Message: [QUOTE="Inthepaint, post: 5337586, member: 11386"] Nika gaveth & Nika tooketh away. IMHO, her pluses far outweighed her minuses. Looking beyond stats & other metrics, she plays like she MEANS it. My key memory of Nika’s UCONN career took place during the first game of the NCAA tourney, her freshman year. She injured her ankle badly enough to not only miss the rest of the game but also the balance of the tourney Hobbling out on crutches, sitting up with ice on her outstretched leg she knew her season was over and she could only give her “sisters” moral support. No doubt the leg hurt , but you could see her weeping was pure frustration & disappointment. After that , no matter how many boneheaded passes or dumb fouls made me pull my hair, I KNEW Nika was a keeper Guess Geno thought so, too. [/QUOTE]
