32 points against the number 10 team in the country is pretty baddass to me. That said...Edwards
Something else that can be put to bed is the question of whether Lou can play at this level and speed.Nika Muhl. That should permanently settle the question of whether she's a good enough point guard.

Is anyone still wondering if Aubrey has fully recovered from her surgery?A poster in another thread got me thinking. Maybe a "pre-season" badass award should be given to Aubrey's orthopedic surgeon. Back surgery can be really scary. Some unfortunates do not come out well. Aubrey looks better than ever, Thanks Doc, whoever you are. You get my pre-season badass.
She said in a preseason interview she was all the way back!! Now you believe her.Join the club.Aubrey in a close one, for me. We jump out and build a significant lead to start the game with Aubrey the prime catalyst, after that it was steady great playing by entire team to keep expanding that lead. No one else on the team is as athletic or as quick as she, if she didn't start, we might not have built that critical early lead.
I'm starting to believe that if she were available last year, then maybe things would have been different.
So how close to those 15 assists do you think she’ll come against unranked Duke?I have to go with the gnat, better known as Nika, she was responsible for 35 points of the 91 scored, 32 off the assists with the and one by Lou, plus her 3 pointer. Then she had 15 of the teams 22 assists, tied for 2nd on the team with 6 rebounds, tied for second on the team steals with 2, with only 3 of the teams 14 T/O's in 39 minutes of play. She did all this with an attitude that showed and her assists to T/O ratio was outlandish at 5-1.
On CD going out to West Coast, I see no problem with it. As for Nika, I hope she breaks her own assists record with 20, Azzi scores 30+ in her 3rd straight game and UConn wins 115 - 65.So how close to those 15 assists do you think she’ll come against unranked Duke?
As we did anticipating playing Texas as being our first “real” test, so were we for NC State. We were their first ranked team this year. I don’t believe they did as well as they thought they would. This game exposed some things they need to clean up.
I wonder if CD makes that 10-hour round-trip flight to Oregon this week?

When you set the record for assists in a game for a team that has had point guards like Sue Bird and Moriah Jefferson among many other good point guards, you are a badass. Nika!
I concur, the Mother of All Badasses, Chris Dailey is the best choice among many worthy candidates!How about Coach Chris Dailey?! She left the court with a wave and a smile. After a major scare, you get bet that energized the team. Moreover, she taught all these bad asses a thing or two about how to be a badass!
Cheers to Coach Dailey!!!
THAT'S the thing about this team. Any one of the starters can end up being the BADASS for the game, not just Azzi. I calling it now. At some point this season, Aubrey is going to have a HUGE breakout game as she had at Seton Hall her freshman year. That is really a very easy and safe prediction. Based on her play in the last 3 games, you know she's going to break loose in one of them (maybe 2). Three games down, 28 to go.I’ve already come to expect the badass play every game from Nika, so I’m going to say Aubrey.
Hope it is 37 games, with the tounaments ....THAT'S the thing about this team. Any one of the starters can end up being the BADASS for the game, not just Azzi. I calling it now.
