Nika

 

[pghhuskydoc]

Aaliyah Edwards. Really dominated the second half.
Honorable mention to Nika who really showed up and showed out after the ND debacle.

 

[Blueballer]

AE she took a pounding and still performed.

 

[Bigboote]

Muhl.

Honorable mention to Shade for that one rebound halfway through the first half. My wife even exclaimed and she was hardly watching.

 

[EricLA]

Normally I agree with Tony, but I gotta go with Nika. Great recovery from her ND performance - played in control, only 1 foul, and did a bit of everything. Liya was a warrior and scored the most points, but Nika felt like the engine.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

DeBerry. The hoop was an ocean. She couldn't miss!

 

[CL82]

Coming back to play well after a tough game is hard. Coming back and scoring a double double? That's badass.

Nika.

 

[MinneHusky]

Nika and AE

 

[Husky fanatic]

Nika as Edwards missed a few bunnies

 

[oldude]

Paige, Nika and Aaliyah all stepped up, particularly in the 2nd half. But I have to hand the Bad Ass to Aaliyah who went BEAST MODE in the 2nd half.

 

[fomalhaut]

Nika. Only double-double of the game, ten assists and 2 steals with only 2 TO and 2 fouls, and 2 three-pointers.

 

[huskeynut]

Nika!!

 

[HuskyNan]

Just a reminder that the Badass Award isn’t based on stats. See #4 below.

It’s tie for me between AE and Nika

 

[ME Husky Fan]

Edward’s, edging out Nika by a hair so no HM here

 

[MSGRET]

Nika, she not only had a double-double, but was tied for second in rebounding with Paige, shot 5-7, 2-4 from 3 pt, was the only one with multiple steals and played 39 minutes with only committing 2 fouls and 2 T/O's.

 

[Crossover]

Nika, she not only had a double-double, but was tied for second in rebounding with Paige, shot 5-7, 2-4 from 3 pt, was the only one with multiple steals and played 39 minutes with only committing 2 fouls and 2 T/O's.

You didn't even mention the defense she played on Olson, which was definitely badass.

Yes, but that is usually a given for her, if it was only her defense all the others would say that's her specialty considering she has been the BE Defensive player of the year the past two and should be this year as well.

YES, NOT STATS: GRIT and "dagger(s) in the heart", especially at
a gut-wrenching moment. A blocked shot, a steal, a clutch basket,
the rebound that defines a defensive stop.... KILLER PLAYS!

 

[Zarathustra]

Thanks for the reminder of the "DEFINITION" of a BAD ASS. Stats are not the issue!!

 

[Ozimoto]

Nika gets my vote. Great bounce back game and she hit timely shots with a key steal and break away layup to extend the lead, getting separation from Villanova which in turn required them to speed up their offense to try to get back in the game.
