Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 4394867, member: 5823"] Lots of reasons. 1) Did Richards Freshman and Sophomore numbers at Baylor are significantly better than Nika's no matter which way you want to parse them. For example you point out that Didi made 2.7 baskets per game in her first two season while Nika has made only 1.6 or 90 FG in 56 Games. 2) Sophomore Didi Richards was a NCAA champion and scored 7.2 PPG which is almost twice what Nika has put up in her best season thus far. 3) If your proposal is that Nika is going to play like Didi Richards did as a junior then sign me up for that all day long. Since you mention the NCSt game and in support of [USER=12088]@Bone Dog[/USER] earlier point about critical late game situations, this was a double OT game in which Nika logged at total of 8 minutes of game time and Zero minutes combined in the overtime periods of the game. As you correctly point out Nika played well in those 8 minutes of game action and she was on the floor when UCONN need a critical stop at the end of regulation. What this also illustrates is what [USER=10763]@#12in21[/USER] is struggling with (Nika's value to the team not being recognized) and I tend to think is way out of proportion. In this same game UCONN had 3 guards that played 45, 48 & 49 minutes respectively. BTW great shooters are not born great shooter.
