[ThisJustIn]

Unsung: Ice.

 

[Kaizen]

Paige yes the queen of basketball ............then Ice the breaker

 

[darrell]

Paige did what Paige does, but shout out to Ice! After averaging 16 minutes, she played the full 40 and didn’t commit a single foul in the second half.

 

[oldude]

Paige has so many BA awards, she has no place to put them. So today, my BA goes to Ice, who played her heart out for all 40 minutes!!!

 

[pghhuskydoc]

Paige was phenomenal today, but……..
Ice was fantastic. She’s grown so much over the past few weeks.

 

[Zarathustra]

Of course PAIGE She scored for herself and Aaliyah! Marquette only outscored PAIGE by 2 points I.E.
Golden Eagles 29 PAIGE ( "the magnificent" ) "BUCKETS" 27 !!!! Our AA !!
But Kudos to ICE TREMENDOUS EFFORT 10 points TWO FOULS and NONE in the Second Half!!
ICE 40 minutes of playing time! three for 8 field goals A THREE POINTER!! Three for 6 from
the foul line. FIVE REBOUND Two Assists and A STEAL.... GREAT GRITY JOB, BIG GIRL!!

Paige

27pts, 12 rebounds is pretty damn badass.

The original purpose of this award was not to award the best player (else it would have been called something like Game MVP), it was supposed to be awarded to someone who showed up tough and resolute against adversity.

Given the original purpose of this award, I vote for Brady.

 

[Blueballer]

I know lots of people want to reward ICE for a clutch fill in job in a tough spot and rightly so but this isn't a question today. We just saw one of the great Husky performances through the years. An incredible complete game from the master.

Sorry Digger I get your sentiment but "tough and resolute against adversity" also describes what Paige did. She didn't even have a TO. They would be close to tackling her and she would roll it out to a teammate.

 

[huskeynut]

Obviously Paige. But big kudos to Ice. What a game.

 

[Skittles405]

Ice for me was the BA of the game
HM-the entire team for the defense they played to keep them scoreless for a quarter and a half!,

 

[Skeets]

Paige was clearly the player of the game.

But my badass is ICE. When the bugler sounded "Boots and Saddles" Ice responded. Ice, Saddle up!.

 

[Jackalope]

Paige. Not just for the points and rebounds. The ultimate Badass move is a stuffing block and then 2 seconds later, stealing the inbounds pass.

 

[dtbtbtb]

POG : All World Paige! Badass: Ice (who would have thought that she can play efficient 40 min. and not fouling out?).

 

[NEforceUConn]

That must be Paige’s best game (to date) wearing a UConn uniform. Unbelievable!

 

[oldude]

That must be Paige’s best game (to date) wearing a UConn uniform. Unbelievable!

Now there's a subject of debate. The SC game her freshman year and the Elite 8 game vs NC State her sophomore year have to be considered.

 

[my2cents]

Paige almost outscored Marquette, SINGLEHANDILIY. PAIGE.

 

[ThisJustIn]

Rough transcription of post game Debbie with Ice:
Debbie: Stepping in for AE how did you prepare/mentally prepared?

Every day in practice we prepare for that. I’ve been watching her. We switch out in practice cause short handed. It was fun though. Teammate have been building my confidence.

D:40 minutes. Fatigue?
Media timeouts def help. Coach pushes beyond that. Couple of moments. It was fun.

D: Defense? Strategy.

Pack in paint. Close out on main shooters. Wasn’t surprised we performed cause we focused on it. *Geno walks by and bellows 'Aw shut up.' Laugh.

D: You outscored Points in paint, and hit that 3

Fellt great expecially after the calls before. I was a little frustrated so glad it went in.

D:Recovery?

Ice bath, massages, good food, good dinner. Get ready for that title game.

Gotta say, that three by Paige at the end of the quarter was a dagger through Marquett’s heart. The life completely left their game after that. Paige has to be the badass.

 

[Majic Hands]

ICE​

 

[Shorty Dee]

My badass award goes to Paige. Honable mention goes to Ice. Paige was on fire, and let Marquette know she came to play for herself and teammates!! Ice answered the call, and she played strong!!

 

[FormerCTrez]

Paige, BA, and the Pagettes!! What a game!! And to top off the win, I love the smile on Ice’s face, as well as the chest bump that included Aaliyah!!
These freshmen have suddenly grown up. But they have to do it again tomorrow, whether or not Aaliyah‘s in the lineup. Go Huskies! Go UConn!!

 

[MinneHusky]

I have to go with Ice. Paige HM simply because she's Paige and is incredible.
