Normally, I would give it to Blanca because she changed the game and jumpstarted the first half avalanche, but Ayanna ending the half with a tough 3 point play (love the cheers and her smile after that play) and the effort o-board that led to Blanca’s buzzer beater was a truly badass way to play in front of your home crowd.

Uconn showed a little rust at the start of the game, didn't play badly just were a second slow on defense and on offense. Blanca and K9 came in and immediately things clicked - the offense took off helped but a blanketing defense that shut down Butler for the rest of the half. Butler first missed at 6:18 and they led 10-6 (first time Uconn has been trailing by 4 in the season?) off of three easy lay-ups and an open three. Butler didn't score again in the first quarter, and to start the second quarter until two FT at 7:11 by which time they trailed 10-33. They didn't score again until they made their first field goal at 3:13 of Q2 - 13:43 minutes of game time after their last basket at 6:56 of Q1 at which point the lead had ballooned to 33 pts. Everyone who played helped with that, but the spark came with K9 and Blanca.

So ... my BA goes to Blanca with a second to our PG combo of KK and K9 who both played very well.

I agree, little by little she is starting to play like we thought she would when she committed to UCONN.
