Message: [QUOTE="LwrcasefaN, post: 4133397, member: 11185"] OK....asked and answered. She won once...and it wasn't because it wasn't a TEAM effort. She "woulda" won twice if not for COVID. I'll accept that if people accept SC has two National Championships...if not for Covid. My point is...this Uconn team has issues and even Paige Beuckers can't fix all of that. If she played in the GT game...Uconn would have won more than likely, but is that a fix or a bandaid? Every team has injuries, granted Uconn currently has a lot, with the remaining players...and GT being a good defensive team...scoring a handful of points in the 4th quarter (not the first time) points to some other fixes...not named Paige. The ultimate goal is a championship and I haven't seen any player in WCBB do that by themselves. I also don't think it's because Uconn players don't have the talent. They obviously do. I think they just haven't figured out how to cover the deficiencies like speed, athleticism, (conditioning?) and rebounding. They'll figure it out and in the process might lose more games. NO TEAM ever has had all the bases covered and that's the beauty in coaching. Winning with what you got! Paige is part of the answer...not the SOLUTION. If fans are honest with themselves...they often have unrealistic expactations...usually driven by emotions. So do players...so people should ease up. They lost two games and people are just losing it. Some on here should not watch today's game alone...especially if they lose. lol They were competitive for 3 quarters in both losses...one which was the #1 team. Losing doesn't feel good, but it can be a motivator. [/QUOTE]
