I remember her last game, Huskies lost.....she netted 25 points, fighting till the very end, all on a bum knee, big time gumtion, no quit in her. She's in my mental Husky HOF, love Lou.
Oh man, just adore her and her gritty drive, effort, and take no prisoners approach. At least we get to enjoy her in a UCONN uni for a few more weeks. Thank you Nika for everything.....you are one special person and player.
Good shots Max. Did you shoot these with a DSLR or a mirrorless? I tried getting my Sony Mirrorless with a 135MM f/1.8 lens into the Xavier-UCONN game in Cincinatti a few weeks ago and was barred at the door. Was not happy at that point!
I was at that game. What an incredible person Paige is, I honestly don't know how she copes with it all. All the signs being held up by young kids were for one person - Paige.
After seeing her on video for the first time several months ago, I have been thrilled she is going to be a Husky. Now seeing her as one of the 5 finalists for the top player award is tremendous...!

I'm planning on being at the game, my first ever time seeing the Huskies in-person. Hopefully I'll get a few good pix too, if they don't give me any grief about taking my camera in...!
Yea, that is what I meant - at the wing/SF spot. I agree, she strikes me as having a lot of talent, capability, and general basketball savvy and awareness.
Ever since I first saw one of her highlight reels a few months ago I've been sold on her floor abilities and overall game.
She's 6'2"- maybe she could play some down low? Esp. if we don't land Ms. Strong...?
She is, and that announcer really puts the zing in her name...!
I always remember Geno saying "Just wait till her basketball skills catch up to her athletic skills".
I do beleive that day has arrived. :)
Nika is a tremendous team player for us, and personality wise she seems to be the "it" girl - just a wonderfully delightful and warm person, so glad she is a Husky.
