Griffin = MVP

[Stinger92860]

She made the difference at a very important time!!!!

 

[Kaizen]

Aubrey brought the defense and the spirit to everyone. She has so much energy.

 

[Gusaford]

Her defense, rebounding, and energy were lights out. I know Azzi scored 16 in the third, but I thought AP was the real difference in that quarter. Everyone was feeding off her electricity.

 

[UConnCat]

Aubrey was tremendous.

 

[GG]

Aubrey’s D and rebounding made a huge difference. So impressed.

 

[UConnCat]

 

[Wonder 12]

She was tremendous and played hurt. What an effort!

 

[Valleyfan]

Agree 100 percent!

 

[Rowdy831]

I really thought Aubrey would be in the starting line up for Dorka tonight. This was the perfect game for her to shine and she did when she was in the game. Other than having a couple defenders in the game who couldn't cover the 3 point line they played really good. Azzi looked like herself and Caroline also played a strong game.

 

[uconnever]

Yep

 

[Kaizen]

Oh absolutely 100 %. Aubrey + Azzi bring the big win.

 

[Zarathustra]

She made the difference at a very important time!!!!

Agreed!

 

[RoadMaster]

Baylor Coach: "Griffin was the game changer for them"
- Agreed!

I thought I was the only one. Usually the BA award goes to the highest scorer, but I'm sure that long time Conn fans recognize the contribution that Griffin made tonight.

 

[socal613ws]

yea I don't understand why she doesn't start, soon as I saw the lineup was puzzled

 

[Kaizen]

I really like this photo, shows the sisters and teammate's love.

[Classof87]

I don’t mind having her come off the bench, she is a jolt of energy that I don’t think we would get from having Dorka coming off the bench.

 

[Blakeon18]

SoCal: not starting...trying to limit her minutes due to back?

 

[Kaizen]

So happy everyone has the same feeling of Aubrey changing the energy for the whole team ......cannot be happier tonight .

 

[Wonder 12]

Missed her so much last year. She can fly. I don’t know of anyone else that can.

 

[Boreifs]

Carol and Aubrey are game changers coming off the bench. Aubrey’s offensive rebounds changed the game; Carol’s defensive rebounds kept the game out of reach. By the time Aalijah came back on the court, the game had been decided.

 

[Shorty Dee]

Aubrey was the spark off the bench. She was a rebounding machine. Aubrey was also a thorn in Baylor's side!!

 

[Hayven]

Nika just said in the postgame press conference that Aubrey is the player of the game

 

[UcMiami]

She was tremendous and played hurt. What an effort!

I don't think she is actually 'playing hurt', I think the heat/massage thingy is there for prevention sort of like the days when Diana Taurasi would lie on her back off to the side when she wasn't in the game.

[Ardenque]

I think Aaliyah Edwards getting her fourth foul was a blessing in disguise.
It brought Griffin onto the court. She immediately went into overdrive and changed the whole feel of the game.
It was fun to watch.

 

[CTinLA]

Aubrey’s effort, especially coming in for Aaliyah in the third quarter, was tremendous. She was everywhere on a few possessions, and sparked the run that put the game away. It was an impressive effort.
