I really liked this presser. All 3 players were asked multiple questions and the chemistry and enjoyment of all 3 was playable.

I am curious what was the question or fact that was raised at the end that surprised the players so much. Something to do with international makeup of the team it seems?

Near as I could tell that was it, that the 5 starting players were from 5 different countries.

They do UConn proud, both on the court and off. How cool it is to have such mature, well-spoken young women as Dorka and Lou representing the Huskies; as for Azzi, she apparently was born mature and well-spoken.

They're combined age is 67, with age comes wisdom!

It was mentioned that the starting lineup consisted of 5 players from 5 different countries. Lou (Spain/France), Dorka (Hungary), Nika (Croatia), Aaliyah (Canada), and Azzi (USA)

IIRC Lou grew up in Mexico before moving to France.

Lou was born in Mexico and lived there until age 5, when her parents divorced. I believe she lived in France for 10+ years.

What does it take to get on the podium? Nika led the offense and defense, was working on a quadruple-double, and was +58, but couldn't make it. Tough standards!

Nika just passed it off.

I turned 72 today, and I am anxiously awaiting my epiphany!

Best line from post game presser
Lou-Says she feels less pressure than when she was the go to at Fairfield.
Imagine coming to UConn and feeling LESS pressure

Nike doesn’t take “offense”. After all, she is known for her defense.

"No more Europeans!"
Sveta must be laughing.

 

[JellyBean]

Solid presser. Great responses to the questions.

 

[Zarathustra]

Nika just passed it off.

NIKA is noted for saying " an assist makes two people happy". In this case her multiple
assists ( 11?) made all three of these lady very happy!

Thank you ever so much. Go Huskies.

I am a proud American but I love those international players. I could cry thinking about how Paige and Azzi cannot play together this year, life is so cruel!!!
