The way she answered the Saylor question shows her maturity and intelligence. Well done Paige!

Saylor?

Yeah it's really no one's business.

[@awb1213]

During the game, I loved the way Paige was the first player to try and help the injured Nika get up off the floor.

@Royal Swish Twin?

[@onestgermain]

@Royal Swish I know she said that, and I know they are not related,lol Plus they do not look like each other either...Must be an in house joke...

[@onestgermain]

@Royal Swish For sure! How good the Win v Baylor!!!

Every once in a while a player comes around who simply has the “ X “ factor. While I have been somewhat spoiled living in Eugene, OR and watching Sabrina Ionescu over the past several years, it has been truly delightful during the Covid situation to watch Paige play. She is an elite player who has a unique combination of tremendous basketball IQ, pure talent and an attitude of humility that adds up to someone who is destined for a stellar career. I only wish she had chosen to come to the U of Oregon and clearly her choosing U Conn definitely means that they are back at the top of women’s college basketball . In a year or two the Ducks will be ready to compute with U Conn, yet this year it’s Paige and her teammates that look to be the team to beat in March Madness.

[@johntatum1951]

Paige and Aaliyah...etc...all very mature freshmen...they play like the Michigan freshmen that went all the way back in the day. Have a great tournament. Tell CD to take you to the Alamo when you win the next game....that would be a nice reward...not that you need any added motivation. Aubrey seems to be playing well also. Hope Nika recovers soon.

[@simeonlacson5466]

Great player she's very humble ..good luck for your coming games

[@boomertsm]

These reporters should be put on the clock--maybe 5 seconds or there’s a clock violation-to get the questions out! Paige is awesome talent and very poised for a freshman.

[@craig1lengyel]

How do you not love Paige! She seems to be ready for WNBA! So Happy UConn get these talented athletes

[@joerusso4417]

she can't leave til 2023 and will probably leave in 2024 so why do idiot fans keep bringing this up. unless they are not uconn fans and want her gone to a league no one cares about. uconn stars were heros in college but their fans don't follow them the same way in the wnba. how many wnba games have you or anyone else followed religously like uconn fans follow uconn.? the whole state of conn. follows these girls. that's bigger than the wnba.

paige is so awesome

[@daveowens9490]

Better questions: How is your ankle holding up? Any word on Nika? Did CD tell you to step up, or was this just natural to you?

[@jeffk4710]

Thats some crazy HD camera lol

[@wondermervas9265]

Paige 🔥 best player in the country 🔥 🏀

[@reagane.8683]

Paige is a great player let alone person. She has an amazing smile on her face that lifts others up when they see it. I really think that with her plays, her commitment, her attitude and her selflessness she will make a difference to the WNBA, and NCAA

[@firou004]

love u Paige

[@raymata682]

Through the first two rounds the women's game has a better flow to it than the men's. Also, their shooting skills and play making abilities are superior to many of the men's teams.

[@holyworrier]

I started watching FIBA women's basketball maybe six months ago. I discovered Marine Johannes and was hooked. Now I'm finding it a thrill to watch Paige and her mates go fo it. I find women's basketball more exciting than that of the men. I don't miss the flamboyant dunk at all. As a counter to Shak's suggestion that the women lower the rim, I'd much rather see the men raise theirs.

[@matsutakebeaver4437]

uconn avoided oregons' duck's in 2020. it was good to see arizona give ncaa wbb something fresh, better for the game.

[@chaos1reigns]

Good job with balanced scoring. Just need to tighten up on the free throws. Hope Nika "GNAT" Muhl will be okay

[@jeffreyval9665]

What does GNAT stand for? Sorry I just never heard that.

I find it incredible that here we are in 2021, and it seems that we are trying to communicate with folks calling in from the moon. Is this the best we can do? I guess so.
