Kibitzer Memorial Badass Award

[FormerCTrez]

Nika's defense on Dyaisha Fair helped to limit Syracuse's offense.

Her assignment for this game was exactly that, face guard Fair so as to limit her theatrics. And she (Fair) is very good at it. Go UConn! Go Huskies!!

 

[Topdawg]

I vote for Paige. A game for the ages.

It 's all about the number 3 :
It GOT to give it to KK :
With the score only close to 3, in the 3 point land, KK makes a do it or die 3-point shot, ball bounds 3 times on the rim, went in for a 3 points , add UConn's score by 3 points, its for Syracuse to add 3 points more difficult to tie the game; ALL IN ALL, KK had put a DAGGER in Syracuse's heart.
KK is the BAD ASS!

Ash had the big steal on Fair late and KK with the dagger that broke Cuse's back. It was a compete team win. Ash made some huge plays. Our defense was great. Nika learned something tonite. KK should have confidence going forward. Aaliyah great game and she was double and triple teamed when she got the ball. She couldnt move. Paige the greatest of the greats. Paige can do everything better then anybody. We have grown alot this season. Next season should be lights out.

Paige, Aaliyah, Ash, KK, Ice and Nika.

I'm going with the starting five, they all were BA in so many different ways.

 

[maple]

So many options.

Paige for being a baller all night and grabbing the ball near the end of the game for a crucial time out. KK for hitting that game-sealing 3. Ashlynn for playing beyond her freshman year yet again and hitting some absolute daggers from the arc. Nika for guarding Fair as if her life depended on it and only allowing her 2 points in the first half.

Hard to pick just one, but I'm going to go with Ashlynn. This freshman just continues to impress.

Paige. Filled out the scoresheet. Was clutch. Defended. Yes she got help but she had the team on her back today.

 

[Bigboote]

Nika's defense on Dyaisha Fair helped to limit Syracuse's offense.

We haven't heard it yet, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear that she said "Get #10 out of my face" a la Caitlin Clark.

I couldn't pick a winner tonight, but if you hold a gun to my head, I vote for Paige. Or Nika. Or Ashlynn. . .

 

[VivaLsVgs]

KK for hitting THAT shot! I was at Gampel and the entire crowd was on pins & needles those last 2 minutes. Total momentum swing.

The biggest basket on the biggest stage! Yay KK!

 

[browns]

Ash with HM to KK for hitting that shot and HM to Nika for the fantastic job she did on Fair

Rebounding has been an issue all year..who is going to rebound next year with AE gone?

 

[Majic Hands]

I agree with everyone tonight that every player made things happen.

Tonight I thought Paige did more than just Paige things. Even took over for Nika when she fouled out.

Paige ​

All comments are accurate here. But honestly, it’s always Paige.

 

[Bone Dog]

You can’t be a badass without a dagger.
KK!

 

[Skeets]

Clearly Paige was the player of the game. But badass? Hmmm, KK, Ash? I don't know, pick one.

I do want to give a shout out to Nika. You won't find what she did in her box score. You have to look at Fair's box score to see what Nika did. Text book denying defense.
