In a game where probably not many fans will be "satisfied", UCONN stormed out the first quarter, held on for the 2nd, and got outplayed in the 2nd half. L'ville is no slouch. For everyone who thought it would be a blowout, think again.

Only 2 choices for the B-A today. What say you?
 
Not as sharp 2nd half but Louisville had a lot to do with that by cutting down on turnovers & making shots. Louisville was a little better but we did what needed to do to stay in control of the game. I thought the pace actually helped us during the 2nd half taking time away that Louisville had to come back - that pace almost made it necessary for Louisville to make every shot & we weren't going to keep shooting in the 2nd half the way we did in the 1st half. A great win for us. I'm thinking we will see Louisville again in late March/early April...

You could make a case for the defensive job Kia did in the 1st half on Durr. Anyone that ever tried having to face guard a player that way knows how hard that is.

Oddly, it felt like Chris Dailey's night. You only get into the HOF once, so CD gets my BA for this night.

She didn't play. If you want to start a Chris Dailey thread regarding her incredible career and all she's meant to UCONN, that's great, but that's not the point of the bad-ass award...

Why in the second we are no longer going to Katie-Lou? WE start taking shots which we shouldn't and missing which allowed Louiville to get back in the game. Why are Azura outside shots so off, not even close?

Gabby a close second.
Special recognition to Gabby and Lou for creative hair styles.

I thought Lou was fantastic and Gabby played wonderfully and with great energy! Not much of a shocker about that, is there? I felt Kia played a great game, particularly on the defensive side but was disappointed with Crystal's performance and with Pheesa, as well. Though Pheesa made a few nice plays late in the game, for long periods I thought she was invisible. Crystal couldn't hit the broad side of a barn but I guess she had to make the defense honest. UConn's shooting in the second half was pretty poor but their defense stayed reasonably solid in that second half.
 
Asia Durr. Face guarded and confused for much of the game she found a way to make UConn pay time and again in the second half. My respect for her grows. My POG, and a fine young lady at that.

Also she had last second shots regarding shot clock instead of setting her up early to your point.

Surely some truth in what happened later in the game.

I saw a couple second half shots where she got that late pass when she wasn't in any position to do anything but shoot a poor shot because of an expiring clock. The passing wasn't as crisp in the latter part of the game, to say the least.

Katie Lou-ser-villes them! She gets my vote.
 
While many may pick the high scorer or who ever had the most rebounds which are very important I do not. My B-A goes to the TEAM...;)
While in modern times in sports Geno is known as the head coach, if this was played in what I will call days gone by he would be known as Maitr de ballet!
This game was won like many are by UConn because of unselfish sharing of the ball and passing that more men's teams should be paying attention to.

The game was won in the first half with very crisp passing and of course some lights out shooting. No team in a decent match shoots the same % both half's as was proof with L'vlle picking it up in the second. It is a shame for UConn players that only one player can get an assist on a basket. It is frequent a 3/4 length of the court pass goes to the next passer who gets it to the cutter for the hoop and the assist. But then again, they love to share the ball. All good and fun to watch. :D

No. We're working on the dual (or dueling?) threads issue.

There will be only one BadAss™ thread, started by Kibitzer if at all.

Very clever. Perhaps you deserve at least one BA vote!
