She looked involved and displayed the type of emotion that seemed to be missing earlier in the season. She is so smooth on the court and if she was so inclined, given her offensive skill set, she could easily average 30 per game. Had she not been injured her sophomore year, she would own the record for fastest player to 1000 points in UConn history. When healthy, she is a consistent 20+ per game scorer in addition to the other tangible & intangible assets she brings. Today, she appeared to be operating at a level above every other player on the court. I have to give a shout out to KK today. She was not intimidated covering a 4-year starter in Deja Kelly, and they had an ongoing war throughout. She gave as well as she took, and there could have been fouls called on every play. Kelly could easily have had 5 offensive fouls. NC plays ugly and it affected UConn at times, but this was an earned victory. As much as I would like to see Paige take more shots, it's hard to argue with her level of efficiency. Lastly, it might take Big East games to get Ice Brady going. She needs a couple of games to build her confidence and get some rhythm. Right now, it's a rude welcome to the big leagues. She's taking her lickings, but hopefully she'll come out stronger on the other end. [/QUOTE]
