Message: [QUOTE="Surly1, post: 4951124, member: 11599"] I feel there is a narrative that's been missing with the endless coverage of Paige vs Caitlin and who is the better player. Caitlin became a first-name phenomenon after a spectacular run in last year's tourney, capped by a legendary performance and win against an undefeated SC team. She is a highlight reel due to her out of the area code shooting and transition passing. On the other hand, while Paige has her highlight moments, her game is nuanced and more wide ranging. What goes unmentioned is, like Clark last year, Paige has elevated her level from the Big East tourney on. Just take a look at her numbers in the last 7 games - scoring, rebounding, assists, steals and block number are up. Basically, she is doing it all for UConn, much like Clark did last season and in their last 2 games against Colorado & LSU. I listened to Shannon Sharpe on First Take the other day talk about Paige. While I rarely agree with what he has to say, I fully concur with his take on Paige. He said that as great as Paige is playing now, just wait until next year when that extra 10% comes back in her recovery process. However, the nation might not have to wait until next year. Paige is on a mission, and I believe she is going to author her way into UConn lore with a game for the ages tonight. [/QUOTE]
