Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4428617, member: 5798"] Because I would like to see the yard be on the same page as much as possible, is why I shared the thought I did about the BA designation. Here's an example of what I'm thinking. It the headline from Mike Anthony's column today in the CT Post: [SIZE=5]Difference for UConn women's basketball team in win over Texas? [/SIZE][B][SIZE=5]Azzi Fudd's 'NBA performance' [[/SIZE][/B][URL='https://www.ctpost.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/article/Azzi-Fudd-uconn-women-s-basketball-texas-17584515.php'][B][SIZE=5]LINK[/SIZE][/B][/URL][B][SIZE=5]] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1668540286448.png"]80719[/ATTACH][/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=4]You and I would both agree that UConn's win last night was indeed a [B]team effort,[/B] but Azzi's performance WAS THE DIFFERENCE. Anthony named only one player, Azzi. He could have named 2-3 others, but he didn't. There are ALWAYS other players that have a part in a team's victory. Last night was no different. Azzi did not do it by herself, but she did most of the heavy lifting. Lou got us going early until Azzi warmed up. There is usually[B] one [/B]that stands out. THAT player (and it will vary from game to game) is the BADDASS. UConn won by 7 points. If Azzi scores 20, we lose. Her 32 kept Texas from coming from behind and ultimately cost them the game. Every time they tried to make a run, Azzi stopped it with a basket. In some cases a "clutch" basket with a defender in her face. That was the way most posters saw it. Lou, Aaliyah, Nika or Aubrey could very well be the BA for Sunday's game with NC State. No doubt they will all play a role in the game, but [B]only one[/B] will stand out from the crowd with an exceptional performance. [/SIZE] Being a nationally televised game, you can bet every team on UConn's and Texas' schedule was watching last night. The coaches if not the players, trying to do some advanced scouting. I'm so glad we have Azzi, and they don't. We needed to see her against a top 5 team to see what she's capable of. She showed us last night. Azzi is special. Thank goodness she chose UConn.
