Nika appreciation thread

Any thoughts on Hana taking a graduate student year with the Huskies?

I don't think Hana is eligible. She started college after the Covid season, I believe.

Let's recap: Nika has long been a menace. Hana has become a menace. Darko must be Croatian for Dennis.

Any thoughts on Hana taking a graduate student year with the Huskies?

Hana is only a sophomore, so she still has 2 years of eligibility left.

Last night Marquette started with and often had two forwards in the game and it looked like they usually put one of them on Nika and hoped for the best. She made them pay by hitting the open threes.

With Watson and Westbeld, it may be a similar situation against ND.

Even more noteworthy are the two foul line jumpers! It was the correct play both times. In prior years she would have passed it up and possibly tried to force a drive or a pass that was not there.

KK, Paige and Nika are benefitting assist-wise from Shade`s quick and accurate trigger from the corners.

So impressed with the way Nika has evolved her game since last year. This is something you don't see very often in an upperclassman. The pullup J and the consistent 3-ball and the aggressive drives to the hoop (not just to pass) all obviously a full step up from last year. What a great career she is having.

Why UConn women's basketball's senior guard Nika Mühl playing more 'comfortable' this season

UConn women's basketball's senior guard Nika Mühl is playing more 'comfortable' this season despite being one of three true point guards in the lineup.

She needs to be first team All American to make the Wall and people that vote on AA awards usually don’t recognize defense and assists as much as gaudy scoring numbers

True enough, but I've always felt that any Huskie who was awarded the National Defensive Player of the Year should also be included in those making the wall. Afterall it's one person not one of five or ten All Americans.

But she hasn’t received that either

I did not say that she did. Just wanted to point out that i think it's worthy of having recognition on he wall.

Now that Boston is in the W, who are the leading candidates for NDPOY? Standouts I’ve seen include Brink, Cardoso, Bueckers, and Muhl.

I’m anticipating Brink. However, if Nika can slow Hidalgo down this weekend and neutralize whichever SC guard she finds herself matching up with, she’d stand a great chance.

Brink because she alters and blocks shots? If so, I've always been suspect of this criteria, as I prefer the defenders that do all the hard work against a team's leading scorer.
