The thing we’ve misplaced

[The CDR-Ret]

Oh yee of lil faith.
Of course, we're a FF team.
Of course, we have a better-than-good chance of winning it all.
And, of course, Paige will likely be the MVP.
I know:
Yes, our bigs need to improve. They will.
Yes, our D needs to get better. It will, even if Aubrey isn't able to be her former self.
Yes, our offense needs to run more efficiently. It will, especially if Azzi recovers her rhythem and Audrey adds some zip to our fastbreak with steals and rebounds.
Yes, we will because IN GENO AND CD WE TRUST!!!

The only adjustment that I would make to your predictions is that Sarah Strong might be the MOP of the FF

Paige is a great player but Hidalgo and juju
We’re clearly the best players in the recent games

That’s an apples to oranges comparison. Was Paige more tightly guarded than the others? Was the quality of the defense against her better? If so, then what’s the comparison?

Could be!!

Paige makes everyone on her team better. Paige is also the most
"overdefended" and one of the most "physically" defended players.
"IF" Geno got balanced scoring in those two losses ... My belief is
that two out of three returning "injury" players will turn the switch for
the UCONN offense and defense.... to be continue... let's watch and see!

Excellent! All comparisons are somewhat tainted unless all the variables are held absolutely steady. That's part of the reason why I scratch my head sometimes reading the "Game Analysis" thread. It seems to rely too much on comparative statistics. Also explains why some alleged high school super stars turn out to be just good players in college. (UConn got a couple of them, but I won't name names.)

On the flip side, beating up on inferior competition doesn't mean you are inferior.

I’m not comparing just stating the obvious
Hidalgo controlled the game and was the most dominant player in the game

Juju dominated the game in the first half both
Offensively and defensively ( her defense on Paige when she guarded her was extraordinary)

When UConn took a one point lead late in the
Game she made an and one 3 pt play and
Took control of the game

Fortunately, there is room in WBB for many great players. Paige, Hannah, Olivia, JuJu and Clark offer team
USA a promising future backcourt.

It seemed to me that while UConn was coming back from 18 down, Paige looked pretty good.

Of course she did. She’s a great player.
Unfortunately, what I posted it was taken seems by some as a denigration of Paige
Was just trying to point out that there are some other great players and very good teams
And for what it’s worth in my humble opinion
Sarah, strong will be the best out of all of them by the time she graduates
