She scored the last 4 point of regulation to send the game to overtime and scored all 9 of her team's points in OT to secure the victory. That is the definition of clutch.
@Kyroh Rin yeah, cuz when you’re the #1 team in the nation it’s usually a reflection of “garbage competition” and how horrible you are🙄. South Carolina is a very good team. Give credit where credit is due, the girl is a beast and the Huskies likely would have lost the game if anyone other than her tried to take over. This is the 3rd game in a row that she’s scored 30 points, all while being a freshman!
What impressed me is she got 30 with only 1 three pointer and 2 FT against a good defensive team. She worked hard both on and off the ball to create chances to score and then the talent took it from there
She looks like she genuinely is just great at basketball. Her shot looks so pure and she doesnt have the typical shoulder push shot that you see a lot in womens college basketball and even the WNBA
⁰Geno made a comment during the post game interview that she is plays at the same fast all the time making the game slow down for her. Even Breanna Stewart didn't play this well in her first season.
Yeah, because they dont' move LOL! If you want to see chess being played go watch 2011 Mavericks playoff run. This is literally girls standing idle while one takes shots. Go watch 2014 Spurs Finals. That's CHESS being played. This is just 1 vs 1 basketball. 3:08 OMG LOOK AT THIS CHESS BEING PLAYED!!!!! OMG!!!!
@@jarretheller2244 they really were. I think the WNBA needs to allow players to play at their full potential. Yes fundamentals are apart of the game but there’s no problem with a iso ball
@Dabalo how you know sue bird but not taurasi 😂😂 wtf taurasi is like the Kobe/MJ of women’s basketball. That woman is a walking 50 bomb any time she lace em up
Dam she's only 5'11 why I thought she was taller maybe it's because her wingspan. Like her game she's a hooper Hooper. She got that Steph Curry demeanor....looks all innocent but deep down a killer!
Extremely well schooled. Looked like they got about 150 pts. just cutting to the basket. SC might consider running some drills on, you know...interior defense?
those leaning jumpers @7:01 are ridiculous. so difficult. an all-american performance.

This girl can become the best female basketball player of all time. When she gets there, I´ll proudly say that I followed her career since she was in High School. What a player!
Exactly right. SC big takes a step-back 3? SC guard outruns herself and falls, losing the ball out of bounds? Was funny, though, listening to the announcer comment on the step-back 3 as if it was a 360 dunk attempt. Geez.
I might just start watching WNBA once Page gets in. She's now one of my favorite basketball players (regardless of gender: M/F). Like, you can study her game and get better!#Clutch.
Thanks for posting! I enjoyed watching the highlights of this game more than the 2021 superbowl highlights earlier this week. I knew this would be a great game. Paige is playing at a superstar level for a freshman.
She's literally the perfect player. Ball handles, shoots, passes, and finishes at an elite level in every category. And defends at a high level. It's not just that her game has no weaknesses It's that her game has no flaws...
She’s definitely an elite player, but try to pay attention to her games, even going back to hs, she doesn’t really go left. Still exciting to watch tho with her playmaking
@@SumyungGuy-fg2xv She's made some great shots going driving to her left off the backboard this year. But I agree that she will learn to go left more often
She’s awesome! She singlehandedly almost brought them back against my Razorbacks! I think that game made Geno finally tell her she needs to start being more selfish and taking over for the entire game! She’s the 1st option...not Williams. I think they all know that now.
I've only been watching her for about 6 months or so and she's really amazing. But credit where credit is due. The college game is a real step up from High School, it's clear that it's not nearly so easy for her now. She is having to work harder and is very often physically over matched in ways that almost never happened last year.
She’s averaging 21-5-5 as a freshman and just scored 30 against the #1 team in the country. 3rd straight game of 30 or more. What are you talking about 🤣
Paige Bueckers was really good her first season at UCONN. She came back well from injury in 2021-2022. And I hope she recovers from her torn ACL to be really good again. At this point in her career, however, she has missed more games than she has played.
She's flat out clutch! You can't teach that. You either have it or you don't and she's got clutch to spare. You can tell she's the best player on the court... by far.
This was a great game Paige Buckets Turned up shout out to @Swish. My reaction to this game is up and if anyone wants to come through I would appreciate it!
What's crazy is she's not even a crazy grind athlete outside the gym she just plays and is nice. I think I remember seeing she didn't start playing until late. Y'all sleeping on Zia hard tho knew it was her from the half court shot it's sad they were shocked. I would've went crazy.
Holy mackerel! The "Don Nelson Shot"!! Both Laker fans and Celtic fans will never forget the dagger in the closing seconds of Game 7. Also the final game where Chamberlain and Russell went head to head. If she is channeling THAT basketball lineage, she is special indeed.
Good game! Zia need to work on fighting picks, turnovers, and leadership(can see her getting frustrated too much visually). So she can be #2 in country
At the 3:57mark is a true floor general. She could of pushed like alot of freshman but she showed poise, situational awareness and the ability to coach on the floor.
She scored the last 4 point of regulation to send the game to overtime and scored all 9 of her team's points in OT to secure the victory. That is the definition of clutch.
She had all 9 of their points in OT.
Exactly Michael Jorchoke never did that
@@dabalo3995 yea 6-0 in the finals is a major choke stAts.

She looks like she's starting to realize she's way better than everyone else on the court, including her teammates
Ong
She is she been realized it
She is so much better. Usually when girls play they have set shots but she has an ability to pull up. She is bound for greatness
@@Luhbraindead true! not a lot of women have a pull up shot when moving in any direction
Her teammates really can blow a layup.
What impressed me is she got 30 with only 1 three pointer and 2 FT against a good defensive team. She worked hard both on and off the ball to create chances to score and then the talent took it from there
You should want to get freethrows, it’s easy points
@@Rohan_Mehta free throws are not easy it's a mental game. Just look at Giannis Antentokoumpo, Wilt, Shaq and more.
@@danp9313 Well its NBA, the most pressured difficult league in the whole world of Basketball
Not gonna lie I never watch girl basketball before page buckets
me too
Me too.

she is great for the sport if she can do that

@@anegondia8354 where weak people gotta put everything into their shot and fling in from their chest or shoulder
paige is playing chess .everyone else is playing checkers. her anticipation is off the charts. it's like she sees the play before it happens.
⁰Geno made a comment during the post game interview that she is plays at the same fast all the time making the game slow down for her. Even Breanna Stewart didn't play this well in her first season.
@@johnrothwell8917 the closet comparison fur me is luka doncic

That's CHESS being played. This is just 1 vs 1 basketball. 3:08 OMG LOOK AT THIS CHESS BEING PLAYED!!!!! OMG!!!!
I agree.. Her anticipation is remarkable.
One other thing I like about Paige is her sudden change of acceleration when she goes for a drive layups. So swift!!!!
She will change women’s basketball forever she the makes her teammates averages go up just off her passes alone !! Future WNBA hof 👏🏾🙌🏾
She will probably be the one to change women’s basketball
Like MJ did to the nba
That's a lot of pressure. Elena Delle Donne and Breanna Stewart were also once in a generation talents.
@@jarretheller2244 they really were. I think the WNBA needs to allow players to play at their full potential. Yes fundamentals are apart of the game but there’s no problem with a iso ball
@@II-nq2gy Magic and Bird were the ones who changed it. Jordan came in after them
@@fezzik7619 jordan made the game worldwide he made it popular around the world magic and bird only made it popular in America
Paige drops dimes like Sue Bird and gets buckets like Diana Taurasi... she's the truth
Idk who either of those people are, but she's cold asf
I only know Sue bird but I'm sure the others are better than Michael Jorchoke as well
@Dabalo how you know sue bird but not taurasi 😂😂 wtf taurasi is like the Kobe/MJ of women’s basketball. That woman is a walking 50 bomb any time she lace em up
Best analysis thus far🤓
Vincent Lee cause they’re WNBA players lol
Dam she's only 5'11 why I thought she was taller maybe it's because her wingspan. Like her game she's a hooper Hooper. She got that Steph Curry demeanor....looks all innocent but deep down a killer!
definitely! looks very unassuming ...then BAM
Steph Curry mentored her
She’s built like a basketball player, usually women have shorter arms and legs even in comparison to their body, she’s long
Didn't realize she was only 5'11"...some people just really know the game...amazing.
@@JonReynoldsESQ to be fair 5'11 is actually tall for a girl
Geno runs a gorgeous offense bro. They’re all so fluid and sound on defense
Extremely well schooled. Looked like they got about 150 pts. just cutting to the basket. SC might consider running some drills on, you know...interior defense?
@@alanfoster6589 #1 was getting abused on simple backdoor cuts. Definitely a tape worth watching after the game
Her stats are absolutely insane. 21 ppg 6 apg on 57% from the floor and 56% from 3. She’s the best player in the country and she’s not even 20.
That's nuts Michael JorBald never did this
If MJ was a girl they might be similar.
@@NegativeAccelerate how is it might when their stats are similar lol
Beautiful discipline.. love those back door cuts and dimes.
Someone needs to tell SC that is actually a play.
she is so legit. mad respect to a real hooper
those leaning jumpers @7:01 are ridiculous. so difficult. an all-american performance.
This girl can become the best female basketball player of all time. When she gets there, I´ll proudly say that I followed her career since she was in High School. What a player!
Not even the best UConn player lol. But she's good.
quit it,shes more than good,like he said,she has the potential to be an all time great.
One day she'll be as dominant as Dungee
Her confidence is getting better with each game. She just does it all. And clutch? The last 13 points!
Shes more clutch than Michael JorChoke
Looks like her skill is steadily improving as well. That euro-layin hook finish on the opposite side of the hoop was simply incredible.
@@gseric4721 game before she had a Dr-J-like reverse lay-up that was stunning!
So shes gonna be an All American, NCAA Player of the Year, and everything else...as a freshman! Got It
If only Dungee had not destroyed her and UConn
@@dajosee this reply didn’t age well... bueckers is the ap national player of the year...
@@lydiapatton41 She's awesome no doubt about it

Been very disappointed with christyn Williams this season
Im glad she shows up in the clutch unlike Michael Jorchoke
Exactly right. SC big takes a step-back 3? SC guard outruns herself and falls, losing the ball out of bounds?

@@dabalo3995 when your so unathletic and clueless when it comes to sports you spit out garbage like this
Fun fact : first time watching girls basketball and enjoying it
Best female player Ive seen since Diana Taurasi.. just freaking dominating out there 👏👏👏
She has the quickest release I've seen in women's college basketball. Defenders know she's going to shoot but can't get a hand up in time.
Fam I swear. Only person I’ve seen with a shooting arsenal like this was taurasi. Her handle not as good but fam, Paige is the fucking truth lmao
Maya moore
Herr vision, passing and scoring abilities are off the charts....she's special
Paige is continuously breaking records.
She's already broken all of Michael JorLoser's records
I might just start watching WNBA once Page gets in. She's now one of my favorite basketball players (regardless of gender: M/F). Like, you can study her game and get better!#Clutch.
She's the sport's Einstein. Her basketball IQ is that good.
Don't forget Zia Cooke & Hailey Van Lith.
She has as good of a basketball IQ as anyone I've ever seen, she's so Magic like. Man or woman, you recognize skill
Thanks for posting! I enjoyed watching the highlights of this game more than the 2021 superbowl highlights earlier this week. I knew this would be a great game. Paige is playing at a superstar level for a freshman.

She's literally the perfect player. Ball handles, shoots, passes, and finishes at an elite level in every category. And defends at a high level. It's not just that her game has no weaknesses It's that her game has no flaws...
For sure way better than Michael JorBum

@@SumyungGuy-fg2xv She's made some great shots going driving to her left off the backboard this year. But I agree that she will learn to go left more often
Handles, off ball cuts, vision, got a J, iso, attacking the rim, pick and roll, outlet passes, this girl has all the weapons.
That last three gave me goose bumps
She’s awesome! She singlehandedly almost brought them back against my Razorbacks! I think that game made Geno finally tell her she needs to start being more selfish and taking over for the entire game! She’s the 1st option...not Williams. I think they all know that now.
So smooth, ice cold....Paige channeling Kobe. Her game is such a beauty to watch.
Paige doesn’t even break a sweat
Michael JorBum would sweat after one quarter because he was out of shape. Michael JorFat.
Im telling you, she will be the best female basketball player ever. Im 100 percent serious
Her game reminds me so much of Larry Bird...her basketball IQ is extraordinary!
Paige is so talented.
Her pull up J off the dribble is as good or better than anyone in the country. (Men's ball included)
Middy is deadly
Most complete player in the country already.

I watched Paige and the very first player that popped into my mind, Pete Maravich!!!
So nobody gonna say a word about Griffin brickin the shit out of the backboard!!!!!!! 3:20, nothing but board
She's got such a smooth game! Great pull up, distributor, and awesome moving without the ball!
I LOVE PAAAAAIGE!!! Pure Baller!!!
Watching her play lifts my spirits in these tough times.
Haters say she couldn't score vs. good comp, huh? 😌😌😌
Oh really? 👀👀
Paige Bueckers was really good her first season at UCONN. She came back well from injury in 2021-2022. And I hope she recovers from her torn ACL to be really good again. At this point in her career, however, she has missed more games than she has played.
Don’t underestimate the strength of the team around her and how well most of them move on offense and defense. Their movement is key
She's flat out clutch! You can't teach that. You either have it or you don't and she's got clutch to spare. You can tell she's the best player on the court... by far.
Her mid-range game is pretty elite
She's a PRO
her teammates are setting great screens and cutting off the ball for her. Geno is a great coach and bueckers is smoooooth
Would love to see her play some day.
Congrats Huskies🏀👍. Awesome win. Anthony SC fan, where are you bro?
i've been looking for that person too lmaoo he's been so loud about paige getting locked💀💀🤚🏼
I’d be lying if I said I was shocked. She’s an absolute bucket. Nothing less was to be expected 🤷♂️
Beckers really stepped up in overtime...good thing!
This was a great game Paige Buckets Turned up shout out to @Swish. My reaction to this game is up and if anyone wants to come through I would appreciate it!
Stephen Curry Really Changed The Game And Paige’s Game is Similar to STEPH’s One👌🏼🏀🏀✨💯
bad take
She is good, also very good is Iowa's Caitlin Clark, having gotten 39 points in her last game. there are some really great players out there!
Her basketball IQ is off the charts. she was killing her defender with the backdoor cuts
a performance for the ages
Kobe follows her, I think that should tell you how good she is
Paige is just a smooth player I will have to start watching WNBA when she get drafted
You go girl glad to see you killing out there
She is good. Definitely a go to player on the court.
The total package. Offense and defense
There you go girl take control an lead your team thats what im talking bout big champion 💪💪💪go Uconn

paige shut down zia
Congratulations Paige. I been watching you since highschool. Wondering how you would do in college.
Her 3 point shot at the end of the shot clock that bounced higher than the backboard and dropped in was unexpected, but after all maybe not.
She's the best women basketball player I've ever seen. And she's only going to get better. Just wow.
Paige is a baller no joke she makes it look so easy.
when Kobe said she is the best she is the best
5:11 was pretty slick
Holy mackerel! The "Don Nelson Shot"!! Both Laker fans and Celtic fans will never forget the dagger in the closing seconds of Game 7. Also the final game where Chamberlain and Russell went head to head. If she is channeling THAT basketball lineage, she is special indeed.
She reminds me of Lemelo so much in the fact that she barely looks like she’s trying with her offensive game is so similar
Female version of Larry Bird

she made Zia Cooke look bad😂😂🤦🏽♂️

First girl I’ve ever seen where I was confident she would beat most male HS players 1v1.
