Kibitzer Memorial Badass Award

[Tonyc]

Paige She controlled the game

Gonna give it to Kaitlyn. She’s becoming a bad ass of a point guard.

 

[Kaizen]

Kaitlyn honorable mentioned KK ...

 

[Topdawg]

Giving it to Paige. She could have had a triple double. Good to see her be aggressive.

 

[oldude]

When she played at Princeton, Kaitlyn was most definitely a BAD ASS!!! Tonight she brought that BAD ASS to UConn!!!

KAITLYN

 

[Bone Dog]

Kaitlyn. No doubt in my mind. She took whatever Villanova gave her, and that was 17 pts on 7-8 shooting. This is the Kaitlyn we’ve been waiting for.

Kaitlyn was bad ass with the breakout game. Paige and Sarah were their usual consistent selves, so that's not necessarily bad ass to me based on the opponent.

It's tough. Player of the game, Paige. Badass - could have gone to either. I know Paige almost got a triple-double, but I'm leaning towards Cait - Alan or Meg said that Geno challenged Cait to be more aggressive (he said the same to KK several games back and look at her changes).

So that's why I lean more towards Cait. Geno challenged her, and she was a badass attacking and "accepting" his challenge. Also the announcers mentioned that Cait is the most vocal player on the team.

How about the Huskie PG DUO! 11/13 from the field, 2/3 from three-point range,
4/5 from the charity stripe, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 fouls (uphs!),
one block, and two steals. And did I mention? 28 points in 41 minutes.
Sounds like a complete PG to me.... a BAD ASS DUET!

Sarah…thought she had a couple of momentum breaking plays.

 

[dtbtbtb]

While Paige and Sarah deserve a piece of the BA award, I'm going with Kaitlyn! she was great on defense and was fearless out there.

 

[Bigboote]

I’m voting for Kaitlyn because something clicked tonight. For the first time she seems to have internalized the UConn version of the game.

 

[MSGRET]

I'm going with Paige, 21 pts, 8 rbds, 9 ast, 3 stls with only 1 t/o and 0 fouls. Kaitlyn is the runner-up.

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

I agree with Paige, Sarah & Kaitlyn but
I also lean toward the whole team's play was a lot of energy, and everyone got in played their butts off which is great for 40 minutes!
Knowing vs TN, SoCar, Creighton, and Tournament teams coming up it's nice to know everyone can bring the fire where there's no let-down that there was in the past!
Simplifying the offense has given a real boost to everyone!

The pieces are slowly coming together. I give this one to Chen who showed us grit. Every time you want to look at Geno, he shows his greatness. Now that he has his point guards going, I bet he will now work hard to get Aubrey to become Aubrey again.

I would like to see Aubrey coming along a little faster. I understand they want to make sure she’s OK but it would be nice to see her get 15 minutes or so. She did show me one brief Aubrey moment tonight! She drove to the basket and her first step was just blindingly fast! It looked like the Aubrey of old for just those few seconds. Unfortunately, she missed the tough layup but it reminded me of how much she can bring to this team when she does get fully healthy and back into her groove! I believe she could be the final brick in this wall that Geno & Co is building! I can’t wait!

Kaitlyn! This is what I've been waiting for.
