The Kibitzer Badass Award

Lou. Only Lou. It shouldn't be diluted by naming any runner-ups no matter how well they played (and some did). LOU!!!

Lou is the unanimous winner!!! BUT.........................she'd be the first to tell you she didn't do it alone. I must agree with Bigboote. Christyn showed up BIGTIME today and kept the juices and energy flowing for us. IMHO, giving Christyn her props (a tip of the cap and an honorable mention) is NOT in anyway diluting the award, or taking anything away from Lou's remarkable accomplishments today. Like former president George Bush once said: "Read my lips": "Lou wins the Badass award for today's game............period!!! The vote was unanimous. We're just spreading a little love and well deserved recognition around to some others. This was a TEAM victory. ;) We don't win this game without the play of Megan and Chiristyn. Walz (in is post game presser) said that Megan's play was the difference in the game. Let's not forget about the play of Crystal Dangerfield who covered Durr (21 pts) most of the day and kept her from going off and controlling the game like she did last time.

Kib must be at the game so I’ll start the thread. However, I will let you guys choose the Badass(es).

Lou without question.

I am sure over the years her back issues will grow to rival Schillings “bloody sock”.

Respects to all the other great contributions but there are days ahead for those players — but for now a career defining performance earns her this space all by herself.

Absolute no brainer. Katie Lou. Each 3 was a thing of beauty. Amazing how the shooting touch can come and go.
 
Lou for sure.

I thought something was wrong with Pheesa, and Crystal looked a little wobbly at times as well. I wonder if a minor bug was afoot. (My son goes to UConn and is battling a bad cold.) They both contributed but Pheesa was 3 for 11 in the first half. Crystal didn't seem to have her usual access to overdrive. I actually saw Pheesa standing still a few times. But they battled.

Megan and Christyn were stellar.

Louisville is a fine team, worthy opponents.

As a retired military man, can you grant Lou the Distinguished Service Cross or the Silver Star or somesuch?

No DSC or Silver Star --PLEASE. The courage and putting of ones life on the line for others tends to say NO NO NO.
Courageous Katie Lou, certainly has been the whole year. But she earn not one single military award. Her production and effort these last many games earns her a special place in Uconn Fan's MEMORIES. I am proud of her.

katie Lou is most certainly the B.A. of this game.
Walker, Collier, Danger, and Chrystn and ONO most certainly pulled off an exceptional WIN. ALL--deserve the honorable mention/ runner up to the BA award. This was not a one women or 2 woman show. which 12, 9, 14 points didn't mean victory?? Which of the 10 rebounds of Collier wouldn't have meant a loss had she not gotten it?? TEAM--plus KLS.

Taking things too literally drains the joy out of life. I meant no disrespect.
 
Not one to weigh in on this award often as in the past I have stated regardless of who the high scorer is UCONN women are the epitome of TEAM sports.
Having said that...;)
Jeff Walz had Walker as the BA killing it in the first half...
Should Jeff be the BA for his decision to double Phee, thus leaving others open...?
Was Crystal covering Durr relentless and staying out of foul trouble not a BA...?
Geno credited the staff for their hardest work in years to get this team this far, the BA...?
IMHO one of Geno's finest coaching years, the BA...?
Phee had 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks and a steal along with 12 points, only 2PF, the BA...?
OK I'll stop the list as usual with UCONN..........
THE BA WAS THE TEAM AND THE STAFF !!!

I agree wholeheartedly with Woof101. It should be a team Bad Ass Award!
Not to minimize the importance of Lou's scoring but all of her shots, except two, were from behind the arc.
When I think of "bad ass" I think of attitude and mixing it up. UCONN out-rebounded Louisville and that was largely accomplished by Phee and Megan. I am as grateful as anyone for having the return of a healthier and scoring Lou but she did not compile the rebounds, blocks, steals and assists to fully supplement her scoring. Phee did. High scorer yes, the Bad Ass, no.

Just "pulling your leg". Couldn't help myself. I'm still celebrating yesterday's win and your handle is too easy not to put a poke in there.
Your comments well received.

That part of the game or other sport has confused coaches, managers, owners for over 100 years. This one, with KLS, seems to say BACK problems and one tough young woman who has been, along with Collier, been on a mission since last april. She will stress body, mind, and soul to win the elusive NC trophy. Where does Geno get these women? Paraphrasing the Admiral in : The Bridges of Toko Ri. I saw those men--it's all about Character for the Navy and Geno's recruits and players.

With YOU I am certain you didn't mean any disrespect. You are an honorable person.
My disconnect is : Too many military people were awarded (it wasn't won, it isn't a contest) these medals for bravery, dying to save others, or wounded beyond belief to be awarded those medals. To award them to KLS would understate the above. I know you and you would not do that. I take any award given our military as important, many are wounded or died and a few are awarded these medals --let us keep them in high esteem
If I defend these medals seriously I am standing up for those that paid the price to have them awarded. For me that shall always be. That can't ever be taken too literally.
 
Lou was incredible. I thought Meg's game was great. However, to me the BA award has to go to Crystal. She hounded Durr all over the court for 40 minutes. Fought through a zillion screens. Held her to 7-19 shooting, and she didn't reach double digits until late in the second half. She still had enough left to run the offense and score 10 points. Just a side note: If ND wins tonight there will be a LOT of green in Tampa!

UConn blue will trump green.
