Kibitzer Memorial Badass Award

Azzi scores 32 and NOT player of the game?

Well come on, remember last game the one critique was all her points came after the game was decided. This time she ONLY Scored 10 the entire second half. How could she possibly be deserving of BA of the game? However, in all honesty, this is a tough one, Nika with 14 assists, Aaliyah tough inside as usual, Griffin disruptor as always, and Lou went from zero to 20 in no time. However, if you want a tiebreaker, the Tennessee board is talking about how good Fudd is.

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.

Old news done that. Azzi wont get another award until she scores 40.

This was a tuff one. Who dont you give it too

If there was ever a case for TEAM, it was today.

 

[Topdawg]

The award goes to the team!

My badass award goes to Aaliyah, Azzi, Lou and Nika. Honable mention Aubrey. Azzi with another 32 point game. Aaliyah and Lou with 20 points each. Aaliyah also was a defensive beast. Aubrey was a blocking and stealing beast, and Nika with her record 15 assists. What an amazing game by them!!!!

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.

 

[Cornell Lt]

Anytime a player sets an all-time UConn record they are without a doubt the badass.........

NIKA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[vtcwbuff]

Badass ain't always about points scored. Great game from all the starters but the Badass in this game has to be the leader of the team - Muhl.

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!!!

 

[From France]

routing for LOU but the starting5 deserve the honor, so Geno & Chris (hope she gets well)

Nika. As much as I loved how Aubrey was insane in the opening minutes and played a great all around game, a new single game assist record isn't bad at all. Not with accomplished predecessors like CD, MJ, and Sue amongst several others.

Azzi scores 32 and NOT player of the game?

It's her new baseline.

 

[SqueaksFan]

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.

Aubrey was a one-woman theft machine! Her steals and rebounds were big time!

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Geno has said confidence has been what has held Aubrey back. I think today's game has to have reinforced her confidence. Very happy for the player I have doubted so long.

 

[fomalhaut]

Really great to see that so many players had great games that we can have a lively discussion like this.

 

[DEpup]

Nika all the way! 15 assists and now holds the UConn single game record! And a school that has had the likes of Rizzotti, Bird, DT, Montgomery, MoJeff, and Paige as PG....

Edwards

This was a tuff one. Who dont you give it too

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.

 

[Bigboote]

Nika for the chest bumps -- none of the State players wanted any part of that. Oh, and the overall badass game.

 

[connboy77]

All the players were great today. Aubrey was unbelievable!

 

[Charliebball]

Nothing better than having five players who all deserved the award!!!

 

[Next 12]

The starting five. Team effort. How about Nika and NEW Uconn assist record. Azzi was her normal self. Aubrey was a tornado, all over the place with 6 steals. Lou and Edwards fills out the rast of the game. ONE OF THE GREATEST TEAM EFFORT I HAVE EVER SEEN. Definitely all five are the Badasses. GO HUSKIES!!!

 

[Kat]

Edwards and Muhl. With Dorka out, Aaliyah really gave us the inside D, while Nika did the same on the outside.

 

[Beemer]

Nika.
