Message: [QUOTE="Surly1, post: 4912337, member: 11599"] I agree that JuJu passes the eye test. She & Madison Booker possess a unique skill set and will help continue to revolutionize the women's game. However, it does appear that the season is taking the sting out of her game. Ironically, of the 5 listed as ESPN's All-Americans, only Paige produced higher than average statistical numbers. While Caitlin showed her clutch ability in the second half against Nebraska, she did not shoot particularly well, especially from 3-pt during the Big Ten tourney. However, she compensated with double digit assists in two games. Likewise, Cam Brink, JuJu & Hannah did not shoot well from the field either. In JuJu's case, she had 19 turnovers compared to 5 assists and shot less than 30%. She's been asked to carry the load for USC and it may have caught up with her. Hannah may have been slightly off shooting, but she was her usual dervish self on defense and took care of the ball. In contrast, Paige put up some of her best numbers over the 3-game. Her scoring was complimented by 25 rebounds, 12 blocked shots and at least 3 steals each game while not committing a single foul. Oh, she shot 12-24 from 3-pt land. While doubters will point out that the Big East is not as strong as the Big Ten, ACC or Pac-12, Paige's performance over the tourney lets the nation know that she's returned and ready to reassume her place and reputation amongst the best in the nation.
