NCAA Tournament Elite 8: UConn Huskies vs. USC Trojans | Full Game Highlights

[Applause] huskies and blue Trojans and Cardinal and gold as the number one seed and that final ticket to the final four about to be punched 40 minutes of discipline and execution and you have to match that for 40 minutes the step through to the left side by Davis and

It’s stripped by ni mule there’s your starting five for SC they are a little deeper they are a little bigger against essentially a four guard lineup Yukon right in Yukon because they primarily play five it’s going to be really important for USC to establish the Baseline points in the

Paint get their post play going on the inside and challenge Aaliyah Edwards Watkins mid-range pull up off the mark another offensive rebound and a second chance here for southern cow Debbie very similar to our first game both these teams are at their best playing a fast tempo yeah and and it’s

Not just this vertical speed it’s the Court speed just like that five lifted above the free throw line wide open Lane and Yukon is an elite level cutting team Beckers with the assist from Edwards Aaliyah the Canadian Olympian trying to invert Juju Watkins to the block and the

More shots they can hit Mule the all-time assist leader at Yukon next saying something with all their great point guards Edward strong to the rim they get you playing side to side accelerate through make you jump to the ball and then they get it inside to Lei

Edwards and she can finish on the inside in a one-on-one look how wide open the pain is Forbes calls for the screen gets it stops on a dime and Edwards with the defensive rebound Arnold there’s that burst they’re going to attack Padilla as much as they can

Tonight Baylor used that to some success in their sweet 16 matchup yukon’s not a heavy ball screen offense it’s more a pass and cut I’d say it’s like 80% pass and cut versus versus a ball screen offense them Advance this is the foot speed of KK Arnold right here crosses up

Padilla in transition does it great attacking the rim and then Juju Watkins coming off that screen gets to the elbow and she’s got her own Twitter handle to to Rossy bun maybe JuJu’s got one cooking on social media see here’s a clear out right here juju going right

Look at that body control count it and W it’s a clear out four players on the weak side oneon-one with mule bucket and Paige got the last possession they’re going to isolate her on the elra here they go to double That Elbow entry back to Beckers looking for three Off the

Mark mule swooping and missed the Gimme Juju Wat was guarding Paige Beckers in that matchup got some help from Pia Forbes counted off the window of USC right here nice crossover you got a smaller defender on you it’s a nice use of the window to knock it in and

Handle the contact Forbes calls for it she’s really developed into their leader playing with a lot of confidence and Poise Paige Beckers will counter and she will go right at pad and draw the foul hesitation a little bump in Paige has Juju erant on the pass I mean Juju

Doesn’t need much space to go where she needs to go she can make a play in a tight space Beckers off the cross in the dish as she drops it off for Edwards it’s a really well done play by Paige Beckers Edwards gets underneath spins

Back to the other side and scores so now Yukon comes with a ball screen on the naked side and they X Out on the backside which means they switch on the backside on that screen it’s a good job by Yukon to execute and then aiah Edwards right here uses her footwork underneath the

Basket the Forbes coming down and puts on the brakes it’s a beautiful pull inste it’s going to be Forbes calling for the screen up top gets the switch the drive the block for Beckers all made it to the Sweet 16 all very athletic teams NC State South [Applause]

Carolina USC will keep it here see they have more players in street clothes than they do in uniforms who can come into the game it’s been a crazy season at Yukon what you want to do is try to run some stuff where you get Samuel switching on to Juju Watkins just like

That right there Padilla but then you got to recognize it and and get her the basketball Nik mule running with Arnold the pull up and Nik mu’s got it Nik mu doesn’t look to score very often she’s certainly capable but especially in transition she has to be a

Threat let’s see if they look to get Juju a touch it it’s about s minutes since her last shot Attempt Marshall the turn I think it was a pass I think it was to Caitlyn Davis lot of contact on that shot attempt here’s Beckers stepping outside the line man they call it a two but they will review it at the next stoppage Edwards able to tip it to Beckers

Arnold nice change of Direction floats it up and in just 29% shooting and only one of six this quarter Good Help by bia on that drive Samuels wide open look got it mule passes up the Triple to a wide open Samuels the six-foot freshman hadn’t played in the last couple of games and

Sticks a triple at this end of the floor it’s been 8 minutes since ju guu last took a shot during that St a 19 to5 Yukon run which she ends more than any of their Legends handful of whom are in the Hall of Fame Forbes got a piece of

That on the switch he draws Watkins KK Arnold is out of the game with three fouls they’re down a starter Watkins stays outside the line and hits it on Beckers and this is what we came here to see exactly that we want to see that one-on-one match up once in a while two

Leading scorers are showing it both averaging over 27 points per game in the postseason and Beckers with a dozen look at this little back and forth little rope of dope action and then the stick from the top of the and then on the other side Paige Becker’s a little

Bumped to create some separation both so highly skilled here’s ice Brady now making an appearance in the game for for Connecticut Beckers deep three hits it okay well there’s been so much attention elsewhere in the women’s game and deservedly so but Beckers is a three-time allamerican

Has taken the Huskies to the final four a couple of times already in her career and trying to make a splash here late in the season with this big lineup coach Orma likes the horn series [Applause] Brady’s trying to find her way Edwards good help defense and the block

For Marshall heavy favorites to win a third National Championship don’t count out the wolf back they have made an incredible run to get here and the Lefty ice Brady knocks down a shot at the nail boy any bench scoring for can is house money Marshall nice find by Forbes off

The bounce also noteworthy here Debbie before Aaliyah Edwards she is playing without her mask for the first time since breaking her nose in the Big East tournament they run that double again at her see aiah Edwards cannot be aggressive in that though and Padia is one of their better three-point Shooters

When the ball skips over the top to the weak side you got to be ready to catch and shoot she’s 0 for tonight mule at the other end is not should be SC ball here watch mule get organized it’s a good push they do not get together to change the call so it

Stays with Yukon Edwards aggressive to the rim R Marshall doesn’t have any fouls she has to be more aggressive in that play right there and not let Aaliyah Edwards bully her off the line off the block Forbes able to knock down the three just 29% shooting tonight for Southern Cal

Beckers 17 for Paige see this one’s going up Beth Juju Watkins is kind of like why why am I not getting some touches right here Forbes unselfishly Pass open for three was 50% from three going into the tournament Beckers with a drive turn we’re under 5 minutes to go here in

This third quarter winner to face Iowa at the final four shade able to knock it down and gets inside and then shade with a triple her first point well she’s going to get the3 she’s going to get the ball right here got to out of the timeout

Oh jumps the passing Lane Paige Beckers Scoops it up and in you can’t by a dozen that’s a scouting report defensive steel right there what a great job to jump that pass 70 run let me say this about Cheryl Miller scored over 3,000 points no three-point line

And she was my all time what I call best got a few new ones come along here lately with a nice steal count it Carl Miller both have that Glide ability there’s a steal right here by Juju she crosses over and handles the contact look she’s she’s pushing her into the

Screen behind the back and blocked out of bounds by [Applause] Brady Edwards backing in Watkins contact but no whistle on the run the three and transition is Good from Big B a much better choice tonight by big Hil by 12 I mean look at the trust Factor right here

By Juju Watkins Big B in transition gets organized Beckers comes to get it big be honor mule playing with those four fouls finds Brady in the corner for three ice Brady for three she’s a 23% three-point shooter her sixth of the Season Padilla finds the handle and hits it to beat the

Buzzer nothing better than a buzzer beater to kick us into the fourth quarter her first basket of the night drills it Edwards gets to the Baseline to lay it in and [Applause] won she Gets By Davis fatigue and to protect from foul trouble the lob to Watkins Gets behind the Zone count

It parade of free throws for her this is just a nice set Play Good screening on the back of the zone right there USC look like shade off the ball Fake juju going to take it herself gets to the left side to lay it in I mean it is a Glide an 81 run by Southern Cal Juju to the rim Watkins off the cross Forbes to tie it up and Forbes with a spot up we’re all tied up at

59 coach Orma has managed foul trouble so well in this game now they’re going back to their manto man and that’s a block on [Applause] Juju 7 for 18 tonight from the floor Beckers look at Gino’s going to shorten up the game here this is where he orchestrates who he wants where he

Wants with his offense in front this is really going to be something to watch we asked him about it yesterday how much film do you watch to get your players in the right spot he’s it a lot winner gets Iowa at the final four nice fake Edwards window everything we have to play

Another day Becker’s on the inbound I can’t tell you the number of times lindsy gotley went over that very set both Arnold and mule number two and number 10 in blue are playing with four fouls off the turnover Watkins steps through up and in so good with with her body control four fouls

On Beckers collects spins Baseline tough shot gets it to go now I thought that was a foul she was up under her Watkins for three in and out under four here in the fourth remember the other thing that coach Ori said we cannot play from behind because of our depth we don’t

Have the ability to extend Rd but they can shorten the game here by running clock Beckers for three got [Applause] It paig with contact that’s a bucket big one right there and then back to back contested triple from the top of the floor She and mule and Edwards have played every single second tonight count it and mule finds Edwards on the backside Davis late Edwards with a bucket final two

Minutes now you don’t want to foul now you want to stay solid in your D Becker’s off the bounds pulls up in the lane for two did great job of anticipating here’s Beckers in a late clock through the contact just too talented you do you got to stay

Aggressive here you got one to give Beckers drives inside blocked by Watkins Juju with the SWAT there’s a block from behind by Juju Watkins and you see she steps out of her shoe on a miss [Applause] here Forbes will look for three and hit it this is a nice job by Forbes to

Relocate and to use the bounce to separate from Paige Beckers McKenzie [Applause] forb there’s a switch Watkins drops it off for Marshall missed the layup Second Chance up and [Applause] in here’s the three for Watkins they run her off the line she’ll take the two proving that it’s not how you start
