Paige Bueckers AP National Player of the Year

[DefenseBB]

Congratulations to Paige and the whole team who have given all us such joy this season and something to truly watch and enjoy during this unprecedented time.

Her stats were unreal, her clutch performances were spectacular and the transformation she's given Geno to truly enjoy this group and what she's given us has been utterly remarkable. We not only appreciate her, but all the team with how they have accepted and evolved and tout "team first" at every opportunity and don't shrink from the moment. She's elevated all our games and our vibs!

CONGRATULATIONS PAIGE BUECKERS! Well done, I say, well done!

The article says she was informed about this on Monday which seems to mean she knew about it before the Baylor Game. To have that amazing news and still keep her emotions so she could play her most important game at an elite level is astonishing to me.

Congratulations to Paige.
Hope this award does not provide an extra incentive for Boston to raise her game against us.

Post players can only do so much. As long as we do not have foul trouble, we will be fine.

Someone check on Debbie Antonelli.

Can’t wait to hear who Debbie Antonella thinks got robbed by Paige!!

 

[AmeriConn]

It would be nice for Paige to hear from Lebron James, Jay Bilas, and all the other critics out there.

I think she has said she would vote for Dana Evans

Even NCAA Espana picked up the moment, in their tweet.

So well deserved! An amazing player and seems to be an even better human!

 

[hoopsfan22]

This one is nice, but there's one other trophy I really really want to see her holding over the next few days.

Someone must be cutting some onions in my house right now - stop it...!!!!!

Here's what I think Antonelli would say, " In my opinion, Caitlin Clark is much better and should have won this. She only won because she plays in a weak league. In fact, Uconn only gets to the final 4 because they get the best players and play in a weak league. The last play was a foul and Baylor got robbed. Did I mention that Uconn plays in a weak league???"

 

[RockyMTblue2]

So a couple, three Huskies won it twice? I need more coffee.

 

[Wink96]

I could not be happier!

Hey Scud49, join the club. You're not alone. ? What we saw there was genuine. How can you not love a "group hug"? Did you notice who she was sitting at the table with?

 

[DefenseBB]

Guessing Boston got the 3 for 3td place

Nevermind. Boston got 0.

 

[huskeynut]

WOW and EXCELLENT!!!!!

It's all been said. Congratulations Paige.

What a wonderful young lady!!! We as UConn fans have been blessed to have her as a Husky.

I have to spare a word for the team dynamic, as we've seen plainly in this and other videos. It's something truly special, even by UConn's standards, which have set the bar.

Paige is a remarkable human being. The way she's taken the reins of this team, and the way her teammates have rallied behind her, is something remarkable. The love and tight-knit quality is palpable.

Not many can break down in tears in thanking teammates and coaches one moment and then spin out of it humorously like she's splitting a double team. Well done Paige. I love this team.

 

[Sched234]

The right player won. Congrats from a South Carolina fan, Paige!

 

[Carnac]

......and to think THIS season was the worst she'll play during her career. Hard to imagine she's going to get better, but she will. What is she going to look like going into her junior year?

 

[Plebe]

Okay seriously, whoever voted for Howard and Collier need to have their driver's licenses immediately suspended because clearly they can't see.

But enough of that. Back to my celebrating Paige.
