! probably would’ve been a juju middy or kiki down low!! REALISTICALLY!!!

i just, like… those last few CRUCIAL possessions were really muddled and it pissed me tf off. like actually made me so fucking mad.

anyway bro’s yapping again - bc if kk is a game changer, keep her in the fuckin game dawg. idk just a thought.

SIT ice, START jana, and SHUT THE FUCK UP ‼️‼️‼️ hm i wonder who will be a better match for the best power forward in the nation - the 6’5 paint beast, or the big who’s been showing you she lowk CANNOT PLAY BASKETBALL

anyway i just wanna say - to anyone who thinks paige got outplayed this game, fuck all the way off. juju couldn’t even guard paige the whole game, while paige did not let up. if juju had a hard time scoring, it’s because paige was in her mouth the whole time. that’s a two way player. so i don’t wanna hear shit.

in conclusion: MANE FUCK THIS SHIT

ncaa recap: uconn vs. notre dame

yeah everyone who isn’t paige or sarah i hope you handed in your coats and shoes and walked the fuck home. south bend to storrs. no food or water breaks.

i want to take a second to appreciate paige. there was a point where she was getting 2 guys, 3 guys on her, and sonia citron is no slouch defender. 26 on 11/20 shooting. she didn’t take a bad shot. not one.

sarah strong thank you for being able to shoot the 3 ball. THANK you.

the rest of you fuckers. what the hell.

what the hell???

i get like foul trouble fucks with you. you have to switch to a zone. that’s fine. why is the perimeter COMPLETELY FUCKING OPEN???? zone doesn’t mean you just sit in the paint and twiddle your thumbs !!! CONTEST!!!!!!

oh my god and why are we not making READS??? i watched homophobe hidalgo send away and call for a koval screen RIGHT in front of kk’s face - and she STILL ran right into it!! she didn’t call for a switch!!! no, she turned right around and ran FACE FIRST into a FUCKING screen!!! she got BLOCKED at the cup!!

we actually just got embarrassed in front of the entire country. it wasn’t a blowout only because paige came alive in the second quarter. we got lucky

but i don’t wanna hear this bullshit or she had a good game. she had a good game given the circumstances. at the same time, she had 3 turnovers and 2 assists. homophobe hidalgo outplayed her by a mile.

speaking of - WHY is KK’S DEFENSIVE ASSIGNMENT HIDALGO??? why is ash or paige not on her??? WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE???

guys i’m gonna crash out

i’m really gonna crash out

there is too much talent on this uconn team to be losing games like this

get it the fuck together

ncaa recap: uconn vs. unc

i hope that was one quiet ass bus ride.

no like deadass praying to god that this fourth quarter haunts them when they face south carolina in the final four

everyone say it with me: BASKETBALL IS A GAME OF RUNS!!!!

what are these turnovers 😭😭😭 why are we missing offensive rebounds

guys this lowk should’ve been a blowout like i am largely unhappy with how this game went

thank you sarah strong!!!! what a spectacular stat line oh my goodness: 14 points 13 boards 6 assists 5 blocks - beautiful! stunning! i know she got the 3 in her bag but this was not her game from 3; 0-7 not a cute stat.

paige was not on her regular efficiency - but having 10 points in the first like 5 mins of the game was just stupid. 29 on 60% shooting… if passive paige were really gone it would’ve been a 30 piece easy 🥱

real talk tho… she cookin y’all. 1-2 punch w sarah will go crazy. talk soon.

kaitlyn fouling out 😭😭😭 ice with a cool 4 fouls 😭😭😭 MAN IF Y’ALL WANNA PLAY D PLAY CLEAN D

on a real tho this was one of the worse whistles i’ve seen on an ncaa court like… y’all did not want my girls to winnn

stressing me the FUCK out good LORD

anyway idgaf about fort dicks and holy shit cross or whatever but this better not be what y’all have to show against louisville

shitty win ladies good night 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
