Yup

 

[Calbysdad]

But Nika...I just love Nika

 

[veryolddog]

Honorable mention: Evina!

 

[oldude]

Azzi was great, but I got to give the BA to Evina. I've never seen a stat sheet like Evina's tonight: 0-0 shooting, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals.

Azzi was great, but I got to give the BA to Evina. I've never seen a stat sheet like Evina's tonight: 0-0 shooting, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals.

There are many different ways to be a great basketball player without scoring points. Evina proved it tonight.

 

[Shorty Dee]

My badass award goes to Azzi, and the team. The team was on fire with the smothering defense and the poultry in motion offense.

 

[and one]

Dead even Azzi, AE and EW. Azzi the shooter, AE the hustlerer, EW the facilitator.

 

[The deacon]

Evina, with plaudits also to Aaliyah and Azzi!

 

[Geew1992]

The team baby!!

 

[HuskyNan]

Azzi was great, but I got to give the BA to Evina. I've never seen a stat sheet like Evina's tonight: 0-0 shooting, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

This call isn't easy anymore. It just means we've gotten better.

 

[HuskyNan]

Azzi opened up the lane for Aaliyah; Aaliyah forced them to double-team her and take the pressure off Azzi. They are co-Badasses

 

[Bigboote]

I give it to Aaliyah, lots of banging down low and successful most of the time. Great offense and defense.

 

[Jingo]

Definitely our BIGS: 15-19 FGs, 15 rebounds, 7 blocks and untold intimidation!

 

[Childhood]

Azzi & AE

 

[Carnac]

I nominate the doctors and trainers that take care of our team. They do an excellent job mending their injuries and getting them back on the court. A tip ‘o turban to each and everyone of the medical staff. You guys are truly a bunch of bad-asses!!

 

[CL82]

Evina. When you control the game without ever taking a shot, you are a bad ass.

 

[DrummerDee]

Westbrook and Edwards.

 

[EasyEd]

What I've been waiting for from Edwards. I'd give her the edge among all players doing their part.

 

[huskeynut]

Got to go with Momma E.

 

[Woof 101]

Azzi was great, but I got to give the BA to Evina. I've never seen a stat sheet like Evina's tonight: 0-0 shooting, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals.

I have a hard time with this one as the thread has evolved from Badass of the game to player of the game. No disrespect to other thoughts here. I find Paige Bueckers, buzzer beater bucket to end the first quarter to be something badass.
Basically a ... I'M BACK!!! statement.

 

[Zarathustra]

Evina " the MOMA and Grandma " of the team.!!!
As Nika said " Everyone eats" and Westbrook "serves up"
a most memorable example of unselfish dedication to the
whole team / coaches/ and fans. Love that smile,
smoothness, and "nastiness". Go Huskies, be like Moma!
This was a " mirabile visu" performance of a MVP!

 

[Skeets]

Everyone played great. Momma E channeled her inner Nika. But here is my minority opinion. Paige is the BadAss. Coming off of a terrible injury, and defying the top medical experts on the planet here on the Boneyard who said she shouldn't play, she had a productive 12 minutes without being crazy or overly flashy. Really showed what she is made of. That ladies and gentlemen in my book is a BadAss.

 

[Wbbfan1]

I would have said Evina if she had taken 3-5 shot attempts and made 2-3 of them. She had a great game with her passing that led to assists. The downsize is she passed up too many open looks and drives to the basket tht would have resulted in baskets or trips to the Free Throw Line. Her offense wasn't needed against St Johns, but it will be needed against tournament teams. Possibly it might be needed in the Semi-Finals and/or Final in the Big East tournament. I don't want to see Evina reverting back to the player that doesn't look for her points. She needs to be the player she was with the Lady Vols and how she's played in the last couple of weeks.
