Kibitzer Memorial Badass Award

[Jackalope]

Aaliyah. And her teammates agree. When they were presenting the trophy some were clustered around her and pointing saying "MVP, MVP!"

Maybe Aaliyah never takes off her mask.

Who won?

Edwards

Aaliyah was indeed a beast but I’m most excited by the performance of Caroline! If she can start playing up to what we saw for a brief stretch last season, it will change our whole team dynamic! Imagine being some poor coach trying to survive Fudd, Edwards, Senechal, Griffin, and then Caroline subs in! However, back to AE, she is showing a consistency we’ve never seen before. What a player she has become!

THE MASKED CANUCK!!

Maybe Aaliyah never takes off her mask.

Neither did the Lone Ranger.

 

[eebmg]

So out of curiosity, who holds the UConn single game rebounding record? I am guessing Tina Charles?

 

[WiseOne]

I would keep it on all season if I were here. She almost seems invincible!!!

 

[uconnfan68]

and defended Czinano better than I have seen.

And got almost no calls. Really mysterious officiating.

Nope

 

[CL82]

So, as always there’s a lot to choose from. Nika, being Nika, just uses badassery. There may be no one on the court who is any tougher than she is. Caroline shakes off the rust and comes up big when we needed her most. Scoring, when we needed it. Defense, when we needed it. And what about Azzi Fudd? Put up the goose egg in the first quarter and only two with the half, but brushes the doubters off her shoulders and lights it up in the third quarter. But in the end, it has to go to “the masked Canuck“ sure she played her typical game tough under the basket, stretching out to mid range shots and rebounding, but she also stepped up to guard last year‘s player of the year when the game was on the line, and shut her down. Oh yeah, that’s badass .

 

[drweo]

Gotta go with Aaliya!

 

[Shorty Dee]

My badass award goes to Aaliyah. Aaliyah was a beast, and she gave Monika a run for her money!! Aaliyah had another double-double with 20 points and 13 rebounds!!

 

[Los24]

Honorable mentioned Caroline from the bench. She has 15 pts and mostly in second half.

Plus 5 boards, 3 assists, 3 stls and 2 blocks.

THE MASKED CANUCK!!

That used to be Jacques Plante, the first NHL goalie to wear a mask.

 

[Bone Dog]

No questions: Aaliyah!!!

 

[mbr33ct]

Here's a twist, UConn does not win if it wasn't for Aaliyah's stellar play in the first half with 14 points.

Great goalie, but not much of a midrange jumper....

 

[The deacon]

And superb D on Czinano, likely the best the very talented Iowa post has encountered.

 

[Topdawg]

Edwards for sure. She was steady through the whole game.

Never saw him play basketball, Oldude. I'll bow to you on that one.

 

[Topsail]

a Edwards the beast , I hate to think where we would be without her playing great this year.

Or Aubrey’s

When Czinano gets the ball in the low blocks it's either a basket, a trip to the foul line or both. Aaliyah really battled all game to keep Czinano from catching the ball in the low blocks. Worth mentioning that in her limited PT, Ayanna also battled Czinano effectively in the low blocks.

 

[heavyhusky]

Aaliyah has had 4 double doubles in 5 games, just two rebounds shy in the Texas game. What a warrior!

 

[DrummerDee]

Edwards, hands down. Caroline next...she was a difference maker. Love me some Fudd, but she made my hands sweat way too much today!

 

[Woof 101]

Have to agree with Aaliyah, her demeanor stayed the same the entire game even when an obvious charge had her being called for a foul.
I could be wrong but Iowa took their biggest lead when she was on the bench with an ice pack on her cheek. Tough and steady as a mule.
That reminds be of another tough player.

Aaliyah Edwards and it's not close. First time a majority winner.

It’s UNANIMOUS!
