She’s Back - Paige Available vs. St. John's [merged thread]

I will be there even if the state closes I84 (I've done it before).

As far as some who think Paige shouldn't play, I said this once and I'll say it again, a ship is safe in port, but that's not why the ship was built.

You may have said it, but I’m pretty sure John Shedd said it first

Last 'contribution' from me here: Sanago return?...I don't think so.
That big win we had over 'Nova...important game/exciting...was there an OT thread on that
on the women's board....yes.

As oft-reported on both sides: the OT intro kind of gives a hint to those who do not care...certainly not a requirement
to be a fan of both teams...just possible.

Nothing wrong or incorrect in your statement.

Just NOT. The place, the time, the context, or the forum for it.

I don't understand. Seriously, I don't. Please explain.
 
If she hasn’t been “winning” practice, you know showing hustle, chasing down rebounds and loose balls, etc then would coaching staff let her play? I hope she has showed she can handle practice and not just shooting drills, running to a spot, etc.
 
Paige has an extremely high amount of faith that helps to shape her future outlook.
She strongly believes in God's plan that everything happens for a reason.
It's part of her mantra.

This is this season's first medical adjustment I've been happy about.

A couple of months ago I posted this comment:

"I've started thinking of this season as an egg salad sandwich. I like bread but I hate egg salad. We started this season looking scary good. That's the bread on the top of the sandwich. And with Paige and the other walking wounded projected to return by February we may finish this season looking scary good. That's the bread on the bottom of the sandwich. But for now, we just have to eat our way through the egg salad in the middle".

Well, it looks like we've finally finished the last of the nasty egg salad and it's all going to be delicious going forward. And a lot of us are looking forward to the feast.

Some of us Husky fans actually like egg salad.

No...at least from my point of view. If the mods switch it over....that's fine.
I sometimes harbor the delusion that most UConn fans root for both teams...one more
strongly that the other...but are fans of /interested in significant events of both teams.
Men's team posts occasionally appear on the women's board....as OT posts.
Hope that is permissable...even appreciated... on this side.

Go Huskies!

No, you're right. It's not a delusion. Some people root for both. That's why there's a women's board too.

I need to start resurrecting my Hartford homicide schtick now that people have gotten more murder-y the last couple months.
 
If you think she hasnt been practicing with the team and is ready for tonite thats fine. However we have not been privy to much this season so I would tend to think she has for at least the past 5 practices and shes ready to go. Remember Geno saying about Azzi she will need at least 5 practices and then without any notice Azzi was in a game. We knew nothing and we didnt see it coming. Tonite is the nite.

For our opponents Welcome to your Nitemare

Agree 100%. And, as important tonight's game is to see how she looks on the court, even more so is tomorrow, to see how her knee reacts to actual game situation.

I went up to Hartford for Sunday and yesterday, to see the team play and hopefully see Paige play. She was without her brace on Sunday and was in uniform last night. My timing was off by 2 days. Darn!!

Best wishes, Paige! We love you and are thrilled to hear this good news.

The 2021-22 season starts for real tomorrow!

Just keep finding players like AZZI FUDD then you and I shall be perpetually happy.

I assume Paige will come off the bench on Friday. I honestly don’t care if she turns it over half a dozen times and she can’t hit the broad side of a barn shooting it. But the thrill that UConn fans will collectively feel when she takes off her warmups, heads over to the scoring table and checks into the game will be unbelievable.

I like your personal positive thoughts on Paige. Paige will have the typically honeymoon turnovers or not. Paige will get a lot of love from Uconn fans regardless of her turnovers or bad plays. Personally, I hope this is love without end if anyone has earned it, she has.
Lucky for her and us, the growth of Caroline, Azzi, Nika, along with the Seniors has developed a good team. Paige will make them great again.
