Top 10 Players in Women’s College Basketball History

These lists are fun, but they also lose all respect & seriousness when names like Lusia Harris, Anne Meyers, and Nancy Lieberman are left off. Heck the writer(s) couldn't even show some love to Lynette Woodard? Before there was Jackie, Kelsey, and Caitlin, Ms. Woodard was putting up points without the 3-point line. No love for Anne Donovan? Lisa Leslie? Tamika Catchings? The McGee Twins? Chamique Holdsclaw?

Well it's not supposed to be taken seriously. After all it's MSN, synonymous with clickbait. The writer is probably about 25 yo and has never heard of any of these players. Research and journalism are not words they are familiar with.
 
I will make this case for Paige, and it's not conclusive by any means, but in terms of stats, she belongs right up there with Maya. If you adjust for the 31 more games Maya (and the other UConn GOATs played in), Paige is the scoring champ and is very close to Maya in most other categories (Assists, Steals, Blocks, etc). As for the rest, Breanna Dee Phee, they're GOATs in my book, always will be, but the line forms behind Maya and Paige. And I'm keeping a place warm for Sarah even now.

This is only a UConn list, but being at or near the top of the UConn pantheon has to mean she belongs near the top of the WCBB pantheon.

And a side note for those folks who insist that Clark be appended to Paige's star at every opportunity I can only say, Pffffffffft. If Paige had played 4 injury free years, she'd have eclipsed Clark every season just like she did as a freshman, and I'm pretty sure she'd have won at least one more NC.


Pot officially stirred.
