NCAA Tournament Sweet 16: Duke Blue Devils vs. UConn Huskies | Full Game Highlights

What’s going to be interesting to me in watching the Duke defense is can they speed Yukon up cuz when you take them deep into the shot clock they got that a bucket getter on any level well the other thing to note is it’s their longest Championship drought that

They’ve had since that first title in 95 that’s a hungry [Applause] Bunch Arnold swatted blocked by Delaney Thomas another one of the freshmen they have six newcomers this year Debbie top 10 class this year I mean all spread out attempting 10 on the shot clock na thought about the three passed it

Up and now Arnold weaving her way inside well the Huskies winners of the Big East again this year regular season and tournament Edwards knocks it down Richardson thought about it steps away from the defender and hits the prior three she had a total of 15 so

She’s really picked it up in the NCAA they pulled off the biggest upset so far over the Buckey as cage Becker’s hangs and hit transition game but then when she inverts to the block how about a little low post move [Applause] 82 May Edward’s got a piece of that one

And that’s the one player that they can ill afford to foul out of a game Edwards strong inside muscles it up and in over Brown at 66 I mean just too strong still a two- possession game for the Blue Devils they’ve got to settle in here and

Get some shots on the rim Richardson coming off the screen off the dribble and off the window Paige Beckers two for five so far in the ball game for Paige shade blocked cona been a big spark Off the Bench couldn’t hold on to it this is a group not much experience

In this type of situation with all the newcomers and what a job by Edwards and she goes down hard and she’s turned the ball over twice and she fumbled a two-on-one opportunity so she needs to settle in no matter how deep they go into the tournament this is what I wanted Duke to

Do from the very beginning in go inside to Kennedy Brown and challenge Edwards on the inside na Baseline nice slash to the basket for Beckers and one cheer up ladies we still got four minutes and 50 seconds to get you some highlights for the for halftime and let’s see out of the

Timeout if either side can get it going eight players where Yukon stuck with the same five but they’ve got to get into the depth of Yukon and they haven’t been able to do that yet and they have offensive rebounded half of them so they got to stay on the

Glass that one finds a way down for Edwards it’s not a big ISO ball team even late in the shot clock they might bring two to the ball but otherwise they move it Mule the nice pocket pass to Edwards and one i’ put ice breing as much ball

Screen action as possible Jackson no oh what a play by Paige Beckers to get the box out and then snag the loose ball and then feed it to KK [Applause] Arnold step back Jackson good first three of the game for either side Aaliyah Andrews in foul trouble she

Opens up this third quarter back out on the floor with three fouls the other see if Duke can try and wear him down a little bit in this second half Beckers will knock down her first shot attempted it’s a Duke held to just six baskets with 13 turnovers in the first

Half Kennedy Brown offensive rebound and a nice stick back you got to be aggressive in the Edwards matchup with those three fouls I think that’s the first low post bucket that Duke has had oh Becker heat check got ity all right those of you that stuck around

KK with the strip and the Breakaway for Arnold yon’s defense right here May’s got to be tighter with the basketball there again jumping over the top of the screen making sure that you go over so this is the most aggressive front line right here when you put Delany Thomas in

With her 63 frame and aowa who was very aggressive on the glass really good rebounding guard Arnold to the rim for the lay in makoa tough shot Edwards had it knocked loose aluchi gets into the defender see she’s an aggressive rebounder that’s why you Amir sitting

Over here not on that side Beckers gets a kind roll 17 now for Paige one of the quicker Defenders on the floor on her she still could shake them Beckers drains the inbound Hardley touched the rim on that one 19 now for Paige Beth mowen Debbie Antonelli Angel gray with

You here in Portland it has been a struggle for the Duke overs and while the offense is in front of Carol Lawson’s bench she’s going to try to take all the decision making out so they’re running some sets right now the last two sets they got good looks they

Caught the ball in a quality [Applause] catch mule three-pointer got it Richardson knocked Loose by Beckers esbo to the left for the turnaround final minute of this third quarter down for Donovan head up looking for a runner got to score right here Donovan kicks it out for May looking for three and it’s

Good Duke ended that third quarter on an 83 run to try and Chip Away backers 21 for Paige mbow with a nice catch and [Applause] finish Richardson finds a seim get ice Brady some good minutes right here to build a little confidence Arnold who’s scored in double

Digits spins and hits how about the footwork KK Arnold right here is going to turn the corner he’s going to get in the paint on the switch mb’s got this right that’s just beautiful playing off two feet using the pivot to reverse out Camila mbow it’s

Nicea around Becker Paige got a piece of it and mule has it they’re playing right now with two freshman and a red shirt freshman on the floor here’s one of them Arnold blocked five on the shot looking for Beckers taken away good read by Donovan Off to the

Races numbers for Duke the other way AOA never got a handle on it three on0 Brady and that’s going to be a terrific Showdown undefeated South Carolina and that well they do it on both ends of the floor in Oregon state with the defense drive and an and one opportunity here for

Uchi can Duke make a run AOA going to shoot free throws when we come back timeouts are going to be incredibly valuable for Connecticut here down the stretch they have three starters that have played every minute tonight Beckers gets a block underneath Yukon just runs false action takes time off the clock

Then they get inside the shot clock with three six of they have six shot clock blocked violation some of them sure but Richardson spins in the lane tough shot knocks it down pick up Full Court tiv Richardson with a nice spin move right here you but you all have fouls to give

You only have one team foul Arnold block duk’s got it the push Richardson On The Run Arnold block duk’s got it the push Richardson On The Run they swing it around for a Luchi three it’s in come on make sure they get a good shot the next possession here if they [Applause]

Can Edwards big got to give it to the Duke kids right they’re hanging in there Edwards drives Kennedy Brown back they had missed six shots in a row prior to that gives him a little more space under a minute to go [Applause] Brown Jackson launches short Beckers and a foul and that’s going to be on Kennedy Brown and that’ll get Aaliyah Edwards to the free throw line with 6 seconds to go and now the Husky fans are on their feet sensing that they are heading back to the Elite 8 and a date with

USC usually I say in a physical contest it’s a double ice bath game but I think you and I are going to need a double ice bath after this one double something but it uh it came down to a tight one at the finish at least after neither side could shoot it particularly

Well today but you know what for Connecticut as it stands put this one in the rear view mirror and get ready to face the Pack 12 Champions you know the most important thing Connecticut needs to do next is rest more important than the Reps when you’re short on [Applause]
