Message: [QUOTE="Surly1, post: 4820330, member: 11599"] I have to disagree with you regarding Paige. For the season, she's averaging close to 20 pts per game, shooting 52.4% overall, 47.1% from 3-pt land and shooting 80% from the foul line. If we look at individual games, she's averaging almost 24 against the top tier teams (NC St, MD, UCLA, Kansas, Texas & NC). The only game where she didn't score 20 was against Texas. In games versus Dayton, Minnesota & Ball St, where she wasn't needed, she put up 8, 12 & 15 respectively. So, she clearly wasn't padding her numbers. Additionally, there have been only 2 games where she's taken more than 15 shots. Furthermore, Paige is only going to improve after missing the previous season. As her teammates get acclimated to her, the team will get better. I expect to see more of her deadly pull-up jumper as the season progresses, and she'll continue to pick her spots against better competition to score more. By the end of the season, can you envision another guard, besides Caitlin, who should be on the first-team All-American? UConn will win the Big East and still has showcase games against ND & SC for Paige to remind the country that she has returned. [/QUOTE]
