Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3806255, member: 7492"] So, let me recap what I heard directly from Geno on the pregame and postgame discussions regarding Nika, Mir and Evina: Pregame plan was to get Nika more minutes (20ish) and he indicated this was to be the plan going forward. Postgame on Mir and Nika, Geno stated he KNOWS they will bring energy to the floor, whether or not they contribute in scoring or defense, he's not sure but he does like that energy. Postgame on Evina is the knee is still a day to day issue with her and drives how long she can practice. The knee issue is not going away so let's just assume she's uncomfortable at most times and deals with it. She did seem to drive to the basket more in this PC game more so than any other UConn game and looked more like her for LV self doing that. So to me, I would say Geno sees something in Nika at the practices that he wants to see in games, not as a BE tryout per se' as suggested but as his view she can/should contribute. While I do think [USER=5823]@CocoHusky[/USER] can come across a tad harsh at times, I do think he is observant and he doesn't "hate NM", he just wants evidence in games of the skills we all tout-fair enough, I say and hopefully Wednesday is the day we see everything on display-assists, defense, layups and outside shooting! Mir was the pleasant surprise coming in so soon and showing her energy and contributions. Hopefully it stays consistent. [/QUOTE]
