Wasn't a huge fan of HVL for a while, but not sure if it's feeling bad for her at LSU, her Olympic journey, or this year at TCU, but I've really turned around on her.

TCU's backup center unironically has been more productive and helpful than Prince both in stats and effect on the game.
Prince pretty much a no show today. Not a pretty shooting game by either team. TCU shot a whopping 27% from the field and had 21 turnovers (leading to 17 points) . Texas (gag) is back in the Final Four.
As a fan I feel the basketball injury gods have cheated us out of seeing a JuJu vs Bueckers showdown to get to the Final Four.
Same story as our game against TCU: Prince does absolutely nothing before fouling out then the backup comes in and goes 3-5 for 6 pts and 8 rebounds.
Never ceased to be amazed at how stupid players are after they get a turnover and think that attacking the rim in a 1 on 2 or even 1 on 3 is the best move for their team. Lol. Just so dumb.
Watching this USC/UConn game…the speed at which the teams are moving is amazing. Night and Day different from the Texas/TCU game.
I've seriously always thought Paige is better than Clark. Injuries have just derailed her career.
Hopefully this doesn't derail the thread, but I had a thought that I'm curious what you and others think: why did CC become a national phenomenon while PB has largely gone unnoticed by national media?
To be fair, PB is getting plenty of attention from ESPN and other media outlets. She's not a nobody, but you don't see her face EVERYWHERE like CC was. Last year, you couldn't watch any WBB game without hearing something about CC, even in games that didn't involve her.
I'm wondering if it was some combination of: CC's consistent deep 3s that made for great highlights, CC's outlandish nature/behavior that draws eyeballs, and the fact that she was the "first" to get all the big attention. Now, WBB is a little more normalized with national attention so PB being so good is not as novel.
