Nika: I Will Not Watch It!

[RockyMTblue2]

 

[TWG236]

Neither will I.

 

[fireford]

Don't blame her for not wanting to but she acknowledges that sooner or later Geno is going to force them to.

There are only two outcomes. You win or you learn. This has always been the Uconn wbb thought process. The entire team is a whole lot smarter this year and will give Geno #12 in2022.

"They were just better than us". She doesn't need to watch it, she knows what happened, she knows what has to be done. It was inexperience, not being ready mentally for the big moment. And yes, they were better than us. One year later makes a ton of difference, and now they will be ready to begin their new journey to finish off what they thought they had. Go for it!!!

I also hope the coaching staff will be better as well. Yes I know 2 are in the hall of fame...

Wrong attitude. Need to learn from your mistakes as an athlete - its not just mindset, but tactics, physical development (hit the weight room!), etc.

Nika was the only UCONN player in that game who displayed the sense of urgency that the situation demanded. Everyone else was mailing it in like it was a game against a BE team. She couldn’t convert her teammates in that game but I hope they learned something. Play like Nika and get out this FF rut.

Regardless of talent levels of players, Nika should start. The first thing on the court should be the example of tenacity. It rubs off on people.

She'll watch it...............................or the bench.

Tell Nika to watch the game.

Well, with Kobe breaking it down with you, a bit different. I do not see much value watching it alone. In a group setting with discussion and analysis of course, but watching a loss alone only males you want to through a battery through the TV screen

The only thing one could learn from that game is how to lose because the game was lost before they even took the court.

 

[Huskee11]

I like her and I like her attitude.

Both, I like.

Ok Coach.

 

[CL82]

I will not watch it in a house
I will not watch it with a mouse
I will not watch it here or there
I will not watch it anywhere
I will not watch it in Topeka
I will not watch it, I am Nika.

 

[hoopsfan22]

Nika doesn't look too happy there.

 

[fireford]

Nika doesn't look too happy there.

Yeah, she's got a little McKayla Maroney look going on there.

 

[Biff]

What does watching it again have to do with remembering it?

Nika is Nika...as mentioned last week, she is a great kid....don't pick a fight with her..she will never give up. UConn is lucky to have Nika..she provides so much intensity...Geno must have his hands full since she cried as an early freshman. Her delightful side comes to light when she is with Paige, you know they are twin sisters. Now here comes Azzi...wow...a Geno is needed to deal with the 3 of them. But, Nika is Nika!

 

[JellyBean]

Glad that she mentioned that she would watch it at some point. She knows, like the rest of the UConn program and fans, that Arizona was hungry, ready, and wanted it more than our beloved Huskies did. Hopefully that game fuels their competitive fire over the Spring and Summer.

Nika has become a real firm voice on the team. I think her natural leadership is coming to the front. There are glue players who become the glue and there are players who manufacture the glue to make a team come together. Nika strikes me as the second kind. The master sergeant who's will makes the group a unit.

I should have quoted Yogi Berra instead:

"You can observe a lot by just watching."

I recall Yogi saying that he didn't say a lot of the things that he said.

They do all that, it WAS the mindset.

 

[Mdoggie]

There is actually no look on her face at all. It’s like she turned and someone snap a picture. How someone can get an “unhappy” look for that picture is saying more about that person then Nika. The look is a blank stare.

Have watched the comercial many times but can't tell you what product its for..
