Awesome for Paige! Does this mean Clark is Co-Player of the Year? Not for this award, but Caitlin Clark is also a great player herself!!!

I love seeing Nika and only Nika in the background here. The sisters from different mothers.

I found myself wondering if Paige would have won this if she were on Stanford, South Carolina, Maryland, or even a different UConn team, one with an upperclassman or two like Stewie and Diana.

Paige always says she and Nika are Twins! Does that mean Nika can consider herself co-winner? j/k but I did notice they shared a study table, and Edwards was the first other than Nika to go congratulate her.

Discussing Bueckers' POY award Geno turned it around, saying (paraphrased) " Oh? Says who? A bunch of voters?" She is the best player when I tell her she is. She is in for a surprise. Paige is going to regret winning this award, trust me."

Awesome! Wow! Now the target on her back just got much, much bigger. Well deserved, and even if the AP writers' pick for Coach of the Year was questionable, they made the right choice for POY! When can we start saying "We have Paige and they don't"? It's a wonderful and deserved award, but I kind of wish that they had held off another week before presenting it, although doing so would have greatly reduced the hype value for women's college basketball. But it's got to be tough for Paige to go out and play this weekend, with the weight of this award around her neck. "OK, kid. We've given you an award that is totally unprecedented. Now go out there and prove to us that you're worth it by doing something really historic. Just playing well ain't gonna cut it, now!" It's quite a burden. But if anyone can do it ...

Paige seems to be unflappable on the court. She may have been emotional when presented with the award, but when the ball goes up, she may have a couple of minutes of nerves, but no more than that.
