Paige can really play. She’s something else. It’s great that the women’s game has some girls that are honestly fun to watch and I love that they’ve decided to promote their best players. She’s f*cking awesome. No qualifier.

Absolutely better. They actually played the entire game. See the charge that Paige took right at the end. Caitlin was still working hard, and Paige was not allowing ANY easy buckets. It is certainly more fun to watch the NCAA women than the WNBA.
I've figured it out; the skill level and speed is higher in the WNBA, but its less intense. The WNBA players don't have the athleticism to keep the game interesting and make up for the lack of intensity.
Who's here after Caitlin Clark and Iowa defeated Angel Reese and LSU and Paige Bueckers and UConn defeated Juju Watkins and USC in the elite 8 to set up a 2nd blockbuster showdown between these two women for a spot in the National title game?
Womens college ball might be better than the WNBA atm. Those pros got in before pro ball was a realistic possibility for most women, so the new talent is bound to be more competitive.
yeah over time more talent will develop and make the WNBA more interesting. these college games are fun to watch so eventually the WNBA will be more entertaining, driving up viewership, and in turn bringing in more revenue.
I had been watching Uconn games after discovering Paige Bueckers on a YT random recommendation while watching Marine Johannes of France and now playing for New York. Because of Paige, I now discovered her teammates, and Caitlin Clark, Hailey Van Lith, etc. They're all good. Good for women's basketball to see those young great players. 🥰👍🔥💯
Why are u just pointing out white players theres plenty of other players that are just as good the commentators say this is the matchup folks have been waiting for no its not this is the matchup they chose to promote williams did all the defensive work and was the leading scorer why wasnt she in the thumbnail ?
@@anthonytaylor7928 boi stfu they doesn’t need to point out black players, they can do anything they want, why don’t you talk about black players. We can mention anyone we want.
Paige is on another level but clacker plays with that stench curry pace. She's gonna be really good in the wnba she just has to work on the balance coming off her shot and landing on two feet or she's gonna have some ankle problems
She’s slow, turns the ball over WAY too much, and is a disaster on D. Can’t play in the league if you can’t play. Better offensive players than her like Rachel Banham and Kelsey Plum are struggling to stay on the league for the same reasons
@@cbrend22 Kelsey Plum struggling? She was the Aces best player coming off the bench (she honestly should have been starting) in just her 2nd year then she had injuries. She wasn't "struggling" to stay in the league at all

Its crazy what can change over 2 years! During this time Paige was undoubtedly the most popular womans player, way more than Caitlin. After many injuries and 2 years later, Caitlin is the most popular player and Paige is trying to work her way back in the spotlight!
i don't watch college basketball much at all (men or women) but if i can i watch uconn games b/c paige is such a dynamic player so watching her run that team is so entertaining.
@@jamesonedwardsii4943 I think your intellect, like many others, doesn't comprehend what people are saying. They are saying she is the equivalent to a Lebron or Magic to the WOMENS game, not that she's on their level or better. It's all in the context of the women's game. Like when someone says tiger woods is the Michael Jordan or golf. No one's saying he's Michael Jordan. Understand?
@@286mic *Comparing Magic and Tiger and Jordan makes sense, comparing these girls to the Lisa Leslie's of yesterday fine, but these girls cannot even dunk and they certainly aren't transitioning the game through race, you're the one who has it twisted*
Williams has talent, but she’s inconsistent. She had the wonderful luxury today of being guarded) if you can call it that, by Clark, who’s an extremely weak defender
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.
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.
no way.......she is a selfish player,and she will never win championship with her style,she will choked like harden and curry,Lillard in playoffs who rely on three points shots🤫
@@georgia_amoorefan no way.......she is a selfish player,and she will never win championship with her style,she will choked like harden and curry,Lillard in playoffs who rely on three points shots🤫
It is something about the UCONN freshman when they get into the tournament from Sue Bird, DT, Maya, Tina Charles, Stewie and now Paige. The key for UCONN in the final four is Williams and Nelson. Nelson has the shot blocking of Kia Stokes and the passing of Dolson and Williams is a walking bucket not like Maya but she has Maya smoothness
Caitlin Clark may be a better individual player. But Paige consistently makes everyone around her better. She did that all through HS. Went to the state championship 5 straight years. That's grade 8 through Senior. Now here she is at UCONN in the playoffs. Again. Great coaching, for sure at both HS and UCONN, but she makes her teammates better. She really seems to know when to step up and take over.
These two young women are Legendary ~Paige Bueckers is the ~Chosen 1~ but ~Caitlin Clark is ~The Truth~ there actually is a difference when you think about it believe it or not , in the end there both Beyond & the Future of basketball

watching Paige and Caitlin honest to god felt like Magic and Larry. these two are straight killers. i wouldn't be surprised if they are 1-2 in record books by the time their college careers are over.
@@596beastmode stop what exactly? its been a long time since the women's game has two equally talented women at the same time not on UConn as a team. are you upset that I compared what could be the best rivalry going forward for the next 4 yrs to that of the one Bird and Magic started in college and continued in the pros? instead of just say "stop bro" why not articulate why it bothered you so much. I mean if you're just here to troll people like good basketball, cool, I guess.
@@rorybisson756 I'm a big fan of Paige, but don't say it ''felt'' like Magic and Larry bruh. Anyway, the women players don't like us to compare them to the men basketball players. Is it gonna be a great rivalry between them? Yes. Saying it's like Bird and Magic is a huge stretch, especially since none of them could turn a franchise around and guarantee a championship.
And if you are going to say they could they won't. There was this one girl that was drafted last season that everyone knew about, one year later. I've seen NOTHING about her., jesus I forget her name The hype will simply die down one year in the WNBA and that's unfortunate
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...
Yooo when did women’s basketball get good? Has there been a drastic upswing in talent or have I been sleeping? The entertainment value is there. Salute
