Kibitzer Memorial Badass Award

My badass award goes to Aubrey and Azzi. They both were amazing!!!! If you didn't know that Aubrey missed the whole season last year, and back surgery....you wouldn't know it by this game!!!! Azzi is Steph Curry 2.0!! Honable mention Aaliyah and Nika.

Azzi scored most of her points once her teammates got the lead to 10 and she had 7 to's.

The correct answer is Aubrey.

So a seemingly unpopular fact, but a fact nonetheless; Fudd scored 20 of her 32 after Uconn was up double digits. They were still very big points though as Texas had no quit in them.

I demur. The team spread the scoring around and Texas was unable to concentrate on any one player. Azzi just elevated her play to an otherworldly plane in the second half

True but it seemed to me that in the 4th quarter, Azzi took over, took most of the outside shots and made darn near every one. I was hoping to find the player boxscore per quarter but gave up, so I may have to watch MJL243's replay tomorrow with a notepad in hand.
I agree that this was a well rounded, complete team effort and win though.
 
Without question, AZZI FUDD!!! She earned the respect of every one on our team and the dismay on Texas,s team. I'm also overjoyed that we beat Vic Schaefer. I still haven't got over him and MSU. This is a precurser of what's to come from Azzi. There will many, many more games like this one. GO HUSKIES!!!

Is there a question? Azzi
Expand ...
Not if you watched the game and you’re objective. :cool: Sure, other players played well, but Azzi played best. There will be nights when there will be several players that an argument could be made for. Tonight is not one of them.

The boneyard usually cannot collectively agree on anything. Azzi being the BA tonight comes close. No UConn player had a better night than Azzi did.

Azzi was amazing... but kudos need to go out to Aubrey, Dorka, Nika, and Aaliyah...

This was a team effort and this team showed some grit.... The Team should be proud of itself!

And Honorable mention to Lou

That is very concerning. Very concerning indeed!

Lou had a good game. Aubrey was better. Aaliyah held her own against some big bodies. Nika is literally a badass all the time. Azzi had a good game for the first 3 quarters and then came the fourth quarter: Texas - 20 points; UConn minus Azzi - 3 points; Azzi - 17 points. Gotta go with Azzi.

Azzi! She's our best point guard and our best shooting guard. She handles the ball so well and she's wicked fast. She may have to play both positions at the same time going forward. That young lady is freaking good!!!

Ummm, no. I am totally team Azzi, and am rooting for her to be named player of the year, but she is not our best point guard. That would be Nika, on both sides of the court. I have been blown away by Nika's abilities as a distributor, and by how well she organizes the offense. Plus when Aziz plays pg she has to make sure that everyone eats, which limits her shots and plays into her reluctance to take over a game, even when that is needed.
 
AZZI... HM to everyone.
Special accolades to the refs for NOT calling all those TEXAS FLOPS
in front of AZZI. Watch the replays.... Coach Schaefer plan was to
flop AZZI into foul trouble. KUDOS to the refs!!

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I may be), my understanding is there is only 1 player designated the BADDASS. This is not an award or designation that is split or shared, although posters like to do so. There can be honorable mentions, but only 1 trophy per game. The Kibitzer started this award. I don't recall him ever stating any formal guidelines for selecting a BA. He simply made the call after each game. That being said....................

Let's make no mistake about it, This was Azzi's coming out game. This was a TEAM win!!! No argument about that. Azzi DID NOT do it alone. She had lots of help. But down the stretch, Azzi put this team on her back and carried it to victory. Lou got us going early. Azzi came out slow but got hot as the game progressed. UConn needed everything it got from everyone that played.

Let's keep it real and 100 friends, Azzi Fudd's play kept UConn in the game and out front. Every time Texas made a run, Azzi stopped it with a clutch basket. Of course other players made considerable contributions to this victory, and those contributions are duly recognized.
But Azzi was the BADDASS for this game. Texas lost by 7 points. UConn does not win this game without Azzi's 32 points. I respect the opinions of others and their right to express them. I always try to be and remain objective in my observations and my comments. The BADDASS designation for THIS game is a no brainer. One player stood out in this game without peer. Azzi Fudd.

Tonyc called it. He names the game's BA. He didn't elaborate. He didn't have to. If you saw the game, you knew who it was. In other games, there may be some doubt, and posters have made a case for different players. Fans can watch a game, any game and DO NOT see the game the same. That's OK. Based on all of the comments I read, AZZI is the consensus BA for this game, period!!! If she's not your BA, so be it. You can have your own BA. No problem. :cool:

Azzi was solid. No doubt about that! I still am just amazed at the level of conditioning this early in a season. You had 4 players play at least 35 MINUTES, being pressed and STILL beating the defense down the floor. The conditioning coach gets an A+ from me again. AND Taylor Jones was GASSED. I'm certain that's why she wasn't in the game toward the end.
 
Let me say this about my friend Kibitzer. We live less then a mile from each other. We went to games together for years. We are both Veterans and would meet at the American Legion in Norwalk as he would say for a couple of belts and talk about the team and the games. He was a LT Coronel in the US Army. Back in the day he would make limerick signs that would rhyme with the recruits names in them that would come to the Supershow and we would bring them to the Supershow. They were signs much like the fans bring today only they had limericks on them. We had to stop after the NCAA 37 page NCAA violation filed by Tenn. This past Veterans Day Ceremony at the Norwalk City Hall was the first one missed by Kib. Mrs Kib was there though. Kib was a classic and when he got ill it was tuff to watch. Mrs Kib was by his side taking care of him. He came up with the Badass award for one player in each game that he thought had the best game and there were no seconds. I am carrying on his tradition and proud to do so. Thank you to all of you who have liked this award and thank you to all of you who disagree with some of my picks We can all learn from each other.
 
Azzi was the superstar of the game, for sure, but if we're talking badass, then I'm going with Aaliyah, Nika, and Dorka (I can't choose just one.) This was a big Texas team but Juhasz and Edwards were more than a match for them. Whenever Nika walks on the court, she is the toughest player out there.
