I’m torn. Blanca was phenomenal, but a tip of the cap to Jana El-Alfy! She rebounded her butt off and was a real defensive presence in the second half.
Blanca was great no doubt about it, but I think my call for today's badass is Jana. We needed a physical presence and she came off the bench and played with confidence. They say you have to be ready when Coach calls your number. She was.
How could I possibly select anyone other than Sarah or Blanca as the BADASS? Well, here's exactly how. At a time in the 2nd half when UConn went cold and was struggling to keep the lead, Geno put Jana in the game and she came up HUGE on the boards while hitting 2 big baskets. Jana gets my BADASS vote for today's game.
Blanca but you just have to love my pick for "BA play to end an Elite Eight game": Yanna makes an ill advised pass that results in a turnover to Hildago. Hildago dribbles into the front court in a fashion like she is going to let the clock run out the last 5 seconds...but no...she drives to the basket for an easy layup...but no...Yanna blocks it and Joe Vaszily forgot that he was supposed to call the imaginary foul!!!!!!!!
The team potentially sacrifices five explosive points, two steals, one assist, one rebound (and, yeah, one dopey foul or TO) for every minute someone other than Sarah or Azzi is on the floor instead of . . .
