Azzi is Back!!!

[Ozimoto]

And of course there is this one. The chorus anyway...



This got played at my wedding by the way.

I'm not greedy or overly optimistic as to what we can expect of Azzi in her first game back. My only wish is that she make her first 3 point attempt. After that all is gravy.

I would add that it comes off of a perfectly placed dime from Paige. That would literally blow the new roof off Gampel.

If Azzi and Paige are on the floor together, I see Paige as the PG with Azzi as the SG, Ash the 3, and the other two are either Jana, Ice, and Sarah. That will be one heck of a team on the floor.

As much as I'd love to see that, for the sake of all the Boneyarders who will be in attendance tonight, I hope it wouldn't literally blow the roof off.

Let’s make that “figuratively.”

You would not be able to hear Meg and Allen speaking for at least 5 minutes because of the noise.

Welcome back!!

 

[Skittles405]

Welcome back Azzi!!!!
Can’t wait to see how the other teams will try and guard us when Paige and Azzi ore in the floor together. Exciting times are a comin our way!!!

 

[Huskee11]

Great news!

She has been doing pre-game warmups and looking great, so I am not surprised. This makes perfect sense!

It will be nuts, hopefully not of the Tropicana Field variety but we will try.

I'm guessing off the bench mid to late first quarter. In front of 60+ former players on what is already one of the biggest nights in UConn WCBB history.

Cannot wait!

 

[darrell]

Do we think she starts or keep her on the bench as the 6th man to be a scoring spark?

She’s looked good in the practice videos, but I’d have her on the bench just to get a good crowd reaction when she checks in.

 

[BRS24]

I am setting realistic expectations for myself. IMHO, Azzi may only play 10-15 mins, 20 at the most. I'm sure they want to ease her in, not set the bar too high, and have her be comfortable in a real game mode.

There are a many who are critical of her defense, as if she is one dimensional; a jump shooter specialist with nothing else to contribute. Because of that, I would like to see those first points come way of her picking the pocket of a Fairleigh Dickinson guard, then racing the length of the court for an uncontested layup.

Either way, I wish nothing but the best for her!

I wouldn't expect much as it's been a year without competition. Would like to see how she moves and if she can make a few plays, great.
It will a very emotional night for UConn women's basketball.

Thank you for sharing this…super cute.

Wow for me this trumps the excitement of genos record. What a night!

It’s just like riding a bicycle….

 

[David54]

Don’t know how long it will take her to shake off the rust but she looks so much more mature,stronger and quicker than before injury. Very excited to have her back.

Good analogy, mainly because it's partly about leg strength. When she came back two seasons ago for the tournament, her shot was erratic because she lacked the leg strength and it was really visible. If her legs are strong now, the shot will return more quickly.

They’re raising their kids right….to be UConn fans

I'm hoping to see Bueckers, Fudd and Strong quickly become a human version of Ghidorah.

Don't know about the rest of the board, but this fan will be uttering a silent prayer every time she jumps or cuts.... at least for the first 20 minutes or so.
