[@Elc0chin0]

After watching the interviews I have to say that this was a great game. PERIOD. Paige didn't, in my opinion seem to have that much of an impact as she usually does. Geno took her out of the game before the end of the 2nd qtr. She did however play well. Christin was the one who came out with all barrels loaded which goes to show you that Paige doesn't even have to be on the court to have an impact on the team. Paige is a team player and her team will rise with her. I did see that in Iowa in a few players but as the interviews show they are a young team. Fear Catlin... That's all I have to say, she will be back for the next 3 years and I have a feeling a huge threat to UCONN. This isn't over.

[@lecowardjames]

[@davidherdman9798]

Paige didn't "outplay" her rival. But her teammates certainly did outplay the other team. The UCONN defense was outstanding. To my way of thinking this is a reflection of great coaching. And...players following their game plan. Paige was good. But better in the first two games. Now the games get serious.

[@TheHuskyK9]

UConn to women’s basketball is like Alabama to men’s football

[@kurtjohnson4816]

To say that Bueckers "outdueled" Clark is to say you don't know much about basketball, and especially the dynamics around this this game. UCONN came into this game as the #1 ranked team in the nation, Iowa was never ranked all year. Bueckers was just one of a fleet of highly ranked UCONN players; for Iowa, Clark was the only one. UCONN had a significant advantage in size, length, athleticism, and bench depth. For Iowa to have won this game would have been an earth-rattling upset. On paper, this should be a 35 pt win. Yet Iowa was still within single digits several times in the third and fourth quarters. UCONN was able to throw everything they had at Clark defensively; Iowa did not have that luxury re: Paige, due to the breadth and depth of the UCONN recruits. If you want to discuss a "duel", it's actually between talent-hoarding blueblood programs and everyone else. If you must focus on the Paige/Caitlin comparison, what you have to imagine is what would happen if they switched teams. Take a minute...

She also hit the critical 3 pointers after Iowa cut it to 9, twice, to seal the game. There’s a reason DT and Bird called her the best, she is.
