Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4612788, member: 7511"] Again, watch Paige take it to the rim against Boston & SC or against Brink & Stanford and perhaps you may need to reconsider your comment about Paige’s ability to attack the basket. But you have introduced another consideration all together. That Paige isn’t Clark’s equal because she’s been injured. That’s a bit of a cheap shot and your suggestion that “people believe” it takes two years to get back from an ACL tear hasn’t been true for 10-20 years. Surgical techniques and rehab have advanced light years in the last decade, and Paige will have had 15 months from her injury to her first game next season. I was reluctant to bring this up, but since we’re “cherry-picking” information to support our respective positions. There was one game, in the Sweet 16 of their freshmen seasons, when Paige and UConn matched up against Clark and Iowa. Clark outscored Paige 21-18. But after that, Paige was the best player on the court by far, outshooting Clark and besting her in: rebounds 9-2, assists 8-5 and fewer turnovers 2-5. Oh, and by the way, UConn won by 20 points. In any event, we will have to disagree on this subject. We are talking about two great players. It is my sincere hope that we get to see both of them next season, fully healthy, matched up against each other. [/QUOTE]
