Kibitzer Memorial Badass Award

I'm in agreement with those who think K9 was the badass of the game. However, I want to add to the Azzi love by pointing out that one of the ways UConn solved Tennessee's press in the second half was by having Azzi bring the ball up. The girl has handles. Who knew?

A comment on Azzi’s handle. During the U19 FIBA World Championships a few years back, with no obvious PG on the team, HC Cory Close used Azzi as the team’s PG. Azzi lead the US team in assists, handling the PG role beautifully, as the US won the championship. Azzi is much more than a great shooter.

It’s amazing to me that so many people still doubt Azzi or think that there is a better guard in the nation. She played today like what she is: a senior All-American ( that steal at midcourt and subsequent bucket was an even more bad ass version of her her two strips and scores in the national championship game).

Mikayla Blakes of Vanderbilt will be 1st team AA and Azzi will be 2nd team

There are at least 5 players on every 1st team AA list and 10 players on the WBCA 1st team. Azzi will be on one or more. Guaranteed!!!

Blakes is a sophomore, Azzi a senior. Vandy will end season with 5 losses, UConn will be undefeated. Scoring is only one of the metrics used to determine AA status. IMO Azzi is a lock for 1st team, Mikayla could be 1st or 2nd.
Expand ...
Also relevant to the Blakes vs Azzi comparison is that Blakes plays on average 5+ mpg more than Azzi, and so far this season, Blakes has taken 141 more shots than Azzi, while Azzi’s shooting percentage is better than Blakes at every level: from the floor, 3-pt & FT.

On the 2018 U17 team coached by Carla Berube, Paige and Azzi both started. I watched all seven games and specifically noted that, most of the time, Carla had Azzi bringing the ball up court with Paige playing off. Once the players got into half court motion, however, Paige and Jordan Horston became the primary assisters.

On the 2017 U16 team also coached by Berube, neither Paige nor Azzi started, but Azzi was third on the team in assists and led the team in steals.
