I think she's 6'2". Yeah. And she was battling it out. While Dawn has a full rotation of posts she can put in the game who are obviously tough, scrappy, can get on the glass. Joyce Edwards included coming off of the bench tonight, Fagan starting.
chloe but she was contesting a lot of shots in the paint and um taking away those easy buckets for south carolina in the first half i thought was key so to your point yukon's defense was also just very effective okay i want to hear your thoughts on this because yukon had an incredible game from az fun who was great in tampa and i also think paige while she didn't shoot great was highly impactful
Someone else said that. Someone else said that to me because the game ended and Don't forget she had 22 points in the game. I think she had a high scoring game in the game before. Yeah. And as did AZ. And when the game ended, someone who I was sitting with was like, oh, Sarah Strong's the most outstanding player. And I was like, really? I thought it was AZ's fud.
And I think it could have gone either way. Either way. First of all, a freshman performing at such a high level. I mean, the poise, the toughness. I am blown away by her. Yeah. Period. Point blank. But what I think it was with AZ and Roz, you've had injuries as a player. So you get this part of it.
She started to trust her body on defense and we can look at points all day long, which she's a sharpshooter. She can score, you know, she's starting to get that timing in with her shot. But she was taking risks on defense. She was lunging. She was in the passing lanes.
You know, she was picking players like she was trusting her body to really move in a way on the on defense that gave that team a lot of momentum. And those were the things that maybe most people saw. I know I saw in in voting her, you know, the most outstanding player. But honestly, it could have gone. I thought it could have gone either way.
Did she take after Allison a little bit? Like, be sure her mom... She does.
You keep it, but on the surface, she gonna give you the straight. Right. And I see...
But, you know, so that was something that stood out to me. Shout out to Allison, who was one of my childhood heroes. I wanted to go to Harvard because of her. And the fact that we text now during games and stuff, I'm like, I can't believe that I get to
And so that was only was it that he heard it was respect for the for the the parity. And that's a great point, Roz, because I do agree with you that it's been injuries that have been in the way of UConn somewhat. But it's also that everyone else in the country has gotten better. Right. There's more parity. There are more teams competing.
UConn wasn't just getting every All-American out of high school like they used to at some point. And so I think you do have to consider that.
I agree. And the game has grown even in terms of the styles of play we see, right? And this is nothing against the teams of old because we wouldn't be here without the foundation that the teams have had success way back to the AIAW days and
The La Tech days and the Western Kentucky, like all those teams that you don't hear as much about that have been a part of the growth of college women's basketball over time. But yes, Dallas, the game just seems like there's closer contest. There's more parity. There's more talent going to different places. There's, to me, more variety in style of play.
You know, we've got YouTube and technology that's grown in terms of how these players are training and how they're preparing their bodies and minds for college.
Yeah.
And so you love to see it. And you're absolutely right. It makes it much harder now to have that kind of dominance. Tennessee, obviously, that goes without saying.
There's just not enough positive words to say about Paige as a player or as a person. We have just watched her blossom her game on the court through the resilience of the injuries, through the perseverance. We've watched her become a spokeswoman in the face of the game of college women's basketball. But I think what I learned
in this year in particular, really this stretch of games in the NCAA tournament and in the postseason, is that Paige has the ability to rise to the occasion. There were questions about whether or not she was WNBA ready because she doesn't shoot enough and she's a pass first and does she take over enough? All those conversations that we have about great players.
And I don't know that people were giving her the grace of what she was working back from with injury. But she showed us that she can shoot that thing. Like she can score the ball and under duress, in crunch times, in big games.
So I just love that she took center stage and the story couldn't have ended more perfectly for her journey with all that she's been through than to have a national championship.
