Paige's combination of defensive and offensive play against usc was monumental. She is one of the most complete basketball players in history. If paige can stay healthy, her impact on the game will be epic. I hope the whole nation tunes in for uconn vs iowa because we are going to see something very special.

[@LiberalsReadmyBio]

She is under thhe radar cuz clark is getting all the heat. If Bueckers didnt get injury we would be hearing about a 2 women mvps race right now

[@midnight-2021]

She is UCONN's best player since Breanna Stewart. Breanna Stewart is the all time 🐐 of women's basketball at the NCAA level with 4 rings and 4 NCAA tournament MVP's between 2013 to 2016. UCONN hasn't won the NCAA championship since Breanna Stewart graduated.

Bueckers Clark matchup Friday!

[@Eric-zk2hu]

Bueckers played great and hit some really big shots down the stretch. USC played great but kind of got outcoached, they have very good players and a superstar in Juju but I think they could have set her up more even though UConn was double teaming and scheming their defenses to make it tough on Juju. UConn really gutted out a win being shorthanded.

[@tar2185]

You sound like one of the few people in the comments who have actually watched the whole game. Paige and Juju’s performance offsets. The rest of SC was out played by UConn.

[@cbrend22]

No, they didn't offset. Paige shot 50% from the field and from 3, JuJu shot 36% from the fiekdtand 33% from 3, that's awful. Moreover, Paige had more assists and okayed a spectacular defensive game, way better than JuJu and had half as many turnovers. Paige played a great game on both ends, very efficiently. JuJu was very inefficient, took a lot of bad shots, was out of control at times and she disappeared for much of the game on D. They most certainly did not offset one another, I'm not sure what gane you were watching.

[@johntatum1951]

Nice to see Paige and Edwards stepping up...Mika plays great defense and the freshmen contribute...good team after so much adversity.

[@JR-kv6ez]

@@chitownlivingston7007 Caitlin doesn't have a pull-jumper (yet). Paige has the complete game - outside, midrange, and can even post up. Caitlin can bomb threes and take it to the basket. I just don't see much of a midrange game from her.

[@LiberalsReadmyBio]

​@@IndianOutlaw1870im from uconn so i am biiased but clark is so far superior in passing but paige has that pull up and i truly think if she wasnt injured we would be having one of the grestest seasons ever and a 2 way mvp race

[@brianmchugh3757]

@@LiberalsReadmyBioYou would be incorrect in your assertion. If you doubt me, check out highlights of Paige’s passing ability her freshman season. She was playing point and her full court passes to Christyn Williams were always on point. She’s averaging almost 5 assists per game, even though she is the third primary ball handler behind Arnold & Muhl. As for Clark, she has exceptional court vision and a deft touch on her passes. Her passing is more highlight reel quality, but look at the pass Paige made to Aaliyah Edwards for the easy underneath basket - her passing is nuanced. UConn doesn’t run a pell mell offense like Iowa because they simply don’t have the bodies this season. Each player thrives in their particular offensive scheme.

[@itay6262]

I came here to see who Caitlin Clark plays next, but that's actually pretty good

[@JR-kv6ez]

imo Paige is more talented than Caitlin, but Caitlin plays a little smarter.

[@eazypeezy6195]

UCONN‼️💙

[@EliteFiresticks-gk6fy]

Her defense is a lot better than most of the other guards in women’s college basketball most of them struggle with basic defensive concepts like playing tight defense and challenging good shooters they go under screens on shooters and wander too far away from good shooters knowing they won’t contest the layup and will jog out to defend the shooter

[@johnklein6040]

I think Paige's best asset on defense might be her anticipation of what the other player is going to do she jumps a lot of routes and gets a lot of steals that way she seems to almost know what's going to happen therefore she sets up and is prepared ahead of time.

[@chesssterling101]

She’s a defensive first player and was always regarded to be the better over all player between her and CC but CC is just a better scorer
