Kibitzer memorial badass award

[MSGRET]

Pretty sure it was Azzi.

Whoever it was needs to do that to the whole team before the game.

 

[Gordo]

That's Fudd.

Yes, I stand corrected and this image proves it (bracelets, watch, etc.) It was a very fitting gesture and gave me the feeling something special was going to happen ... and it did.

Paige looks so down in this photo, I hope she is just tired.

It's a team of badass players. They are fearless. Any of them is ready and able to make the big stop or take the big shot. They never give up.

My badass award goes to Caroline and Lou. Both were clutch, and very much needed.

 

[Zorro]

Sweet Caroline!!!

Aaaarrrrggghhhhhhhhh!!!

Well said, MSGRET. It's occurred to me increasingly over the course of the season that this year has been an emotional struggle for Paige.

Last year she had hopes of returning and was a fiery cheerleader on the sideline... this year, not so much. That's totally understandable, but it saddens me to watch such a wonderful young women have what she loves so much played out right in front of her, night after night, and she can't participate. This is her team, and yet now, it's not.

No, I believe it was Jana El Alfy.

This might be my favorite photo this season. It surely is a team bonded with love amongst the players.

Good on Azzi for providing this lift for a teammate in spite of her own challenges.

Geno recruits really nice young women for the UConn women's basketball team.

In spite of the daunting challenges she faces in her own career, Azzi found the moment right just before Wednesday's game vs. Creighton to think of the big moment it was for Caroline Ducharme, about to return from almost seven weeks off because of head and neck injuries.

Thanks, Gordo, for passing that one along. I love it. I'll bet Caroline won't soon forget it either.

I don't know if we'll see Azzi back on the court this season, but I'll be rooting even harder for her recovery and healthy return for more reasons than her shooting ability.

Tough game tomorrow vs. Villanova. Go, Huskies.

 

[Gordo]

Wrong! No one is ignoring Lou's tremendous contributions along the way and in this game. But, if you have been paying attention to Caroline's struggles with various injuries this entire season, you would understand why we are so excited to have her back ... and in such a large fashion. Her 4th quarter contributions (and final two free throws iced this game and the win).

Paige looks so down in this photo, I hope she is just tired.

Seeing Azzi supporting her friend Paige, and having the presence of mind to give a good luck kiss on the forehead to Caroline before the game, makes me think what a great friend and teammate she must be. Anxiously awaiting the day they can all show this love and support for each other out on the court.

 

[MSGRET]

If I remember correctly 5 times.

 

[HuskyNan]

We UConn fans see what Lou does and appreciate her tremendously. Pay no attention to the guy that just joined 2 months ago. He hasn’t been paying attention.

I hate the thumbs down icon. It’s supposed to mean disagree, not dislike but many people don’t understand it so it’s confusing

Caroline has suffered several injuries and people are just so happy to see her on the court again. Wait until she has a bad game and see what people say
