Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 3953945, member: 250"] Very long article full of quotes about Nika Muhl. Geno's feelings about his tough guard come through. "Mühl admits once her stubbornness gave way, everyone benefited. Auriemma may have won that battle, but doesn’t think he’ll ever win the war. And he doesn’t intend to. “I don’t want her to all of a sudden become boring. I don’t want her to become, ‘well I’ll do exactly what coach says’ and be robotic,” Auriemma said. “I just need her understand when to and when not to and how to pick her spots. ... But I want who she is.” There is a lot Mühl brings to the table that few others have. Auriemma recognizes that Mühl’s grit and tenacity stirred up the team and rubbed off on everyone else,[B] something he expects will be even more pronounced next season.[/B] He’ll take her toughness, selflessness and spunk every day over someone who doesn’t have such fire. It is the same with her passion and will to win. Auriemma said Mühl took UConn’s Final Four loss to Arizona, her first game back from an ankle injury that kept her out of three tournament games, “just as hard, if not harder, than anybody else.” [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/hc-sp-uconn-women-nika-muhl-profile-20210421-20210422-z6cvzraxnvcchckvaa7fpniapm-story.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=UConn%20Alerts%20-%20Don%27t%20Miss&utm_content=6011619108234#nws=true[/URL] [/QUOTE]
