Kibitzer Memorial Badass Award

[Tonyc]

Edwards double double

 

[darrell]

Can she share it with Dorka? 14/11 with two great blocks in the fourth.

 

[Next 12]

Edwards- double double, Dorka-double double, Azzi 26 points. GO HUSKIES!!!

 

[eebmg]

Azzi finding alot of ways to win when her 3pt shot was off. Add 6 steals. She is an excellent positional defender, Not as flashy as Nika but rock solid

 

[pghhuskydoc]

That whole starting 5 was pretty badass! Great energy.

 

[Shorty Dee]

My badass award goes to Aaliyah and Azzi.

 

[Kaizen]

Three tie with Azzi, Edwards and Droka.

This is so good this team now.

 

[oldude]

Going with Aaliyah. She was a force tonight with 14 & 12.

 

[Kaizen]

That whole starting 5 was pretty badass! Great energy.

The 3 benches are also great, special Aubrey.

 

[CL82]

Aliyah, Dorka are both good choices, but it takes a Badass to come back from back surgery and play with energy, athleticism and confidence. Aubrey Griffin is tonight’s badass.

 

[Zarathustra]

Everyone did well but.... How about AUBREY GRIFFIN! 13 points on 6 of 7 field goals!!!
including one for one from three-point land. EFFICIENCY!! 5 rebounds
AUBREY GRIFFIN IS HEALTHY AND IS BACK!! GO AUBREY!!!

Aubrey should be a starter. But then I have problem to remove one of the current 5 starters.

I like the energy Aubrey and Ayanna bring off the bench together. The bigger question is, assuming she’s healthy by Monday, does Caroline start or Lou?

It'd be really hard for Caroline to play her first competition (including scrimmages) against a team like Texas, so it should be Lou. I'd expect Caroline to show some rust... and that's if she's even playing.

Agreed re Ayanna and Aubrey!

Even of healthy, she will be rusty. She will come off the bench for a while imo

 

[HuskyNan]

My badass award goes to Tony for getting badass right. You rock, sir!

 

[Bigboote]

I'm with Zarathustra. Aubrey looked great out there, and that just bodes so well for the season. Assuming Caroline is available soon, that means, depending on how any game is going, UConn can bring in instant offense (Caroline or Lou) and/or instant defense with the first substitution.

Lou. No question

 

[Jackalope]

Come on -- Azzi for her 26 points and great defense. 6 Steals! She had hands up and was in the face of whomever she was defending.

 

[Going4Natty]

How about giving ans assist to the student section!!!! If they joint was rockin' they did it

 

[Ozimoto]

Kind of like Lays Potato Chips. Paraphrasing "no one can pick just one!"

 

[SCNCHuskie]

Aubrey should be a starter. But then I have problem to remove one of the current 5 starters.

She got starter minutes, 24 minutes, which was three less than Nika. Who the starters are is not always the most important factor.

 

[Woof 101]

For me was seeing Aubrey, getting genuine playing time was Baddass. That and she made the most of it.
She is arms and legs like a spider and fast. Going to be a fun year to watch.

 

[Blakeon18]

I was delighted to see how Aubrey played...solid minutes...she just looked sleek...fast/smooth.
Hit a pull-up...a trey..beautiful drives to the hoop...energy both ends of the court. She was one of many for the award
last night. Showed some of her 'high school' game as touted by a few here who saw her play in Ossining.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

The conditioning coach.

 

[huskeynut]

After watching a tape of the game, my pick is Aubrey.

She changes the game with her energy and athleticism.

 

[browns]

Azzi..nice to see her scoring when her 3 wasn't there

 

[Centerstream]

What a great dilemma this could be...

 

[MD#12Fan]

Nika. Full disclosure: I'm a huge fan and backer.
Paige could be my favorite female player ever, but IMO with Paige out, Nika's going to blossom.
She looked quicker than last year. She appears to be the floor general. Maybe with tougher competition, shots will open up for her and her O will shine brighter.
A Lindsay Whalen type- am I going crazy here? Long career in the WNBA. Tough guards don't grow on trees, just ask Patrick Beverley.

 

[sun]

I'll vote for Amari.
