I recall after UCONN beat Baylor there were comments made that UCONN was lucky to win because Baylor's pg was hurt and completely disregarding the Nika loss. At times there are some UCONN fans that imo want to pretend to be fair and they go overboard by providing incorrect criticism. It doesn't matter individual players were better than Muhl on a 1-on-1 basis. She was excellent. she allowed Paige to play both on-and-off the ball. And after she got her feet wet as frosh her 3pt shooting from the time she fist 1started or started playing significant minutes, she shot 37.5 from 3. The reason why she didn't shoot well as a soph is that they moved back the 3pt line. And her jr year she had to play way too many minutes. And in her jr year there was 1 play that sticks in my mind vs Iowa in which Azzi was struggling from 3. On a semi-fastbreak she then slowed down then deliberately dribbled toward Azzi's defender. Then stuck her backside into the defender while shuffling a pass to now an open Azzi because Nika effectively picked Azzi's defender. Azzi ended up drilling her 1st 3 then went on to hit several other 3's thereafter. The point is Nika Muhl would bleed to get the ball to UCONN's scorers whether a short shuffle pass or a pick etc. Her play was not entirely measurable. [/QUOTE]
