Paige and Geno humor

[CL82]

Did anyone notice the look in Christyn's eyes during the whole game, especially on defense. I've never seen in all these years that look during an entire game. She was sooooo locked in. Who couldn't help be impressed with her performance. So happy for her!

This. She was laser focused and as intense as I’ve ever seen.

Geno Auriemma on Paige Bueckers: 'She never passes up an opportunity to let me know when I'm wrong'​

Sorry to veer back on topic.

I saw a longer clip. Jamelle was not looking at Geno when Paige did it ... I don't think she saw it. It looks like CD did and she got right up out of her chair headed for Geno.

Yeah, I noticed CD, too. She had the perfect angle to see it all and she definitely reacted "just in case". She's had plenty of experience doing that over the years. In the replay that had Rebecca and crew laughing, the network slowed down the action to about half speed - which they often do in sports replays. It makes Coach's reaction look longer and more dramatic than it probably actually was. If you go back and look at the full speed, live action in the game just after Paige's "little tap" his glance back at Paige was much quicker. So it looked more dramatic than it actually was. But all the same, that's probably the most unique relationship in sports today. It's the Geno and Paige Variety Hour and a real ratings winner. As fans, we're in for a really special run for the next several years.

My impression of Paige is what a remarkably mature and incredibly well spoken young woman. Pair that with the playfulness to tap Geno and she is one fantastic package. The manner in how she conducts herself before the press and the sometimes boring and open ended questions from the media I found impressive. No ducking, no hemming and hawing, articulate, well beyond most 19 year olds. She gives credit to God, parents, coaching, team and it's real. Will so enjoy following her for three more years.
