Agreed.  I think we all want to assume Husky greatness next season, but..... Paige indeed was "the straw that stirs the drink," in more ways than one, and it's not going to be a matter of just picking up where they just left off in the title game.  Every season is a new challenge of blending continuing plus new pieces, both skills-wise and personality-chemistry wise.   Paige was masterful not only at playing the game on the court but in making them a team, in the psychological/emotional sense -- or, to put it another way, in being an emotional force, which is just as important.  As Geno said right after the NC game, somewhere along the line late in the season, their team bond deepened, and that's when the switch flipped to their even higher level of play.  Let's hope that somebody else can nurture that next season.  Sarah is a great, great on-court player, but I don't see her being vocal enough (at least not yet) to be that emotional force for the team.
