The Team for their Improvement as a team and looking alot more like UConn. Paige ONO, AE, and how Sweet was Caroline. Her Breakout game. We looked like a UConn team and now just eliminate some of those turnovers.

I love it when there isn't one easy choice. It could almost be Paige every game, but ONO had a really good and impactful game, and Ducharme - finally put it all together, and not against a cupcake!

No one has more toughness, moxie, skills, and impact on a game than Paige. But ONO battled HARD and played physical. Something we've been critical of her in the past. And Caroline - yeah I'm gonna say it. Sweet Caroline! :D

It takes guts to take big shots in a big game. Paige is always great but for today I think Caroline takes the KBA.
 
I'm going with co-KBA's Paige, ONO, and Caroline Ducharme. They were all BadAsses in their own way and UConn may not have won without these three playing like they did.

My badass award goes to Caroline, Olivia and Paige (I put in alphabetical order). Caroline took it outside as well as inside amongst the trees. Olivia had a badass game....no pun intended (:. She had a double - double with 14 points and 13 rebounds. Olivia gave Dobson a run for the money. Paige was Paige!! She did it from every spot of the floor. I pray Paige will be alright!! Good thing, she was able to walk to the locker room.
 
Caroline because we have been waiting. She was called upon and answered the bell. Paige was Paige, ONO had one of her better games, but Caroline showed us the future and, hopefully, a lot of the present, especially if—what we dare not mention—is diagnosed.

Liv was the definition of BA today. 14 points, 13 rebounds, 2 blocks & a steal, as UConn has a double-digit rebounding edge for the second straight game.

You beat me to the punch OD. Liv had the kind of day I’ve been looking for her to have since the beginning of the season. 14/13. She played her tail off, and was very instrumental in helping her team win.

We needed every point and every rebound. She made life very difficult for the Irish in the paint all day. Things that don't show up in the box score. A tip o’ the turban to Olivia today for a job well done!! ;)

Hopefully she can build on those numbers and her success today on Thursday against Georgia Tech. I’d love to see her have another 14/13 game against the Yellow Jackets in her homecoming game. Family, friends and former HS teammates will be there.

For me the Badass should go to Caroline. The lead was only 7 at the end of the 3rd quarter. Caroline comes in and ends up with 14 points on 5 out of 9 shooting with 3 of 5 from 3 and UConn wins by 19. That would be a fine performance for anyone but coming in a big game from a freshman who had only scored 4 points and at times looked liked she didn’t belong on the court made it worthy of the Kibitzer Badass Award.

Yeah! The home crowd diffenitly kept the team energized, and they fed off of it. Isn't it nice when we win a game against a rival by double digits? :D
 
Paige was, and the overwhelming bulk of the time, will be, the MVP. Caroline finally found her game in the fourth quarter. Kudos to them both. But Liv had a double-double and did fine work in the trenches, which is what the Badass award was originally intended to reward.
 
I think this every game honor should be entitled: "Other Than Paige BAA."
 
Paige is Paige and could be considered for this every game is noted. I saw Ono step up against some good bigs and get it done. She got it for me today. Caroline having a breakout game and doing so with confidence was like a early Christmas bonus! Honorable mention along with the team.
While I give it to Liv today I have to say the Badass play of the game was Paige with the steal, stop and pop was a thing of beauty.
Now to hope she is back in the mix soon!
