I think it's how the game was affected. Yes scoring is important but how you manage and direct the floor is paramount. Nika was a General today.Azzi scores 32 and NOT player of the game?
It's her new baseline.Azzi scores 32 and NOT player of the game?

Aubrey was a one-woman theft machine! Her steals and rebounds were big time!This is really tough. All of UConn's starter were worthy of the Badass today. I'm going with Aubrey who had to step in for Dorka and played her best game ever as a UConn Husky.
I agree w Tony. This was AE’s best game as a Husky. She dominated the boards ( 12 rebounds—next best was Nika w 6) and add to that 20 points, most in traffic under the boards and 4 assists. Aubrey and Nika also had their best games but AE was tough as nails today.Edwards
This was a tuff one. Who dont you give it too
Well, 15 assists ain't shabby... In fact it's outstanding!!! Nika!!!Azzi scores 32 and NOT player of the game?
Bah, I could only give this 1 "like". Otherwise I would still be hitting the "like" button. Having said that, a whole bunch get honorable mention. Picking who comes in second is splitting hairs, arguing how many angels dance on the head of a pin, etc.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.
When did we think that Aubrey would be among the leaders vying for the baddass award in any game? We didn't know if she had recovered from her injuries and having sat out for a year. But what a revelation, defensive intensity, speed, head among the trees; a joy to behold, a major impact on this game.Aubrey
When Nika sets a new single game record for assists would be my guess. How about 20 points in a half for Azzi and Lou? Pretty specialAzzi scores 32 and NOT player of the game?
Well said.With all due respect, and I mean that very sincerely because I am aware and respect the tradition this award has on this board, but if there ever was a game where no individual player should be singled out it was this one.
