Kibitzer Memorial Badass award - UConn vs Arkansas

[HuskyNan]

Who’s today’s badass?

 

[hoopsfan22]

Easy: Paige Bueckers.

 

[huskeynut]

Paige - of course!

 

[Aluminny69]

NO Doubt!! Paige.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Ms. Buckets for sure.

 

[quavik]

Paige. On fire!

 

[oldude]

I was really hoping the BA could be someone other than Paige today. Nope. Paige took over the game with her career high, without a single 3-pt basket.

 

[UConn82]

I believe Husky Nan was being tongue in cheek, which I find humorous and apt.

 

[Woof 101]

Paige all the way today!
Honorable mention goes to fans in the stands and two teams being able to shake hands post game without masks.

Umm, I don't think so. If I'm not mistaken, last season Kibitzer posted the Badass award after every game. HuskyNan seized the opportunity to continue the tradition.
Or I could be totally wrong.

Paige!!!

My badass award goes to Paige. Paige, Paige she's our lady....if she can't do it, no one can!!!!

Paige!!!

Well, most of the time, the BA award goes to the highest scorer but IMO it should go to the most impactful player. Clearly, that was Paige today. She took over the game and changed the pace so that it favored the Huskies. I would like to point out, though, that the most harmful Arkansas runs came when Aaliyah was on the bench. While Aaliyah isn’t the Badass today, I think Kib might have given her an Honorable Mention.

And a shout out to Evina as well!

@Tonyc, what say you?

(But it is Paige.)

The Arkansas Head coach. He made Uconn's storied defense look like it was a high school defense and how did they get so many rebounds ..SMH . They were aggressive and got our bigs in foul trouble he just wrote the blue print on competing against us and with better talent who knows. If not for Paige this would have been a different out come she learned from last year and stopped deferring when her team needs her as for the Arkansas couch he just jumped to the front of the line if and when Geno calls it a career

 

[Tonyc]

Just got back from the game. See my thread

 

[Tonyc]

Goes to Paige. What a performance. She was there when we needed someone to step up. Her grace and leadership on the floor to lead and to stand up when we needed it most. She has a gift that stands out and has the ability to perform at the highest level when she is needed to.

Paige well deserves the award ....Paige and Jim Mora

 

[Bigpetunia]

Over the course of the next three seasons, for this honor to continue to have any meaning, we might need to consider renaming it "The Kibitzer Memorial Who Besides Paige (?) Badass Award!"

To be fair ,UConn held Arkansas to 38.7% from inside the arc and 22.7% from beyond the arc so not as bad as people are making the defense out to be. Was it pretty, surely not but the stats are what they are.

No Paige, no win today it is as simple as that.

Awesome photo.

Paige, with honorable mention to Evina, who almost had a double double. The remainder of the starting 5 had both good and bad in their game today, but I don't think we would have won without them.
