Azzi on the Wall of Honor!

[MilfordHusky]

My local girl was named a 1st Team All-American by the USBWA (Basketball Writers). She was chosen along with Sarah, Betts, Blakes, and Hidalgo.

Well-deserved!

 

[and one]

You know you have a pretty good team when two of your starters are 1st team All American. Anyone know off-hand if UConn has had two 1st team All Americans in one year before this year? Any other team?

Lou and Napheesa were. Also Stewie and Moriah.

Commentators have often noted that many teams are beaten before they take the court. I think two things just occurred to reinforce that phenomenon.

Well USBWA only started doing 3 teams (5 member - before that it was one 10 member team) in 2018-2019

In 2019-2020 Oregon had two 1st team and one 2nd team (Ruthy Hebard, Sabrinia Ionescu, Satou Sabally)

On the 10 member teams, UCONN has had 2-3 members a few times.

Every March and April the same topic arises: Huskies of Honor criteria.
Some say it is being named to the 10-member WBCA (Women's Basketball Coaches Association) All-America first team.
Graduating from UConn.
Others say being named to the USBWA AA first team (like this thread)?
Anyone know which AA team it really is?

My guess is that Azzi's jersey will be added next season, when she has free time to come back to Gampel, much like the ceremony for Aaliyah Edwards this season.

See post #13. UConn is the only team with multiple first-teamers in the same season.

I like Latson, but her numbers have definitely taken a hit.

Deservedly earned, Azzi and if she had been healthy without all her injuries , would have had 4 All-American honours. The last two years proved how fantastic Azzi's career would have been. GO AZZI!!!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!

 

[ABCDFE]

wow, Maya!

 

[MilfordHusky]

wow, Maya!

4-timers: Maya, Courtney Paris, potentially Hidalgo

Way to go Azzi! Well deserved and it will be nice seeing your name up on the wall. Congratulations
