Paige the GOAT season to remember

Stats copied from UConn WBB website. Taurasi junior and senior seasons which resulted in 2 NC. Paige freshman season so far. Hoping that Paige leads UConn to the NC as a freshman like stupendous Stewie did.

I do not expect UConn WBB to win every championship. That would be unrealistic and unfair expectation.
.
But I would not be disappointed if UConn won championships in any of 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025.

Is 3 emoji in a single BY post within rule limits ?

Oops. I mean 4.

Diana basically ignored her own stats to help develop the young team that she had at the time her junior and senior years ( Turner, Crocket, Strothers). Without her doing this the 2003 and 2004 NC would not have happened.

.
BYers have been comparing Paige's stats and accomplishments to Taurasi, Maya, and Stewie all season.
.
Maya and Stewie could have dominated games and racked up bigger stats. They also chose Team over I in order to win NC.
.
Paige proved she could score 30+ points if she wanted to. Ultimate team first player. Geno had to yell at Paige to be more selfish.

Just like Diana, Page is her own person. She has a set of skills or gifts that will sets her apart from the, for the lack of a better word, "regular excellent college player." I agree with Tony. Paige will hit levels of excellence that will open our eyes and surprise us game after game. UConn is very forturnate to have had a number of players that have come to define excellence in a variety of ways: Diana, Bird, Cash, Maya, Stewart, Moriah, and others my memory can't recall at this moment.

Every time that I watch Paige, I am not only thrilled, but I am so impressed with this young women's skills on the basketball court. It takes a team to win a National Championship, not one player. However, that one player can inspire their team mates to reach higher levels of excellence. We have the opportunity to see what will happen as time goes by.
