I'm guessing getting the number 5 jersey on any UConn BB team is going to be challenge in upcoming years. 😇

This is great! I almost forgot that Castle was the ROY in the NBA. Congrats to both of them, and a great advertisement for UConn to continue to produce elite talent for both men and women...

Leave it to ESPN to not mention that she was also awarded the 2025 Wade Trophy POY and Honda Sports Awards. The top 2 awards given out after the National Championship Game.

And take away from their excellent graphic work melding the uniforms together? 😉

I am a huge Citron fan but I can't think of any way to justify picking her over Paige.

In the stats I posted earlier in this thread, the ONLY statistic that Citron beat out Paige was 3 point shooting %. Apparently that is the ONLY metric those 2 voters looked at, and it was lazy voting to say the least.
 
As I've mentioned on this forum many a time, I've been a huge fan of Paige Buckets since early in her high school career, watching games online. A little bit ago, I was looking at MaxPreps and found that she scored 8.9 points per game and 3.9 rebounds per game... In 8th grade!

And it's not like she was on a desperate-for-players team... They went 29-3 that year.

I just hope the Wings can find some good roster mates for next year... And I also hope no player strike happens.

Also, I heard a side comment during the playoffs tonight that some positive things have happened on the labor front. Hope that works out!!

Just a minor oversight by ESPN? We all have seen how much ESPN, a Disney company, is heavily invested in Caitlin. There is a clear difference in ESPN's level of investment and media attention given to Clark vs Bueckers. ESPN has their obvious bias toward Clark. It's been covered pretty extensively on this forum and there shouldn't even be an argument about that based on the media attention they give Clark vs Bueckers but after all the back and forth as there surely will be by Clark fans I'll go with Geno's opinion: Bueckers is a better and "more unguardable' player. But that isn't going to change ESPN so there's no need even looking for it.

While I have always stated my belief that you start your team with Paige over CC because Paige elevates her teammates like no one else, I’m not particularly fond of the “either/or” nature of the comparisons between Paige & CC. I think both are great players. I look forward to seeing them compete against each other for years in the W, while also bringing home a bunch of Olympic gold medals together as the backcourt for Team USA.

This is regarding the graphic post by social media right? Do they not have the right to some artistic license with respect to the visual they want to publish? The reason I ask is that I don't see this as a slight the same way others have.

Plus, ESPN did a fair bit of coverage on Paige winning the award plus her season performance throughout the day when it was announced. All of ESPNs shows talked about it, and there was coverage on SportsCenter that evening.

CC elevated her teammates to lead the Fever to their first playoff in 8 years..Mitchell and Boston had career years because of Clark
