Last year's X factor that they are missing if they run into one of the other 4 good teams. PB looks like she's put on 10 lbs of strength to go with her elite talent and she's taking her place as an ass kicker.

She also won the free throw challenge. 50k coming her way. Good for her.

What is the challenge?
The player with the highest FT% through 5 games wins a $50K prize (minimum 5 FTA). Paige was first, 13/13.
Had she missed today, Tip Hayes was next in line followed by Azura Stevens.

Watching the game last night my thought of Paige was: It's about freakin time. Paige was on the entire game, going after her shot on every possession. It's a good thing as her teammates had a collective bad game, missing a lot of lay-ups. It reminded me of the Oklahoma game last year when she was the only player that was having a good game. Paige stepped up then and stepped up last night. Good for her.

Knowing Paige some or all of that 50K will be spread around to some of her neediest cases and contributions. She is a model for all to follow, not just young women.

Looks like she’ll be putting (up to) $50K to good use. Paige is truly 1 of 1.

Without a doubt, Paige is one of the best human beings in this country. As a UConn fan I am so proud of her as a person as well as a great basketball player. God bless her.
UCONN in the house!
