Jump starting this for our esteemed colleague. Nominations?

Co winners CW and Aaliyah

Is it player of the game, because player of the game and bad ass have been defined to be two different things.

 

[FridaFriend]

Players: Christyn and Aaliyah

Badass: Nika

I agree with Nika getting the badass.

Couldn’t say it better myself. Wholeheartedly agree!!

I agree with Nika getting the badass.

She just plays angry, like an old man returning soup in a deli.

The definition of a badass should be provided as it is obvious many take it to mean something different.
For myself Paige was badass with the pass to CW that few could make or attempt. That and going out after turning her ankle to get back in asap and with in seconds drain a three.

Can we have a team BA ball? CW, Ono, AE, Nika all played well and had their moments along with Evina as a facilitator again.
Should we have a felon award for rebounds and steals Nika would have got that today. Then again Evina would have been in contention for that one also.

To paraphrase the late Justice Stewart, I can't define it, but I know it when I see. (FWIW, the ambiguity of the term is part of the charm of the Bad Ass threads.)

Should we have a felon award for rebounds and steals

Sure, it's your idea...run with it. Define it however you see fit and post a name, or you could do a post game poll with a few choices. Whatever feels right to you.

My badass award goes to Christyn and Aaliyah. Honable mention goes to Paige.

 

[jazz]

I'm going to go with one only: AE. She was a complete and total bad ass in this game!

Honorable mention to NM. She goes after rebounds the way a hound goes after a fox! She may be the toughest player we have..mentally and physically.

The seas were angry that day.

 

[Glenn]

I would have AE for playing above her averages, and Paige for playing while hurt.

IMO, too many people place too much emphasis on high scorers. They do so when selecting something like POG, All-American, and NPOY.

CW did have a nice game and scored the most points but I don't think she played overall as well as she did against SJU. AE is improving every game and was the "badass" of the Xavier game.

For me it’s a tie:
AE and CW
