Nika vs. Gamecocks

[AmeriConn]

Nika is about to put the Gamecocks through hell tonight! (Credit to UConnWBBy90 on Twitter.)

She’s the new x-factor since Dorka will not be available to play

I Just hope she has more points than fouls though I am not willing to bet on it...

Don’t worry, she will!

Nika brings the ball up quickly, but, I'd like her to keep going to the basket. There's an opportunity for points or fouls. I know there could be offensive fouls but the msg is we're gonna go to the basket.

Play defense and kick in a board or three. All hands on deck on the glass tonight.

I don't care, I want to see her rebound among the trees as she did in the Stanford game.

Did not have Nika outrebounding Cameron Brink on my bingo card but I also was oddly not surprised - her heart and energy are unmatched. So much love for her

Maybe "kick in" is a a poor choice of words for Nika.

Nika's done a remarkable job of reining in the over aggressiveness that leads to stupid fouls but I don't think she will ever get rid of it entirely. She's a high risk/high reward kind of player and I'm damned glad she's ours.

Do your thing Nika- make the Huskies better every time you step on the court!!!

I hope SC doesn't press.

Team has a swag when she's on the floor. Hope to see a lot of her tonight.

I know we all love Nika and she will really work on her offensive game in the off season. She must be more of a scoring threat next year.

Amen +1. Use the same defensive intensity to develop a drive-to-the hoop-and-dish game on offense.... and practice free throws! Usually it's the other way around - you have to beg kids to play defense and pass, you don't usually have to beg them to shoot the ball.
