Message: [QUOTE="CTtoSanDiego, post: 4271868, member: 8375"] I love Paige. I love so much about watching her play: the way she moves (shifty, slithering); the way she shoots (swish!); her constant hustle (diving to the floor twice last game with her bum knee, and nearly giving most of us Boneyarders a heart attack!); her unbridled enthusiasm (that wide open mouth reminds me of the creature from Aliens); and the way she passes and loves making her teammates better. I love reading about Paige, about what an amazing, generous human being she seems is. All her NIL's have some kind of social purpose connected to them. Diana didn't have to worry about such things, though I'm sure she would have been in demand. Geno has said repeatedly that Paige is “special” and that she has the “clutch gene." Even on a terrible shooting night, like against TN last year, with the shot clock running down and the game on the line, swish! After Monday's epic Elite Eight game, Christyn used a paraphrase of Geno’s old line about Diana when she said “we have Paige Beuckers and they don’t.” So, is Paige really Diana 2.0? Diana carried two somewhat undermanned teams on her back to two national championships, with her play and her force of will. Can Paige do the same this year? I think this team has more talent than DT’s, but the opponents are probably also more talented than the ones DT played against. So, we are about to find out. As far as I’m concerned, though I wish for another NC (12 is such a nicer number than 11), I’m just going to enjoy watching Paige play for as long as we have her. I hope that will be at least 2 more years… and maybe 3. And if we do manage to win the NC this year against the odds, I’ll be willing to believe that Paige is Diana’s secret “love child.” J [/QUOTE]
