Kibitzer Memorial Badass Award

[jaundicedeye]

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.

 

[Shorty Dee]

My badass award goes to Sarah. The only person who can stop her at this point...is Sarah. She continues to be untouchable.

 

[MSGRET]

Sarah, Not counting the 23 points which was second only to Azzi, led in rebounds 7, steals 6, had 4 assists, 1 T/O and 1 foul.

 

[reelfan]

NICE to have so many players to choose from.

Tale of 2 half bad asses - Sarah 1st half and Azzi 2nd half

 

[Fore!]

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.

Bob Joyce, voice of the Husky’s on radio, said it was a clear push off by Blanca.

 

[pghhuskydoc]

Just was able to finish watching the game. Azzi had a phenomenal game, but Sarah was the Baddest of Asses. She was everywhere. Completely unstoppable.

It is! She was way before my time but she, herself, is timeless

It is! She was way before my time but she, herself, is timeless

Wondering--given that the timeless Betty Boop was pretty badass herself--if we can rename the Kibitzer Memorial Badass award to the Kibitzer Memorial Betty Boop Badass Award.

Then it would be the boop-boop-be-dooass award.

 

[darkstar1]

Sarah today. Scored her points when it mattered most.

 

[AzzisBraids]

Sarah - she was a revelation in that first half

 

[Doctor G]

Sarah scoring 20 points in a 13-minute window to let Iowa know they couldn’t stop her was bad ass. See also the crazy cool block and full-court drive for a layup.

 

[browns]

Don't usually vote for Sara cuz she is the best player in the country but with Azzi way off shooting in the first half Sara put the team on her back to give an 11 pt. lead at the break

 

[Topdawg]

I go with Sarah for this game.

 

[HuskyNan]

Wondering--given that the timeless Betty Boop was pretty badass herself--if we can rename the Kibitzer Memorial Badass award to the Kibitzer Memorial Betty Boop Badass Award.

Never. We will continue to honor our fallen hero. Cartoon badasses are one thing, WWII paratroopers are another

 

[jabstep]

KK, because she is so selfless with her game and she now is becoming another 3ball threat, which continues to help keep the middle open for our offense to work as well as it does..

 

[LwrcasefaN]

Azzi. I don’t know too many players that have the will to shoot themselves out of in game slumps. She’s at the top of scouting charts, but is so good at reading defenses and repositioning in the offense that she gets great looks. “Peakaboo" Fudd!

The team knows that sooner or later, Azzi is going to rifle in 3 three's in a row, so they keep passing to her. They know she is money!!!

 

[tchalla1]

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

Isn't Sarah as far as the Bad Ass award kind of like Jordan used to be--when people would say he could win MVP every year?

Yep, it raises the bar for her, but doesn't disqualify her in my opinion
