Look at Nika's eyes.

You just know what's about to happen.

Stanford has a bunch of high dribblers. Let's turn them over!!

I was once a high dribbler. Then my coach said "No drinking before games."

Excellent point. The Hull twins and even Haley Jones have those waist-high dribbles. I hope Nikia gets some time to get some rips...

Two guys on the right in the photo, one pointing and one slapping his forehead. Maybe THEY know what`s about to happen.

That's the same look I get when someone cracks open a stack of pizzas at an office party.

 

[jchusky]

as one of the biggest critics of her offense I'm here to tell you, she was the reason this game was close. If she had not come in the 2nd with that 9-0 run spark with her defense we don't get the Paige Buckers performance in OT.

They do know. They are watching the replay!

Nika reminds me of a predator stalking a gazelle…..

She is looking at that ball thinking "lunch"

Also. The screener throwing her knee out an uncalled foul

Great point.

Foul?

 

[CTrefugee]

Great point.

pun intended ?

Hoping to see this aggression a lot tonight and Nika's picks translating to uncontested finishes on the other end. If Nika can use her quick hands to get touches and deflections she can really disrupt Stanford's offense and feed ours. I'm hoping Geno deploys this weapon proactively tonight rather than just reactively. Getting fast starts in the 1st and 3rd and playing with a lead to build rather than a deficit to overcome would be a real positive against a talented Stanford squad. Getting them to play out of their comfort zone is where Nika can best help her team.

 

[Bald Husky]

Point guard is their weakness, so Nika could cause a lot of problems for them if she is let loose. I think she should get some PT in the first quarter to test them out.

 

[npignatjr]

Last night those eyes were on rebounds. Whatever it takes, the whole team played that way.

 

[Zarathustra]

Against Stanford Nika had an "eye" for rebounds, 8 !!!
Maybe she can put in some time at Center with Dorka
next year! Way to go, Nika!

 

[#12in21]

Does anybody else see a similarity with Nika's feeling about the ball, be it for a steal or rebound, to Gullam's obsession with 'his precious' in Lord of the Rings? Her eyes are always laser focused on the prize.

Niks’s thinking - “Mine!”
