I love it when Nika is one of the interviews as well. She is always at ease and, as you said, responds to each question in a very open and honest way. She is like an open book, nothing guarded or pat in her responses. The reporters, I would guess enjoy interviewing her as well.

Other than a slight accent and the occasional query as to the meaning of a phrase she is unfamiliar with, you really wouldn't know English is not her native language. Her level of fluency is such that she is 'thinking in English' as there is no perceptible time lapse between question and response where she is translating in her head.

Once again apparent from her responses, she obviously loves and respects Geno. I believe that is reciprocal, even though she may at times continue to drive him crazy. I think being coached by him was a key factor in her choosing to come to Uconn. So happy she is here. Love watching her play and truly enjoy hearing her interviews.
