She reminds me of Steve Nash on offense, play style and body type tbh. Not that strong or tall, (but not short), very slim frame, but extremely smart IQ, good passer and dribbler, and shoots well. The difference is her defense is really great too. Steve Nash’s D was average at best
Meghan Culmo is the female color analyst and a former UConn player from the early/mid 90's. Instead of commenting on the play of the team or an individual, she often bases her observations on what she thinks Geno will like or dislike. The announcer, in his 2nd year, also falls into the same trap. I want someone to describe the action and make insightful comments about THE game that is occurring and the plays that are happening. I don't want to hear comments like, "I don't know why Nika didn't take that shot"; these are all young women ages 18 - 21 or 22, they're not professionals. And, especially the freshmen; they're still trying to acclimate to the full college experience and play for one of the most demanding (and successful) coaches in all of sports. And considering all of the changes and interruptions of the last year b/c of Covid, I admire how well this team is playing and growing. We just don't need a negative opinion or comment, unless it is based upon personal observation and not on how one thinks what the Head Coach's reaction might, or will, be.
You are absolutely right, Vincent. She's the ultimate team player, a lady with all the offensive tools who would rather pass to you rather than pad her own stats!
I've been saying that since her Jr yr in high school. She's going to help build the WNBA fan base. And she's still holding back from what she can do because of where she's playing.
Easily. But that’s not really a career move like it is for someone going to the NBA. Unless she can lock in lifetime endorsement deals, she’ll probably become a businesswoman after she retires.
Two points 1) I disagree that she’s ready for WNBA. 2) Taurasi lives in a mansion; you can make good money playing women’s BB but you gotta be willing to go overseas, too.
Paige is singlehandedly making women’s college basketball (and soon to be WNBA) fun to watch. She’s changing the sport which will push it to the next level. Shoe deal, sports drink, etc. She’s paving the way (finally) for women’s team sports superstars. Bravo.
As far as I know, Bueckers will have to spend four years at UConn because the WNBA has no mechanism for early entry. The good scenario would have Bueckers entering the league as Taurasi leaves. The bad scenario would be a Grant Hill-type injury to Bueckers before she gets to the WNBA.
WNBA was always fun. Women's college basketball was always fun. There have always been supremely talented players but you've been ignoring them as did majority of the population. Paige isn't single-handedly doing anything. There so many other amazing athletes in womens basketball that make college basketball fun to watch. Ignorance and overconfidence isn't a cute look. I agree she's doing an amazing job and i agree she paving a way through womens sports but lets not act like she was the first one. There have always been women of paige's calibar, women who have been overlooked ad underappreciated because she was female.
I love watching her T____T! My dad is the real one obsessed with women's college basketball in the house. But I watch over the years when certain players stand out. And she is amazing.
more explosive scoring power than Diana i cant think of any Guard her size with this type of explosiveness it looks effortless. she will be the best guard in the league by her second year.
@@zenodee More explosive scorer then the WNBA all time leading scorer? Maybe if your comparing her to the current version of DT, but DT in her prime was an extremely explosive scorer.
@@cobra7282 she is the all time leading scorer because of longevity. not because she is the most explosive scorer. Paige B can be Kobe to Dianas Michael ok? im not saying Paige is going to be better than the best player in WNBA history, not at all, what i am saying is that in MY OPINION this kid looks to be the most explosive scorer i have ever seen. she is making circus layups pulling up from mid range with extreme is and is the already elite at shooting threes of the catch, fastbreak, the rhythm she has is so natural and honestly for her to drop back to back 30 pt bombs shows you that she is already ready for the best defenders in the WNBA. Kobe tried to be better than Mike and Paige will try to be what DT is but im saying this - the girl has the explosive scoring power that we have never seen before. if she can become the floor general, defender, elite passer that DT is then she will indeed be better and be the best player in league history. thats the potential there is.
@@zenodee She also has the 2 highest scoring seasons in WNBA history and is the only player to reach or surpass 24 points per game in a WNBA season (did it twice as well). Longevity is the reason she will likely be the all time leading scorer for a very long time, but that doesn't change the fact that she is also the most explosive scorer in WNBA history as well.
I dont think geno is gonna mess her up rather then the team is . The team is not all the way there on the court and you can see it when she is on the bench
These are Paige highlights, not UConn vs Marquette “full highlights”. Where was the epic Aaliyah Edwards block, catch and coast to coast score? One of Nika Muhl’s 9 assists or at least one of her 5 steals? Christyn's 18 clutch points? Not worthy of the highlight reel? OK, we have another Paige fan site, we get it. 😂
@@lecowardjames 😂 Good one, fanboy. I’ve been watching Paige since Hopkins days. It said Full Highlights, I actually watched the game and these highlights leave out some Huge plays be her team.
Some of these good high school players should start going to schools other than blue bloods and create a legacy there at uconn your never going to make history no matter how good you are
Don't have to wonder about the OP because that comment was super gay.😂 And totally inappropriate. A 40 year olds wondering about a kid's private affairs? Um no.
She reminds me so much of Steph Curry. She’s good man.
What she gonna do. Go to the WNBA? 🤣
Austin Harrington Yeah, why?
@Jinga Ling you think she could play college ball wit the men’s team?
@@austinharrington8820 well unfortunately womens basketball is just falling apart so talent like hers is just wasted now a days

The woman announcer was lowkey hating
i heard that too. said she lost her handle on that euro step hahahaha
Big facts

@@cd-yt3rj Is this her burner account?
I was thinking the same
Paige drops dimes like Sue Bird and gets buckets like Diana Taurasi... she's the truth
You are absolutely right, Vincent. She's the ultimate team player, a lady with all the offensive tools who would rather pass to you rather than pad her own stats!
Commentator a whole hater 😭
I know right!!!
Fr
Yeah she was.
Just what I was thinking at first. That was a text book euro step.
Never really cared about the wnba or women’s basketball in general but damn this girl is cold she might make me actually watch the wnba
I've been saying that since her Jr yr in high school. She's going to help build the WNBA fan base. And she's still holding back from what she can do because of where she's playing.
shes destroying all these girls and she's only 19....jeez
19 almost 20.
well, she gonna be 20 in october
It official i dab her the lady Curry of Women college 🏀
She’s shooting almost 60% from 3?? Yeah I know it’s the girls college line but still, that’s insane
Yeah dude but that girls college line is proportional to their size and strenght
@@carlosandrade3720 Most of her threes would be men’s college threes.
I didn’t know curry went back to college
Reverse layup was just sick.
@0:58 The announcer says she lost the handle a bit but that was a classic Dwyane Wade move.
12/18FG, 6/9 from 3
Stable performance
She wnba ready rn she could have gone out of highschool

There's obviously a gap between her level of play and the rest. No disrespect to the other ladies but Paige is just a bucket!
i live 25 min from storrs and can't wait to see her live.
She’s the ☝🏽
Imagine her senior year from now...
She fr next up she playing on rookie
Thanks for posting this!
Paige!! Loving watching you and the team!!~Your fans from Woodbury MN!
Man she’s nice
Now she has a partner in greatness. Nika
Azzi Fudd is coming next yr to uconn. Thats her girl

Why don’t you ask Paige whether Geno is making her a better player or “messing her up”?
I dont think geno is gonna mess her up rather then the team is . The team is not all the way there on the court and you can see it when she is on the bench

She will own every scoring record in women's history if she stays healthy
She is being outscored by freshman Caitlyn Clark of iowa right now but time will tell
Micheal jordan
Who was that female commentator? A hater wtf
Can we all agree that that commentator is a straight hater, nothing wrong with criticism, but come on , her envy is poring out her mouth
Some of these good high school players should start going to schools other than blue bloods and create a legacy there at uconn your never going to make history no matter how good you are
What's she gonna do, go to the WNBA? 🤣
I dont know why, but i hope she’s heterosexual. Not that it matters
Shoot your shot my guy 😂
Don't have to wonder about the OP because that comment was super gay.😂 And totally inappropriate. A 40 year olds wondering about a kid's private affairs? Um no.
bro she's 18 lol.
GTFO with this shit, this isn't for you.
You made the comment, so it matters to you. It shouldn't.
She would be nothing without her teammates
hater crybaby.....mad 😂
Her teammates would be nothing without her, too.
She will be nothing with out her teammates but she leads the team in everything except blocks
