She never gives the other team bulletin board material. Smart. She is a true leader now.

[@markhathaway9456]

UConn, or any team for that matter, has to have leaders on the floor during big games and the tournaments (conference and NCAA). I expect Paige will lead by example as much as through words. Katlyn is a floor leader with a lot of experience, and she will continue in that role. Azzi may be another more experienced player who leads. The rest of the team has youthful energy and excitement.

Go ladies, you got this!

They made it to their spots now let's all see 👀 what God will allow

[@maceysvibes333]

She needs to bring out sassy competitive side! Passion emotion and also have fun like Diana T style maybe. I think people call her passive p or something sometimes but yea have fun still stay focused tho ofc but they seem to get shaken up under pressure and lose that like confident fun side which is valid but the more comfortable and fun they can feel the more the nerves can be used to do good rather than throw you off!

She plays her own style and that’s how all great players develop. No need for her to be like anyone else.

[@maceysvibes333]

@ she often talks about how she looks up to her. She’s been called a mini her before. Ofc she is her own player/person, I’m only saying that as reference to the type of playing style, not to be exactly like her. I only started watching for paige anyways don’t even know much about DT I just remember people often compare them, and often talk about Paige needing to be more aggressive even from her own coach but I agree with what you are saying. Again it’s more just an example of being more aggressive but that’s why I said style and maybe, not exact. I don’t have all the basketball terminology I just say in ways I’ve heard before also it was meant to be a simple suggestion/encouragement not a comparison! She’s great on her own obviously, they all are! They also do talk about looking up to certain iconic UConn players

[@maceysvibes333]

@ also I only meant for the big games where they are hated and being booed too, not comenting on her compete style/playing as a whole just these more intense games

Better than alcohol and being bald
