Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 3903999, member: 3834"] This is yet another thing that puzzles me to no end and will probably result in universal criticism. Although, in the case of a head to head one on one matchup, I would probably bet on Paige, this almost cult like insistence that Paige is, not just better, but waaaaay better than Clark, is very puzzling to me. Is it simply because she plays at UConn? I think Paige is great, of course, a truly gifted player who may well be better than Clark. However, it’s certainly not a slam dunk! Clark has put up numbers as a freshman that have rarely been seen. The most common reason these people cite is that Iowa is not a “top” team. While that is true, it is certainly not because of Clark. She has done all she can do to raise that team to a higher level. All I can say is that if you switched them I am not convinced either team would look a whole lot different than they do now. Having said all that, I am soooo glad we have Paige and I wouldn’t trade her for anyone (including Clark). I just think we sometimes act as though acknowledging someone else’s greatness somehow diminishes our own and that is simply not true. [/QUOTE]
