Message: [QUOTE="The deacon, post: 5156838, member: 11559"] I liked your post, Oldude, but was very sorry to see you fall prey to that age-old BY habit of dragging down Caitlin Clark to build up Paige. That's too bad. Caitlin was certainly not a defensive stalwart in her freshman season, and even into her sophomore season, but anyone who watched her play most of her games, as I did, recognized the effort she made to improve, and how her play on D became an integral part of the Hawkeyes' success that led to back-to-back NCAA title game runs. If she were such a slouch on defense, and had an aversion to running, how do you explain that she guarded other teams' perimeter players and yet averaged more than 7 rebounds per game for her four-year career? Let's just focus on Paige, who deserves our undivided attention while we still have her in Storrs.:) [/QUOTE]
