Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 3889301, member: 5823"] That the thing that mostly getting lost in this celebration. Nika improved defense is the result of a dramatic improvement in defensive techniques. She is taking the right angles, if she find herself in trail position she is locked in on strong hip of the defender and she not getting caught up on screens. She is over playing the passing lanes with the correct hand. When switching she is decisive. None of these techniques were present during the early part of the season. The one thing I'm anxious to see during tournament play is how the refs will call the the reach in swipes by Nika in the open court where it is just her and the ball handler. During BE play that was rarely called as a foul but I suspect come NCAA tournament time it will be called more closely. [/QUOTE]
