Just curious, when will the remaining awards (player of the year, coach of the year, etc.) be announced?

 

[Hayven]

Naismith is later today. Wade trophy is tomorrow I think. Wooden is this weekend or early next week

Very, very well deserved. An extraordinary basketball player and young woman.

 

[Blue Huskie]

I'm so happy for Shea and obviously everyone at UCONN is too. Geno is past longing for this award anyway, but I will say this - If Dawn Staley had an undefeated season going she would win that award. I have no doubt.

Sadly true.

I think Sarah is now 5/5 on NPOY awards, with a few more to come. Also, what a nice little speech by Sarah! Is there nothing that girl can’t do? 🤩

 

[Bills Fan]

I would love to hear or read Saran's acceptance comments. From the bits I was to hear, it seemed like she hit a home run. but the volume was too low to hear it.

Strong POY, Ralph COY, Hidalgo DPOY.

 

[broooce]

Another award for Sarah!!

 

[ucmiami2]

Don't those look a little too ORANGE?!

 

[EricSD]

So happy and proud of her. One of the most humble superstars ever. She's just amazing. And to think - just over 2 more years for us to get to enjoy and appreciate her!!!

 

[RockyMTblue2]

The most important prize awaits.

She is and she did a nice job with her acceptance speech, which I know doesn't come easy to her.

She has improved a lot from last year!

 

[1974yankees]

Another award for Sarah!!

Well deserved! I believe Shea Ralph (future Uconn head coach?) won coach of the year too.

Hidalgo was defensive player of the year. (Totally surprised she wasn't at least a nominee for POTY)

Azzi finished second for POTY I think.

 

[Dogstar]

She has improved a lot from last year!

Practice makes perfect, im sure there'll be more speeches to come
