Kibitzer Memorial Badass Award

[Tonyc]

Sarah

 

[Kaizen]

Azzi

 

[EricSD]

I totally agree with Tony. Azzi was my POG but Sarah was my badass. Why? Because it was closer in the 1st half, Q2 was ragged, and it was Sarah's point production in that half that gave us the double digit lead we had.

 

[HuskyNan]

Blanca. The woman is a menace. She’s like a defibrillator when the team starts to bog down.

 

[Next 12]

Azzi! Her 3 point shooting percentage is out standing, AZZI all the way!

 

[CL82]

Sarah. She basically beat the entire Iowa team by herself in the first half.

 

[oldude]

SARAH was a monster, a BADASS monster!!!

 

[Ozimoto]

My vote is for Serah Williams. She played a solid game in my opinion and was not overmatched by the Iowa bigs.

 

[Molisanos]

Sarah Strong. But someone can explain me what referees called at Blanca when she was driving to the basket in fastbreak?

 

[DEFCONN1]

Sarah. Undeniably carried the team today.

 

[The deacon]

No, Azzi has 27 pts, 3 asts and 4 stls and zero PF ~~~ not good enough?

Azzi had 14 points in the last seven minutes after the game was decided. Sarah absolutely carried the Huskies during the first half when the game was competitive. She also had 7 rebounds and 6 steals.

Your call, Kaizen, obviously. Cheers!

 

[HuskyNan]

Please remember the game badass and the player of the game are two very different descriptions

Thanks for the reminder, Nan!

Liking the festive garb!

 

[PJCLaw]

SS, who was the offense in the first half and allowed Azzi to maintain her confidence by continuing to shoot until she got hot in the second half.

 

[jaundicedeye]

As always, Sarah was dominant and, in this game, she was Badass, as well!

 

[bigfive]

Sarah Azzi Blanca all deserving, but I go with the little engine that could, the point guard with 6 assists 0 turnovers 0 fouls 2-2 threes, Kamorea, aka KK

 

[Bigboote]

I’m going with Sarah. Along with the rest of her game, the one play with the block, rebound, bring the ball up the floor, and sink the layup was just incredible.

 

[schmendrick]

Sarah, for snuffing out any hope held by Iowa of getting close in the first half, and pretty much dwarfing everyone on the court.

They didn’t show a replay so she must have used a hand or arm to push off. The defender wasn’t in a position to draw a charge.
IMO, SS is definitely badass…that was one of the best half’s of BB I’ve seen in some time. Wonder if she was gassed in the second half.

 

[WBBZen]

Sarah. She really put the team on her back in that first half. Completely unguardable

Pushed off with her right arm. Perfect view from my seat.

That is the 5th nominee for today’s Badass Award. We have had multiple nominees on multiple occasions so far this season. I guess you could say that makes for a pretty badass team.

 

[Bone Dog]

Blanca, no question. 10 pts on 80% shooting, 1-2 from 3, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals (one of them a pirouette around the opponent). It don't get much more badass that that.

Usually not but in this game it was Sarah, no question. She made her case early and often!

 

[dtbtbtb]

So many candidates for this game (Blanca, Azzi, KK and Serah come to mind) but the BA for me was Sarah Strong! in the first half she did absolutely everything for the team aside than serving coffee she was everywhere and poor Iowa had no answers for her.

 

[AmeriConn]

Blanca the “spark plug.”

 

[Skeets]

Sarah! Without her carrying the team in the first half the game would have had a completely different complexion. Maybe even dire.

Nan, that Betty Boop? You have to be of a certain age to remember Betty Boop.

 

[Gael]

Sarah, who unrelentingly performed bad*ssery in all aspects of the game, for the entire team, in the first half when bad*ssery was sorely needed. Azzi, though special, was more of sporadic spreader of icing on the baked second half cake.
