UConn vs. St. Johns - 2/21/2023

I'm concerned about Caroline at this point. The lingering head & neck stuff is making her hesitant on contact playing. Those easy misses at the rim can't happen.

Must thank you MJL, I have been in Thailand for 2 weeks and you make it possible to watch these games, nomatter how painful they are.

This was a hard one to stomach. It was a little disappointing. It’s at point where we have to take it a game at time now even going into the tournaments. Can’t try to look too far into the future and predict the outcome because we never know. When both teams get on the floor one wins and one loses no matter the record, the rankings or even the history. All that matters is the score. Their record will be 0-0 just like everyone else’s come march. Yes we use these games as projections and predictions of how things may play out later on but it’s just that, projections and predictions. they may come true and they may not. I’m gonna continue to stick by this team and support them. A few things I see that needs to happen is 1. They have to get stronger down low. Can’t be weak in the post. Rebound, rebound. Rebound. 2. Have to limit turnovers. They average like 17 a game. That’s a a lot. The margin for error is 0 at this point in the season and going forward. 3. Lou cannot be the offense. She needs help. Other players have to step up. We all know that these teams are going to face guard her and shut her down as best as they can. so offense as to come from somewhere else. 4. Even if the bench doesn’t play they need to bring energy and excitement on the sideline. They can help fuel this team. 5. Each and every player has to play smart, maximize their minutes and communicate on that court. 6. They have to play more physical. No more weak, cry baby ball. Fight through the contact and play. Get and 1s. Get to the free throw. Force teams to foul. 7. Last but not least, their will to win has to be greater than their fatigue. y’all got this ladies. I believe in y’all. I want to see y’all prove the doubters wrong. It has to be a team effort though. From the players and especially the coaches. The coaches need to be on their P’s and Q’s seriously. They can’t slack off on this team simply because of injuries and because they may not be like past teams . They have to give it their all as well. just one game at time y’all. One game at a time. Let’s go huskies 💪🏽 💪🏽

Thanks for the game MJL. Always appreciated. 😎

I never thanked you before I've been a UConn fan since the 90's, However I played for St. John's 76-80'😁, but last night they were the enemy 🤣we where all socked...Two things happened St. John's played defense and out rebound them... It was an awesome game...UConn will win the Big East Tourney and will be a 1 seed in the NCAA. Yes they are short handed, but the Big Ten & Pac 12 both have 6 ranked good teams then there's SC & LSU of the SEC, The ACC has 5 ranked teams...So UConn will have to dig deep. It will be a very exciting Tournament.

This team just looks mentally tired and that throws off skills like shooting and passing and teamwork. I can't believe they called the foul on Aubrey when she fell down and then had the SJ fall on her. That was crazy. It's amazing how other teams beat up UConn and then when UConn taps another player it's an egregious foul. Missing shots was the big difference in the game. UConn got looks and couldn't make them.

Thank youMJL.♥️♥️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Thanks MLJ, i am support uconn solid, 👍✌️✌️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Dang can't help but miss Paige Bueckers on the court.

Thank you MJL 🙏

Think about this: If UConn played their bench, they would make dumb mistakes. However, if they play their starters 40 minutes a game, they will make sloppy, careless mistakes because they are tired. Pick your poison. The starters making mistakes because of fatigue will not help in the long run, but the bench making mistakes could be learning opportunities for the future. UConn should have been playing their bench significantly more minutes over the last month. It would have been frustrating, and they may have lost some games because of it, but long term, the team would have been in a better place. I fear it's too late now. This team is fatigued.

👍👍👍👍👍 thank you.

I just wanna know why he doesn’t use Amari a lot. She’s 6’5” and could use the experience. Does Geno have bigs coming in next year that are taller than guards? If not he’s gonna have to use her.

What a grind! Go Huskies!! Thanks MJL!

this game just verified I should be very nervous for my bracket. I always have them go all the way but would they even make past the firs two rounds?!

Thanks MJL❤️❤️

thanks mjl for the ride through thick and thin this year!

Damn. Ducharme was horrible. 1-11 including that airball near the rim in the 4th. Edwards hasn't played to her standard in like 6 or 7 games not counting South Carolina. All of a sudden she can't catch or hold on to the ball. That leaves Lou now as the solely most consistent player this year. Unrelated but did anyone notice how Peeples played as if she was drying her nails or something 😂?

Painful to watch! I have no words…

The goals for the season need to change. Win against DePaul and win the big east. Win the big east tournament. Make the sweet 16. If UConn can do that then this season will be a massive success! 👏
