Paige Bueckers and Aaliyah Edwards Lead ‘Tired’ UConn as Surging Comeback from Duke Shocks Fans

Duke made one hell of a comeback when they took over Ohio State in the second round about a week back. However, in today’s clash, it seemed like they did not even try to win against UConn. Suspicious much? The Blue Devils did not suit up for tonight’s game as well as they should have. Paige Bueckers dropped 24 and Aaliyah Edwards, with her ability to check both offensive and defensive fronts for the Huskies, also ensured a smart win.

The Blue Devils came with heat entering the last ten minutes of the game. But it was too late for them even after grabbing 7 more points than the Huskies. Aaliyah Edwards ended the game with 12 points and 7 rebounds in her name. At the same time, Paige Bueckers brought 24 points and 5 rebounds to the Huskies’ total tonight.

Certainly, despite winning 45-53 and reserving their seats to their 28th regional finals opposing USC, UConn did not entertain the spectators at Moda Center. Following the same, fans are reacting to this cool-as-ice win with mixed feelings. Let us see what they have to say.

Fans react to Duke vs Paige Bueckers’ UConn

Basketball followers entered Portland to watch some steamy game. However, all they grabbed was some cool air. Further, the Huskies’ people did not back down from comparing Bueckers’ stats to the entire Lady Dukes’ scores.

A fan also appreciated how Paige Bueckers handled the game on her terms, setting the tone from the get-go.

However, the theory remains that you cannot please everyone. The same could be seen under the post in the comments section where the majority of the people seemed displeased with how non-exciting the game was, not fitting well into the March Madness theme.

A few fans commented that the game was so boring that no team should get past this point.

On another note, a bunch of Duke followers that probably slipped away from the game were surprised to see Duke getting back into their form.

It will be interesting to see how UConn finally brings out their best as they enter Elite 8 and face none other than JuJu Watkins and her Trojans. Do you think they can move ahead in the game?
