Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 5200804, member: 10435"] I think EricLa and Oldude nailed it about the game. I was there and as is my custom when I watch the team live, I tend to focus on Paige when she is on defense. What you don't see in the box score are the number of shots that don't get taken by her man because of textbook switches and defense. She had a great game and those two off balance double pump jumpers with the "and one" were just shake your head crazy. I've said it before and I will say it again-go see her play in person. You will be seeing one of the greatest all-around players ever in women's college basketball. She played tonight like she will have to play at times in the Big Dance, taking the game over when we couldn't get traction. While Chen and Shade had strong games, it was Aubrey who made the biggest strides. She was tentative on offense against SC but once she got going tonight she was the dominant player on the floor. Perfect from the field. She is a one man zone press and she does so many little things out there especially around loose balls, it's like there is magnetic pull into her hands. Jana and KK both relapsed out there. KK did not look up court first when she got the ball, and on one occasion Sarah was 20 feet ahead of her with a clear path. Jana will not go straight up with the ball, she insists on trying to dribble to the right side and her timing was very off tonight. Azzi was just not a factor although her defense as always was excellent. So they did have a letdown after SC which was to be expected. The big takeaway though tonight was that Paige took total ownership of the team and that only can mean great things for us. [/QUOTE]
