It did limit because as you say UCONN was playing short-handed.

If they weren't playing short-handed then you would probably have seen more like the beginning of Nika's jr year.

That’s when they wiped out Texas, Duke and NC State. The Texas coach spoke after that game and said no one had torched his defense the way Azzi did in a long long time. And we know who was running the offense to get the ball to Azzi. - Nika

And the 4th game was vs a good opponent was Iowa. The same team that later on went on to beat SoCar. UCONN put the game away with about 3 minutes left. In the 4 games UCONN put up 338 pts vs high quality coached teams; an average of 84.5 ppg.

So yes I agree that when UCONN got destroyed by injuries, the pg Geno recruited as a primary passer, defender, and work-in-progress to hit open shots, Nika Muhl; if the rest of her team built with perimeter scorers got wiped out with injury; sure,- Nika would struggle to score. Some players do have limitations. If players such as Edwards and Griffin were required to go out of their zone and be required to become 3pt shooters, then that would have been a limitation too.
