Nope, not everyone. I haven't seen her find an open shooter all season. She has Azzi and Paige on her team and can barely get 3 assists per game. No court iq, not a good pg, not even an average pg
@Bonoy444 I just want her to be a PG and actually pass to the 2 best shooters in the NCAA, who she happens to have ON HER team... I don't hate her, I just think she has absolutely no passing IQ and destroys what UConn could accomplish. She has Paige and Azzi, ffs, and can't manage to get the ball to them? Anyone who knows basketball has this same opinion. We're all frustrated that Geno won't fix this
Playing the young players last year and again this year and resting Paige and Azzi will benefit UCONN the next few years! Looking forward to see Aubrey and her athleticism come back!
Welcome Back Paige!!! Do not let up on the other Sisters from giving their all like when you were bench watching!!! They are the future and that is now and tomorrow!!!
Chen and KK never find Azzi open, or any shooter. Paige needs to be pg with Azzi and Ash on wings. All 3 of them have more passing iq than Chen and Kk. By a long shot.
@@ttna77 The strategy they're using isn't so much about opportunism, though it's there at times. Some people see the floor better or pass better, so they bring other things to the game. Paige is clearly great, so comparing others to her just isn't really a thing to worry about.
BAD point guards. A rec league pg would average 25 assists with Paige and Azzi on the wings. Playing Chen and KK is like a blind person running pg. Awful.
They miss Caroline , and Aubrey . As Geno the Goat says - To WIN IT ALL , you have to it ALL .. . What i see South Carolina , ND , leading the way. Tennessee will be a good test also .
i’m not sure caroline will ever return bc her injuries especially the head ones seem chronic. but aubrey has been warming up so i assume she will be back soon
Because they're not playing smart. Azzi and Paige are 2 of the best shooters (players) in the nation and they're playing with 2 point guards that don't have the iq to simply PASS them the ball!!! Geno is taking WAY too long to figure this out
@@theuconndaily Sacrificing the women's program on behalf of the men? I don't think there's anything to be gained from playing against the likes of St. John's, Georgetown, et al.
The media played up Paige to be like a Michael Jordan type player. I haven’t really seen her take over a game like he did almost every game. I think Paige plays with the fear of getting hurt. Something is going on in her head. Too much passing the ball for fear of contact. I’ve watched all the games and that’s just my opinion. She’s still a good player, but the greatness has to come out because the Tournament won’t have any easy wins.
Anyone questioning her greatness didn't watch last year or her freshman year. She has Azzi back and the addition of Strong. She doesn't have to take as many shots as last year, and he's said for years that she likes to pass first.
@ well the turkish team she was on had as much tallnt as the storm.. and the one game she played she was having a great game .. at th storm she played behind diggang top 5 pg in the league ... so the fact she was not playing is expected .. not o mention the coach plays ND alumi mostly
@ The Turkish team she was on will get blown out by the storm the talent over seas don’t compare to the WNBA. 90% of those over seas player won’t even make a WNBA roster so Idk what you’re talking about.
These Big East games are unwatchable in that these teams have no chance against UConn. Blowout after blowout and they sit there and analyze the games as if they are accomplishing something special. If they had South Carolina’s schedule they would have 10 loses.
They’ve been a bad conference for well over a decade now, it’s not in their control. Geno makes up for it for having the hardest non conference schedule year in and year out. UConn had the #1 Strength of Schedule last year. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
UConn played 2 good non conference teams which they lost. They would have more losses if they had to play in a top conference. So. Carolina has to play Texas, LSU, Tn in the next 2 weeks. What’s laughable is UConn fans think their team is so good winning this mid-major conference.
@ Every UConn fan knows the Big East is not a strong conference lol, literally no one denies that. Like I said, UConn STATISTICALLY has one of the strongest overall schedules year in and year out because of their non-conference schedule. UConn still has upcoming games against Tennessee and South Carolina.
Paige was a far better player as a freshman she has lost the ability to take over games, she doesn't put up or covert threes, and the passion she played with freshman year has gone. At this point, she looks lazy and seems to be getting by on past triumphs. Don't get me wrong she is a great player, with solid fundamentals, but she isn't playing like a generational talent anymore. Think I'm wrong? Go back and watch her freshman-year games and tell me I'm wrong.
My observations of Paige thus far in her career… A. No one really understood how to guard Paige as a freshman, thus she prospered, now she draws double and triple teams, B. Paige has experienced two major injuries in her Sophomore and Junior seasons, C. She is not forced to carry the team, like she has had to do in the past, D. The early loses this season to ND and USC were not blowouts, USC came down to the final possession, E. She is more of a shooting guard, and can create her own shot off the dribble, she doesn’t need to bring the ball up the court. F. The Big East Conference is weak as heck this year, and UCONN will win the division again, G. Why not make an assessment of her at the end of the season, I guarantee she will show up when it’s needed most.
@ericaroha6104 Your post is uninformed, and a LAZY POST. If you are not seeing Paige playing with the same passion, that she plays with in every single game, you are blind and not qualified to make any comments re Paige. You are a troll.
5 rebounds, 0 assists and 12 points... was not a good outing for Paige... I had given more minutes to players that are improving. Also the score and data reflects they do better when she is not on the court.. especially Azzi, Shade, Chen, and KK. She has not done well in games since the sneaker deal and handing out iPhones... Paige thinks she is the coach on the team on the floor and is why it appears they are not doing what they practiced. Case in point 2nd period of this game... Players are playing for Paige when she is on thhe floor... but play for coach when she is off.
@@victorlopez2143 Big time fan...just stating the facts. It wasn't a good outing and the numbers do show when Paige is on the court they play for Paige,,, when she is not they follow the coach. Paige does not have the same drive she did as a Freshman now,,, it all has to do largely in part with NIL. Fact: As stated in a pressor...In the 1st half of the USC game none of their offense or defense was what was practiced. 2nd half they followed exactly as the coach had them practice and nearly came back to win. Truth is what truth is no matter how one feels.
@MooreCEJr I actually agree, and Geno said it in the press , he was just being nice . There is something incredibly off with this team . Great shooters , great defense . There is just something very off about the group. They have all the pieces ,and it's just not mending well . Sad to say ,I think there are maybe too many pieces, and Geno has gotten so used to playing with limited players that he doesn't know how to fit these pieces together to make them make sense. But something is just not gelling. The post players are horrible ,like actually really bad.
Game was under control, she has plenty of games to get going again, and the younger players need time with her and AZZI. Can't wait for Aubrey to come back!
@MooreCEJr Did you expect Paige just to bounce back after missing a few games and practice time that was spent rehabbing. It takes a game or two to get your basketball legs back under you. I'd love for you to tell Paige directly that she doesn't have the same drive she did as a freshman.

All I see is a LOT of dumb and negative comments from people who are NOT uconn fans..Why bother....Sounds like your wasting your time.....
"Wokes" never want to be criticized because they're the only ones to do so. Typical neo-Lib/Progressive.
Someone finally said it!! they like hating for no reason.

Me either..don't know why they took her in the transfer portal.
Too many pgs touching the ball ..
BAD point guards. A rec league pg would average 25 assists with Paige and Azzi on the wings. Playing Chen and KK is like a blind person running pg. Awful.
KK their best defender she totally changes the game have more steals then anyone on the team!!!
@ genos a nut .. just thinks 4 pgs on the floor is better than one ..same shit that distracted nika last year
Good defensive effort, turnovers by UCONN not too costly thankfully.🏀

They have so much talent, they all can play, but they lack toughness, no physical game.
@@nicholasdoura4371 KK definitely physical
What's the point of belonging to the Big East Conference which is so lame?
They aren't in there for women's basketball. They went back for men's basketball to be relevant again.

have you watched any of her games last year?
You’ve clearly never seen her play then. Watch the NC State game in elite 8 from her sophomore year or the USC game from last season.
Geno could care less. Always looks like he woke up from a nap.
Its what Killed nikas senior year
Man by Nikas ave 5.8ppg for her career nothing killed her senior year she’s not even a WNBA talent it’s her popularity that got her drafted.
Nika, was maddeningly Overrated, and at last we can see the truth!
She is not getting any minutes, in the WNBA!
