Paige at Harvard tonight

[oldude]

So I’m watching the Ivy League WBB tournament semifinal game between Columbia & Yale. The Lions are burying the Eli 44-16 in the 3rd period.

The camera cuts to the stands, and there’s Paige taking in the game. Anyone have any idea if Paige has some connection to anyone on one of the Ivy teams?

You remember how the Soviets would send KGB operatives with their athletes competing abroad?
Suddenly I like the sound of that just about now.

Of course it wouldn't hurt to put in a good word to a certain Princeton player to perhaps come and check Uconn out as a grad student next season.

I suppose Paige & Azzi could be there to watch Ivy POY Abby Meyers of Princeton, who put up 22pts & 7 rbs in the 1st semifinal win over Harvard.

Meyers, a 6’ senior guard, is listed in the transfer portal…..

I would assume they are there to watch Azzi old teammate.

 

[Bigboote]

Geno probably sent them there to scout the possible 15 seed in their bracket.

Azzi is very close friends with her former highschool PG who now attends Columbia.

Azzi and Carly played together for 6 years or so as kids. When Azzi won the NPOY awards as a sophomore, Carly was her point guard. She's diminutive, but very solid. Carly is 26th in the nation at 5.3 apg. Columbia is a much improved team.

Now that’s what I call interesting!!

I'm sure they are just there to support their friend, take a break from playing and eat some arena popcorn. Combined they are worth millions. Send those two to any game and there's publicity.

I did not think the Ivy League had a post-season tourney.

Sometimes you just can't get enough basketball.

I did not think the Ivy League had a post-season tourney.

Started a few years ago, and only the top 4 teams qualify.

 

[Skeets]

Paige is one of UConn's best recruiters. Just ask Azzi.

 

[HopJim]

Always concerned about Covid when I see members of the team in big crowds.

 

[MSGRET]

Let's stick to basketball and leave the other stuff out of here. This is about Paige and Azzi being at the Princeton game. I wonder if they are going to be there for the championship game in Cambridge or be back in Storrs and watch it on ESPN News.

Another fine example of why opening a thread is like a box of chocolates

 

[EdSaid]

So when I read this thread I thought I don't want to stir the S storm. Yeah right, sure I do.

I had two very different, more important thoughts.

1. Did they eat at Chipotle before and after the game? There are two Chipotles in Cambridge and seven in the greater Boston area. What did they have to eat?

2. The more important question is, where was Nika?

Carla’s Princeton Tigers won the Ivy Tournament and are going dancing!

Thanks….I am with you

Watched this game to root for Carlas team, as well as taking a look at Abby Meyers. Classified as a PG, but rarely had the ball in her hands unless someone passed her the ball to shoot. Good pull-up, gets off the three very quickly. If we are going after an additional guard next season, IMHO, she is not the one. She has nothing on our girls. and as I already mentioned, rarely had the ball in her hands. The real deal is the true PG, Kaitlyn Chen. This girl was outstanding, looked for her shot like a senior, can shoot from anywhere, she will be a star in any league. She is an academic Sophomore, but a freshman athletically since they cancelled their season last year. I would take her. LOL

I watched also and whoever has Princeton better not overlook them they are a very fundamental team that can play both sides of the floor, has the shooters, plus Chen showed that she can play the game. As I stated earlier I hope that if the Tigers are in Storrs next week, they get past their first round opponent so UConn can play against a former player.

Watching Princeton is akin to watching a smaller Uconn team. The players never stop moving, passing is sharp and it is kick-out after kick-out. Carla Berube has done a heck of a job.
