SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[darrell]

I’d like to see teams go zone now.

 

[EricSD]

I'm thrilled she's back at 100%. I know we've been told she looks really good in practice. Let's hope she shakes the rust off sooner rather than later. Happy for her, happy for the team, happy for the fans!

BTW that was a pretty cool video announcing she is back. I wonder who did it? Azzi or one of the other players? Or maybe the person in charge of the video stuff (what Ben Cantor used to do)?

 

[GoUconn7961]

Just saw a few posts on BlueSky! So excited.

Please let's not expect a 40 point game. I know a lot on here will get the sads if she doesn't score like she normally does.
I am guardedly optimistic.

How I am feeling right now! Might have to call in a sub for the rest of the day!

My local girl is back! I want the rest of the BY to see what I've seen! Azzi from 6 years ago.

Let’s gooooo

Yanna… you are next!!

Swerve Even though I am more of a metal or hair band fan, I have always loved this song.
Swerve back Welcome back Azzi. I am guessing that she will be the first off the bench tonight.

MilfordHusky - There is no longer any need to convince us. We know Azzi is capable of being an All-American on the college level. Let’s just hope she can stay healthy and have a long career.

Love this, one of my all-time favorites on quad. I like Azzi more. You go girl.

 

[Bigboote]

Geno gave her FOUR reallys when he was saying how good she looks. “Really, really, really good. Really.” We know what three reallys means; I don’t remember the last time he gave someone four.

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.

[ConnManFan]

Great news! I am going to give her a one game grace period before i expect her to look like a first team All-American and a presumptive top 3 WNBA pick.

 

[kidfrom360]

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

 

[DefenseBB]

Ok, so where's the discussion "does she start?" and @Bone Dog prognostication of 100 point game led by Paige's 27, Sarah's 23 and Azzi's 21?

 

[huskeynut]

Very happy that Azzi is back.

As to expectations, I have none. She will get into game shape. Whether she starts or not is immaterial to me. It's keeping healthy and the knee holds up.

 

[jabstep]

Wow we might get to see Paige and Azzi on the court at the same time tonight. I am excited. We could see the 4 guards lineup at some point tonight. Fire away Azzi!!!

I just hope she follows Morgan and Allie's lead and makes her first 3 pointer and we get a BIG smile from her.
I'm thinking about 8-10 minutes for her as she builds up her confidence, both in her knee and in her shot.

 

[MSGRET]

Hope she does well in her first game back. I believe that the rest of Woman's College Basketball just had an OH S*** moment, including both USC's and ND.

 

[Ozimoto]

This is good news for sure. Time to pull out an "Animal House" film clip.

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



This got played at my wedding by the way.

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.”
