Analysis and Comments - Game 13 - UConn vs Marquette

[JBK]

If Nika holds Jordan King to <10 points, she'll have dominated the matchup, even if she hardly scores at all. The impact on Marquette's offense will be the same as if Nika. sores 20.

Great point.
My only wish is that Nika try to be an offensive threat so her defender is not doubling our bigs or Paige. -

Shooting percentage was the killer. Marquette had shiny numbers from previous games. But they weren't playing against UConn. They shot 34% and 28% today.
