Saniya had a good game of active hands today. Got her hand on a lot of balls, including the poke to set up Lou's home run ball to Kia.
Don't you love it when you can use in a basketball game a term used in a football game that refers to an aspect of a baseball game?

Turnovers do not tell the entire story. You can't have tunnel vision when evaluating a player's performance. All you saw was the 4 turnovers. Let's take a closer look at Crystal's overall performance today.
1. She had 2 steals, and 2 rebounds.
2. She had 3 assists. She would have had 5 assists if Butler had not missed the two bunnies under the basket on two good passes she gave her.
3. She played good to very good defense today. She was the first player to dive on the floor for a loose ball, and passed it to a teammate.
4. SHE ran the point today. SHE had the ball in her hands, and ran the offense most of the game, not Chong, not Nurse, HER!!!
5. She did make a couple of bad decisions on offense, but she could have made more, but she didn't. She did not play perfect today, but neither did anyone else.
6. She had 14 points today. She was the third leading scorer for UConn today. She made BOTH of her free throws. She out scored every other player for UCF except Lewis. Danger took 9 shots today. Lewis took 26.
7. Danger made more good plays and decisions today than bad. I didn't notice her being out of position at any time today. Crystal had a very good game. With Nurse still on the mend, we needed Crystal today, and she came through, BIG time.
I agree with and wholeheartedly endorse Shorty Dee's award to Crystal Dangerfield for an "Honorable mention" Badass for today's game. She earned it!!! Good game today Crystal.

Good catch. I forgot to mention Lou, who played well, just not at Badass level (with Gabby and Pheesa).
Honorable mention for her--or anyone? OK by me, but I have never identified them or kept track of nominations by others. It's all I can manage to identify the baddest one(s), make a comment, and occasionally respond to BY demand for "further review." It's been enjoyable and enriching for 70 victorious games--and counting--seven to go!
GO HUSKIES!

I'm sure Crystal heard something from the coaches about her handle yesterday.. Doubt if she'll repeat it (The turnovers seemed careless).
