Message: [QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 3872898, member: 175"] Not really. We couldn’t find anybody in any class who ever had a crunch time performance for us like Paige did against SC. In the big picture, we were frankly backsliding as a program coming into this year pretty significantly (ended last year No. 5 with three blowout losses and lost our two best players), and she lifted us back up to No. 1. Her freshman season has been historically good. I doubt she can match what Breanna did for a postseason as a freshman (if she does - wow). But Breanna wasn’t even All-Big East during the regular season (she was honorable mention, but not one of the 22 All-Big East picks). As a full body of work, I don’t think Paige’s freshman year can be touched except by Maya. It’s fair to argue she didn’t have the load to carry with Renee as an AA junior point guard and Tina as an AA forward, but it’s also fair to argue that Paige lost some strength of schedule without having to face Louisville and Baylor and maybe didn’t get tested as often.
