Kibitzer Bad-Ass Award - UCONN vs. Houston

[EricLA]

So I'm watching the game now and I haven't had a chance to see who I think the B-A should be, so I'm going off the box score. Who do you think was the Bad-Ass vs. Houston?

I did want to give a shout out to Irwin - earned as many minutes as Walker, and was way more productive - 8 points on 4-5 shooting...

 

[Golden Husky]

I'd give it to UConn's 1-2-2 zone defense. Nasty.

 

[Crossover]

I'm gonna go with Crystal. Per minutes played, I would vote Kyla.

For the 1st time ever, I’m casting my vote for “other,” specifically for Danger. While this game was still a game, which wasn’t all that long, Danger was all over the court, running the offense, setting up her teammates, making steals, getting a hand on a bunch of passes, diving on the floor for loose balls and playing with incredible energy that set the tone for the Huskies.

Crystal. No question.

 

[Zanzman]

Agree with Danger for bad ass award but loved Kyla’s energy

You nailed it oldude. That's the game I saw.

I voted for Other. She played better than the others.

 

[EricLA]

An incredibly wide disbursement of voting today. I watched the entire game. Tough choice for me between Crystal and KLS.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Crystal for doing the worm on the floor going for the loose ball.

 

[Kaizen]

I vote Kyla. This young lady shows that her hard work gets reward.

 

[HuskylnSC]

Once again the Kia of The Game is herself

I cast my vote for Azure Stevens for her team high 19 pts and 10 rebounds. She was most aggressive around the rim and had 3 blocks and deflected a lot of passes - a definite defensive presence. Plus she only had 1 turnover in her 25 minutes.

 

[huskeynut]

Crystal. Her energy and determination drove the team.

 

[Bronxjeff]

Crystal for the dive and swimming after the loose ball! Kyla gets an honorable mention.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I'd give it to Crystal. She was the Energizer Bunny in hyper-mode, playing like a woman possessed. She also hit some shots.

I think Z was second, as she put up another double-double off the bench. She put the ball on the floor pretty well and is getting better and better inside, even on the defensive end.

I thought Lou did a good job and was a close third. She hit threes, cut to the hoop, deflected passes, ran the floor, and defended underneath.

Crystal without a doubt. She gave the team so much energy and inspiration. Such a joy to watch. How she did not make your list is beyond me. SNY players of the game also gave her no respect. They chose Lou and Kia but I think Crystal and Z were better choices.

 

[OldAlum]

Crystal. She and Gabby set the tone on defense. Amazing that I am applauding Crystals defense. I remember watching her a year ago against Texas and she couldn't keep anyone in front of her! She has worked hard and come so far.

The OP mentions that he's going off the box score, having not yet seen the game at the time of the poll. I think this is a perfect example of the box score not reflecting a player's true contribution to the game.

But I have no excuse for SNY. Can't understand how they could give POG to anyone other than Danger.

Oops. Did not see that. Thanks.
