Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 4396323, member: 5823"] Fact Check: 1) Geno has never stated that UCONN is a "much better team" with Nika on the floor. That just does make sense because in addition to being the worse shooter among the regular rotation players Nika is the backup PG behind Paige so that would mean the team plays better without Paige as the PG? But I can see why you would want to interpret things that way. 2) The calls by Geno for Nika to become a better shooter began in the pre-season of Nika's Freshman year as I recently posted. If you are referring to the most recent public calls by Geno for Nika to improve offensively those calls began in a Mike Anthony article from [B]June 22nd 2022[/B]- see link below.

The need for Nika to become a better offensive player were early in her UCONN tenure, has persisted, and has NOTHING to do with Paige . Nika began her UCONN tenure by making only 1 of her first 14 shots ( 8 of 14 were missed layups). The posters and supporters of the program (which includes Geno) that are pointing this out are not doing so because they hate Nika. We are doing this because it is necessary for the team to be more successful and we will continue to do so until the improvement is made. So please stop with the name calling and research your facts more carefully. [/QUOTE]
