Paige

 

[DEFCONN1]

Ash played great but Paige was the better Bad ass !

 

[darkstar1]

Paige of course.

 

[Topdawg]

Paige, for a great all around performance.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Paige got whacked in the knee then made bucket after bucket.

 

[maple]

Paige!!!!

 

[Shorty Dee]

My badass award goes to Paige. Another game she had to get iced down, and came back on fire!! Honable mention goes to Ash. She is a quiet assassin .

 

[Barkin Out]

Paige was great- but I’m going with Shade, who went 6-7 after her coach needled her about be a high volume shooter. Is it great coaching, great kids, or both?

 

[Blue Huskie]

There's nothing more badass than getting hurt just to return and light it up! PAIGE

 

[Bigboote]

Paige for coming back from what looked like a nasty knee collision.

 

[slug25]

Tough to overlook Nika again. Beyond Nika’s scoring, it was she who made Karlen disappear in the second half.

Paige! The kid gets injured by taking a charge, hobbles to the bench and them limping tries to get back to the game... when she does get back to the game, she does everything UConn needs including a (almost) half court swish.. And her block on the layup attempt coming from way back was amazing. A true Badass!

 

[Ozimoto]

Paige it is, but she wasn't the only one out there tonight.

 

[msf22b]

All three good choices.

 

[Majic Hands]

ASH, was the BasAss tonight for me.

 

[WLT1717]

Paige.

You have to be a badass to try and check yourself into a game! Got a good laugh out of Geno's reaction.

The BY may need to seriously consider making this award the Badass Runnerup Award, because so long as Paige is playing, it’s really not a fair competition.

 

[Millenial23]

I'd go with Nika this game!!

 

[Brewski]

My vote is for shade, but only for one play. She got one of her patented pull-up jumpers blocked and stolen for the first time this season,. She was so pissed off she immediately flashed back to mid-court and stole the ball back! That's a badass play. Paige gets the award for the rest of the game.

right on!

i get the feeling that people just don't get how extraordinary paige is. it truly isn't fair to expect others to measure up. not gonna happen..

someone said she was playing at a POY level. duuuhhh. YEAH. maybe that's because she is a NPOY. as a freshman ... and could have won the award, i dare say would have, two more times if not for her freakish bad luck.

this kid is in the maya/DT stratosphere, not simply on the AA level.
she's clearly among the best to ever play the game. let's acknowledge that.
even if she doesn't bring another NC trophy to storrs.

 

[Next 12]

It's a given that Paige can score 20-25-30 points every game and plays the game flawlessly, so that's expected. I( give it to Ashlynn, as she scored 15 points and had 6 rebounds ( unexpected ) and 3 steals (Unexpected) and as Brewski posted of her blocked shot and steal back was the Badass o the game.GO ASHLYNN!!! GO FRESHMEN!!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!!

 

[Ace565]

Paige and Ash are my vote. Paige doing great things but Ash in on another level right now. For a freshman to shoot 86% from 2 pt range and 100% from 3 pt range was incredible.She reminds me of a younger Paige. If she can get more open she will contribute even more

 

[AmeriConn]

Buckets!

Good way to do it... : )

Who's AA?

 

[MilfordHusky]

Now that I think of it, last night's game was a rerun of the "Bird at the Buzzer" game, with Paige starring in the roles of Sue Bird, by hitting a bomb just before the halftime buzzer, and Shea Ralph, by sustaining an injury. However, no heroics in the second half were needed. If they had been, we all know the plot.

Somewhat reminiscent of D’s moonshot against Tennessee as the halftime buzzer went off, circa 2003.

Paige is at a different level then any other player in WCBB. Diana was that way too. Paige I believe can will this team to victory. I am looking forward to the ND game Saturday. I really believe barring foul trouble or injuries UConn will shine bright. The next game Im looking forward to is @SC. This game will alert all those WCBB fans and media just how good this team and just how great of a coach Geno is. You can name all the top players in WCBB and talk about what they do but there is only one Paige and there is no player better.
