Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4327624, member: 7511"] I don’t know that Paige necessarily “deferred” to the seniors on the team. As others have pointed out, Paige has been UConn’s leader on the court since the day she arrived. She is also a “team” player with a tremendous basketball IQ. As such she knows that the path to any championship requires everyone on the team to be involved. I will reference one play vs NC State in the Elite 8 game as an example. At the start of the game, Christyn passed up an open 3 at the top of the key to pass to Paige on the wing. As soon as the ball hit Paige’s hands, she fired it back to Christyn who set herself and knocked down the 3. Of course Paige was tremendous in the 4th qtr and 2 overtimes of one of the most competitive WBB games I’ve ever seen. But everyone on the team was involved and contributed to the victory. [/QUOTE]
