The Kibitzer Memorial Badass Award

It wasn't a one man show, it was excellent UCONN basketball and Geno realizing he had a hot hand, drawing up plays for her and her teammates committed to getting her the ball.

People just don't see the fact that Fudd's movement throughout the game was almost non stop. UConn's problem early was, again, they were setting such poor high screens AND such poor down screens. When they did finally set good screens the forwards didn't cut hard on their rolls. The defenders could then just stick to Azzi defensively. Smartly, Azzi decided to go to her midrange and layup game early. Once MU got a little fatigued late, they couldn't cover Azzi's movement nor get to or around UConn's screens quick enough. Funnily enough, MU was just killing UConn offensively on screens early, running Azzi all over trying to tire her out. Anyone that complains about either this teams heart or Azzi endurance has no eyes or heart themselves.

Well, most likely Azzi and Dorka will get most votes, and I can't really disagree. Yet, watching Nika crash the boards keeping forwards and her mark busy boxing her out, making plays, playing defense, cheering her team on, she gets my vote. Amazingly, this team has taken on Nika's character over the last 5 games or so. Gritty, tough, hard nosed, never give up. A real spit in your eye type of team. A far different identity than they were before Jan 1st.

Facts! UCONN has only lost (1) 4th quarter this calendar year- by 1 point against Butler =insignificant.

Uhh, if I’m not mistaken Azzi’s stat line should be 24 pts not 21. They erroneously credited Muhl with one of her 3’s.

That is the way that I saw it also...... so.... "upon" further review....???
 
Many good choices. I 'm going with DORKA because
she kept us in the game in the first half! It is not
fun to have to come from behind! Dorka hitting from
outside also opened up the inside drives.
Kudos to Evina and , of course, Azzi.
Nika had a strong game with assists and rebounds... let's
give credit there also!

The whole team was bad ass no quit. I expected a grind it out game and boy was it. Back and forth and pyhsical all game. The Azzi Fudd became who she is Paige's competitor for best player. Dorka became what we hoped for Big girls hitting 3 balls. CW and NIka rebounding and playing D. Wowzer!!!!!!
 
Easy to go with Fudd but with Edwards doing another no-show you have to give the edge to Dorka.
 
The whole team played great D in the 4th and Azzi shot great but Dorka kept us in the game the first half and continued in the 2nd half with her D on Marrotta(who killed us last year up there) and all around great play..Gotta go with Dorka and a close 2nd to Azzi
 
.-.
I have to go with Dorka and Azzi as CO-KMBA's, and Honorable Mention to the rest of the team. Plus shout out to the cheering section on the bench they were loud and energetic.

At the end of the 3 rd qtr It was Dorka hands down. Then Azzi and E made it close at the end but Dorka hangs on
Expand ...
I almost agree with you. After 3 quarters I would have said clearly Dorka. But in the 4th quarter, Azzi channeled her inner Paige (dare I say inner DT?) and helped the whole team blow the doors off. After the full game it's much closer to a 50/50 pick'em, but I'll go with Azzi. Kudos to Nika, E, and everyone else.

Aaliyah was not a no show. She had 7 rebounds, 3 offensive, 3 assists and 2 blocks. The scoring wasn’t there but everything else was fine

That's true and the almost steals shook M's confidence in the 2nd half...
But in the 4th quarter, with the game on the line, there was no playing her...
with the return of "hands of stone," "itchy feet", and "bunny busting."

It's like one game great...the next one, "eh."
This was the scheduled "off-night."
 
Forka… as in stick a forka in the Gophers, they’re done.

Fudd and Dorka were great today. They are starting to develop a killer instinct!

All a matter of opinion, which I respect, but when push came to shove she was sitting the pine.

You can't keep missing layups and defensive assignments.. that's why she was on the bench in the 4th quarter

I thk Geno used a quicker pressure defense to speed the Golden Eagles up, seems like they ran outta steam in the fourth . Jmo

I was going to post something tongue-in-cheek that Nika was the badass because she kept her enthusiasm despite teammates having missed about four bunnies when she'd passed the ball to them within two feet of the basket.
 
My badass award goes to Azzi and Dorka. Dorka was on fire on defense and offense. Azzi the 3 point specialist was also slashing to the basket. She is proving more and more why she was the number #1 player in the country. Suddenly Hall and Oates popped in my head "Man eater" (:.

If that’s true that someone slow-footed as Dorka would be sitting. Thing is she came to play and Edwards, despite those ‘robust stats’ quoted, made too many mistakes earlier to be on the floor in Q4. But your point is well taken that Marquette doesn’t have the bench nor the stamina to play 4 quarters of pressure bball.

And with her being the only post, rebounder, and clog in the middle , im curious to know who you would send out to get posted up for easy baskets? Would've been a great game to have Audrey. Defense wins games, offense determines the margin of victory.
