Paige scoring watch

[Boreifs]

Well, recently, only three of the five starters are scoring, so that could be a problem.

One of the reserves is consistently in double figures, with another close. Plus, the other starters are doing other things to help.

Once you get to the E8 you are facing defenses that are good and any good defense can neutralize one player.

Obviously individual accomplishments aren't of great concern, but still can be fun to track.

Paige has 319 points.
If things go according to plan, there will be 6 more regular season games. Add 3 BET then the NCAAs. So 9+x.

Maya had 678 points her frosh year.
Sweet 16 = 12 games = 29.9 pts/game needed
Final 4 = 14 games = 25.6
Finals = 15 games = 23.9

Svet (#2) had 569 points
Paige would need 20.8 (12 games) / 17.9 (14 g) / 16.7 to pass

KLS (#10) had 408 points
Paige would need 7.4 / 6.4 / 5.9 to enter the top 10.

And in terms of any class, Rebecca 93-94 is currently in 20th place with 635 points. To tie that Paige would need to average 26.3 / 22.6 / 21.1.

PPG would be the best way to determine who was the best shooting freshman...the number of games played always varies.

The Big East had said at one time that all games that have postponed will be made up if it is possible. Right now there are two teams that UConn had postponed, Providence and Villanova, so the regular season could be 8 instead of 6.

Don't they still have a maximum of 22 games. At the present schedule, that would equal 22 games.

PPG is perhaps the best way to determine the highest scoring freshman but not the best shooting. Someone could score 30 PPG and be a mediocre shooter if they take 25-30 shots per game. Paige is a great shooter as it seems she rarely misses. She is also someone who likes to spread it around which holds her PPG down.

I'm trying to remember if any of Paige's missed shots didn't hit the rim. Every player on UConn has shot at least one air ball, but I can't remember if she has had a air ball.

Paige with 11 today.
To pass Maya would need to avg 34.3/28.1/25.8 ppg.
Lobo 29.6/24.2/22.2
Svet 22.2/18.2/16.7
KLS . 4.3/ 3.5/ 3.3

3 point shooting = 53.7%, 3rd best in NCAA, but less than 0.1 pt out of 1st

 

[eebmg]

Good for her teammates to see that she is human. CW in particular has picked it up dramatically. In the long run, Paige should aim for 20 pts / 10 assists as the optimal targets with her teammates playing to their own potential. And maybe less than 40 minutes a game.

 

[Rings R Us]

Let's not forget Paige hurt her ankle again today, which may have affected her shooting.

 

[Childhood]

The points are not so important when I see Paige rolled her ankle again and again. I really feel hurt and worried.

 

[Vowelguy]

The points are not so important

Absolutely agree, as I said in my first post. Just for fun to see how she many points she ends up.

 

[Zinethar]

The thing that is amazing is that we still have this being discussed in a season where there will be at least 10 less games than normal being played. Makes it hard to break records for total anything in a year.

 

[Vowelguy]

Paige passed KLS and Rebecca to move into 9th place on the freshman scoring list. She has 419 points.
Next up: CW at 443

Her 3 pt shooting percentage is now 48.1%

 

[Vowelguy]

Paige passed CW, Tamika W, and Tina to move into 6th place on the Frosh scoring list.
She has 460 points.
Next up: BriaH at 472.

I believe Paige actually has 473 points in 24 games for a 19.7 avg.

Ohhhhh
Thank you @nutmegger i will fix

So, for ease of everyone, next up is #4 Brianna Stewart at 497. Here's the average Paige needs for E8 (4g) FF (5g) and Title game (6) for here to tie/pass everyone:
#4 Stewart 497 pts--------------------6.0; 4.8; 4.0
#3 Svetlana Abrosimova 538 pts----16.3;13.0;10.8
#2 Kaleena Moscato Lewis 569 pts--24.0;19.2;16.0
#1 May Moore 678 pts---------------51.3;41.0;34.2

2-4 are well within reach. Maya, not so much

 

[Vowelguy]

Dios mio.
At last updated with the correct #s

 

[GW15MJ4MM23]

Collier and Samuelson would have traded being highest scoring teammates in UConn history for 1 more NC in last 3 seasons. (Not blaming anyone. Not spoiled.)

I never expect UConn to win every NC. But I would not be disappointed if PB helped UConn win 1+ NC during her career.

Yeah, but if she just gets anywhere near Maya the "short season argument" as to the best career will be discussed in long threads 20 years from now.

Or until next year when Azzi breaks it!

That’s for you @MilfordHusky

In a COVID shortened season PPG is the real stay, not total points.

Yes, but media guide/record book doesn’t have PPG categories. Only total points.

That's fine with Bueckers because she is more happy blowing the assist record into pieces despite the season and playing 2 guard. In an interview when the two of them were asked how they imagined having the ball in their hands with 5 seconds left and either tied or down in a big game. Azzi said it was always this or that move and a swish. Bueckers also described a move but then a behind the back pass to a now-open Fudd who nails the game winner.
How's that for friendship and trust?

That may change next season.
