00:00All right, JY, let's dive into what we saw yesterday in the

00:03Women's National Championship game, and for the first time

00:06since 2016, but the 12th time in program history, UConn back on

00:12top of the sport. National Championship victory, number

00:1712, as the Huskies thoroughly dominant against the reigning

00:20National Title winners in South Carolina, 82-59, a 23-point

00:26win. Connecticut covers as a seven-and-a-half-point favorite,

00:29a total of 136-and-a-half, skies to the over. JY, after making

00:35Final Four history earlier in the weekend on Friday, winning

00:38by 34 against UCLA, largest margin of victory ever in a

00:43Women's Final Four game. They knock off the reigning champs

00:46in South Carolina by 23. How was UConn able to be so dominant

00:51throughout this big dance, resulting in National Championship

00:54number 12? Honestly, they just had to figure it out. I know

00:58they had some earlier losses, including a home one to USC,

01:02which I do believe may have been the last loss that they had

01:05in a regular season, but I was undeterred. I thought that this

01:09team was the best team in the country and you had to figure

01:11it out. You have to realize the fact of the injuries that Paige

01:14Beckers has had over the career, the fact that AZ Fudd missed

01:17last year, Chen Trench was in from Princeton. He's got to

01:20figure that out, right? And Sarah Strong is a freshman. You

01:23just have to kind of get them all kind of figuring it out

01:27offensively. I think what you saw Ben was a team that was all

01:31on all cylinders. Now, the thing with the biggest takeaway

01:34for me was it wasn't Sunday. It was Friday and AZ Fudd showed

01:40up Friday night versus UCLA. And once I saw that Ben, there

01:44was no doubt in my mind that they were going to get the win.

01:47Remember, they went to South Carolina earlier in the year,

01:49broke their home winning streak and beat him by 30. So I wasn't

01:53shocked. Now, I was shocked about how bad the score was, but

01:57wasn't shocked by the winning a cover by UConn because once AZ

02:02gets going, especially from and she wasn't even going from

02:04three, pull up game, get to the rack, whatever you need. Now,

02:08Paige doesn't have to carry all of it, all of it.

02:11Chen can become a little bit more of a point guard and Sarah

02:13Strong could be the best freshman in the country. So

02:15once you got those three going, there was nothing that South

02:20Carolina could do to stop them, nor does South Carolina have

02:25the offensive firepower to go against that. What's that game

02:29sort of getting up in numbers? You saw a dot at about 5339.

02:34You see all this social media going nuclear on the sideline.

02:38Honestly, Ben, when that happened, you knew that game was

02:41over.
