Found a team worse than us at FT shooting

I saw your sister at Pet therapy this week. How does she keep her coat so shiny?

She might not end up as the UConn Women’s GOAT but shows enough, and enough arguements I’ve seen so far that she sure deserves to be in the conversation so far. Worst game of her career nearly being a triple double as a freshmen is something you can live with.

No one else should read about it either!"​

Mmm, or maybe yes?


After struggling all night with her shot, getting a sprained ankle bad enough for her leave game to get taped, coming back and telling Geno to put her back in the game, she sinks a dagger as the 30 second clock hits zero.

Sounds kind of Taurasian to me.

That might be the worst the women play all year and it was a gutsy ass win against a ranked team on primetime ESPN. Not even close to the men

Why? Long way to go I agree but she’s an excellent basketball player. Can’t let a bad shooting night take away from what else she does out there. I liked the fact that despite not making shots she wasn’t backing down offensively. Rebounds and assist numbers great then the dagger on one ankle? SpeciaI

Point on Mau. Didn’t have to hear Geno say her offense was terrible so that carried over to her defense. If it did the young lady would have found a seat real fast. Plus I recall Diana have a few clunker games. Not many but a few

I wasn’t impressed. Although that was the first women’s game I watched this year. Still not impressed.

Turasi was special. Time will tell. I’m not impressed from what I saw.

Your call. A lot more to the game than just making shots. One would be making THE big shot when not shooting well. As i said long way to go and also the first game I’ve been able to watch but I was impressed. Not saying Diana yet but I can see it for sure.

She just dropped 32 and 30 then back to back games as a freshman. I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen very often.

And did it on a combined 25-38 from the field, including 11-15 on 3's.

Her last 4 games she's shooting 19-25 from downtown. She's over 57% from 3 on the year.

These aren't some James Harden stat lines where she's getting a million free throws. She's pouring in buckets, including a ridiculous reverse layup tonight.

Compare the numbers to DT's freshman numbers and you will see that your take is way off:

PB
20.4 points, 5.7 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 2.3 steals
DT
10.9 Points, 3.3 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals

And somehow you are not impressed with Paige Bueckers. Insanity at its best.

Taurasi had a much better team around her (in fact, she didn't even start until forced to by injuries), so it's not entirely a fair comparison.

Context always matters, but at some point the numbers get so eye-popping that no mitigating factors (aside from injuries to Taurasi) could lead one astray from the conclusion that Bueckers is having a vastly better freshman season. Keep in mind, her PPG has risen since these stats were originally posted.

Not saying Bueckers is better than Taurasi, but I am saying that I take freshman Bueckers over freshman Taurasi 10 times out of 10 if I am building a hypothetical dream team.

(Edited for spelling. Thanks @Waquoit)
