She does not get in too deep. She does a great job of locating the gap and the hole and hits that. And she's really been great for mid-range and deadly. And maybe even more importantly...

Paige's understanding of the moment, when there's a moment where the momentum could swing or when they need to close a quarter or where they need to pour it on or they need a response, I have found that Paige has been stepping up to provide that in this tournament for UConn.

Well, well, I'll just add in though, though. I think, I think it's an interesting point too, about like what those shots look like. I actually have been really impressed. I feel like a lot of her shots have been on balance. Yeah. You know, like that she's finding the gap and elevating, you know, elevating for it. I think she's very skilled and under control. Absolutely.

Yeah, I was thinking about where the advantages are for these two teams. And I think one aspect of this, there's a mental kind of framing aspect of this. For UConn, they've been to the Final Four now. This is their second time in a row. They've been there 24 times. And it's very clear that the goal for them is the championship. They want to get Paige over the hump here.

This has been an overarching storyline. Now, that's not to say UCLA's goal is not to win the championship, but you gotta be careful here because they are in a different place in the fact that this is the first Final Four in program history. So I think some very intentional reframing is important to make sure that you're not just happy with, you know, to be there.

You want to make sure you're not just happy to be there. You're not happy with that headline that you want to get greedy right now and get two more wins. And so that's all I'm saying is that there is a mental advantage here that I think favors UConn. And it's just a matter of reframing that could help UCLA approach this game right. Size battle is another thing I'm looking at.

I think the size battle is with UCLA and Lauren Betts. And I'm looking at the matchup. If we see Lauren Betts and Sarah Strong against each other at any point, I mean, maybe you could see UConn utilize their mobility to create foul trouble or their shooting ability, like Sarah Strong's ability to possibly pull a defender out, perhaps. Perhaps Lauren Betts opens up the paint for everyone else.

But I still think that advantage goes UCLA. And then UConn, the advantages with their guard play between just experience, productivity, consistency, and pagebackers.

It's a great point. And I actually think that that is an advantage for UConn though, because we haven't even seen AZ Fudd have some big game in this tournament. Like that's almost like something that could be another X factor for them in the final four. Should she come more alive? Maybe she's just saving it for Tampa.

Girl, experience matters at this point of the season, and I agree. It looked like Duke did not know how to execute down the stretch and just close that game out and win or grab it or steal it or take it. And look, it's South Carolina who continues to find a way. But for me, again, at this point of the year, A win is a win is a win, and they don't have to be pretty. Win in advance.

You only need two more at this point to the championship, and neither one of them got to be pretty. You just need a W. And so for South Carolina, I think what's key for them, they have an identity around defense. They've got to make sure that they at minimum execute that. And keep the game low scoring and, you know, make it hard on the other team.
