Nika is such a self aware kid...

 

[Bald Husky]

Nothing about Nika surprises me, knowing she was coming to a school that had a girl at the same position, one that was High School player of the year. She knew she could learn from her, and indeed she did. She's a fighter, and all she wanted to do was play and learn from a winner. This girl has her head screwed on right. This is the mentality of girls that come to UConn, one that can learn and get better as time goes on, and if they play their cards right, will play for the ultimate prize in a National Championship.

More assists = more points = more wins! Go Nika! Go Huskies!

There have been many fans, new to women's college basketball, who immediately recognize the transcendent ability of Paige as well as Caitlin Clark. Nika, as she referenced in the article, saw Paige's talent from the perspective of a competing player. Rather than being scared off, she wanted the challenge to play with the big girls.

UConn has benefitted her, but UConn has received dividends in return.

This young lady will persevere in any endeavor in life because she is fearless and determined. We are so lucky to have her.

She’s an amazing kid. Completely open to a challenge and the epitome of a growth mindset.

I loved Nika's grit from the first time I saw her play. He is a great leader and a very good defender. I like that she has expanded her offense lately taking the ball to the hoop giving UCONN one more scoring option. I think she will average double figures in the tournament and be a big part of the UCONN success.

Far from competitors, Nika and Paige became besties, seemingly inseparable. I hope very much that they get at least next season to play together and collectively lift the Huskies.

in assists or points? i'd much prefer assists.

then of course, maybe she could do both ... and why not rebounds and steals too? 'twould be wonderful. a quadruple double.

"We've been broken so many times this year that we're unbreakable now." Nika Mühl

She has been so many things for us this year, now she wants to be a Doctor of Psychology and a Pulitzer Prize winning wordsmith as well. She gets my vote!

 

[Beemer]

What a great kid. Always looking to get better, always giving credit to her teammates. And maybe giving a little credit to Geno too

I'm going to miss her when she graduates.

 

[Bone Dog]

In one of the mic’d up practice videos, you can hear Nika grumbling about how Geno is “such a genius.” She’s coachable, but there’s a pretty thick crust any coach has to get through first.
