Ducharme and DeBerry drove her to get the MRI that evening. Nika Mühl and Dorka Juhász were back home overseas ... “It was I think 5 a.m.,” Mühl said. “I just literally started crying. I was like bawling my eyes out. Mühl said. “But if we didn’t go through what we went through last year and we heard the news, it would be 10 times harder. Bueckers said the duo had a conversation about what Mühl’s new role will look like and how they can help one another with the transition. Mühl was already focused on improving her offensive game this offseason but said she took her workouts to another level of intensity after receiving news of the injury. “And J [assistant coach Jamelle Elliott] said that the other day. She was like, ‘With Paige out, did that even cross your mind, like that you might have to be backup point guard?’ And I was like, ‘No, it did not cross my mind. But I’m ready for it.’ I like a good challenge.” Ducharme said. “But I think it helps us this year that we have all summer, we have all fall, we have the preseason to kind of adjust and figure out what our new identity is gonna be.” [/QUOTE]
