Happy for Paige. She’s worked hard and deserves this. Congrats UConn.
Sarah Strong is a force…automatic wow
After Sarah Strong, Azzi Fudd was the best player on the floor. The only reason UCONN hasn’t been able to win a championship was she hasn’t been healthy. She has the quickest release on her jumper than anyone in the country.
Annihilation. I love it!
Paige has led this team so well throughout the tournament and this dominant win with everyone firing from all cylinders at the championship game was so deserved.
My girl Paige look like her knees still bothering her
10:00
Can someone explain why Fulwiley doesn’t play the point?? She needs to transfer somewhere to a program that knows how to use her. Sarah was smart not to attend South Carolina.
Just love how Paige gets buckets every way thru contact, off ball screen, iso, it’s hard to double her because she can get a bucket anyway on the court like Kd or Steph, she shoot 50-40-88. She’s hitting all contested shots thru contact. She gonna be a star in the WNBA. Glad she came back and capped her college career as a national championship winner. So proud of her, she’s by far my favorite female basketball player and cannot wait to see more. And I’m gonna pay to see this kid/young woman play because she’s worth it and she’s box office. Congrats Geno and your UCONN Huskies.
Paige Bueckers for President 😊
SC needs to recruit some 3 pt shooters
Since Staley has no problem with dudes playing against girls maybe she should have had a few trans dudes on her team and maybe they would have been more competitive 🤣
I knew this when gene hugged dawn starting of the game he was so ready to beat South Carolina
I always felt like, if SC drew UConn, UConn would win. Geno knows how to pick mentally strong, short, feisty ball players! What a game
WOW. THE WAY THIS GAME STARTED I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE A CLOSE GAME TO THE END.
I'm happy for Paige and Azzi cementing their legacy as UCONN greats. Sarah looks like the next legend. Geno proved he can get it done in this new era after a mini drought. I respect greatness.
They couldnt change the court? Final 4 on a championship game?
South Caroline deserved to be there but UConn is on a different level, it was never a game.
Geno back. Paige got hers. Azzi is fur. Strong is exactly that. Salute to the Ladies of South Carolina. Congrats on #12 Huskies
Out of all the major sports covered in America no 1s had a more dominant run than uconn women hoops , they have literally twice as many chips as the patriots & are STILL doing it . 👏👏👏👏👏 geno auriemma deserves more recognition as a great if not the best American sports coach ever
Fudd really Fudded things up for SC. Strong was too Strong.
Well deserved win!
Congrats from a Gamecock alum. It's RARE for Dawn to not have an answer on the court, and UConn put us in that position twice. Hold that trophy high Huskies. You deserve it.
