CC > Paige

Deal with it UConn fan. Read better. 0-1
I didn't say either player was better.

But I tend to agree with the polled GM's, that chose Paige as the player they'd pick to start a franchise with. Just a much more efficient and sustainable game. And that’s not even to mention the huge gap, defensively.

Paige was always better. She was the face of women's college hoops before she got hurt. CC ran with that opportunity and did great things, no doubt. Credit to her. But Paige didn't go anywhere.

And I'm a Hawkeye fan, btw

Runouts should never be available in professional basketball. And guess what, they aren't.

Don't even see them in the men's college game.

There are a couple reasons CC was able to find those opportunities at Iowa, that essentially amount to bad defense.

Runouts are not something that should be viewed as a viable strategy
‘Never’
Using an absolute. Always a good strategy.

Had to go all the way back to the start of the most recent game to find one.

That's why I said, "should never". Read better.

Because other than a very rare pinball transition opportunity off of a turnover, those runouts should never happen.

Show me a runout basket, and I'll show you terrible defense

Sounds to me like you're saying that Paige is better............that's too bad.

Paige was always better.
"I didn't say either player was better."

Read better........CC > Paige. Deal with it. You'll find a way. 🙂

She was the face of women's college hoops before she got hurt.
And the American public realized their mistake and quickly pivoted to the correct choice..........
CC ran with that opportunity and did great things, no doubt. Credit to her. But Paige didn't go anywhere.
Sure she did. And Paige didn't do anything again until after CC graduated.


And I'm a Hawkeye fan, btw
It doesn't matter how many times you say this after I troll you by saying you're not an Iowa fan. No one will buy that you're an Iowa fan. Again, I'm sure you'll come to terms with that someday and drop the act. 😃

0-2. Run the ball.

No, I still haven't said Paige is better. Read better.

It sounds to me as if the GM's might disagree with the American public. And the American public is not paid to make expert basketball decisions.

Paige didn't do anything until after CC graduated? Like what? Win a championship? Neither did CC.

No one will buy that I'm an Iowa fan? 🤣🤣🤣. That's why they usually refer to me as a homer, right? I'm not sure where I've said anything here that would have to do with being an Iowa fan or not. You and I might not get along very well in person, tough guy. I don't appreciate being called things that I'm not. Nor do I appreciate being told that I'm acting.

Yes, run the ball. You got something right
