Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4256130, member: 10435"] Before you criticize, read Geno's quote about Nika recently hating everybody ( tongue in cheek) and it also includes a passage about Paige wanting to start and him having a riot on his hands. The next game Paige started and Nika did not. The conclusion was not unreasonable. That's where I got that implication from. It was not fictional at all but based on those facts and his statement. Now, the other side of the coin is that Geno said the reason Nika didn't play in the second half against UCF was because he needed offense. Azzi played almost the entire game despite 3 very improvident passes that were stolen. Paige is obviously a lot more offense than Nika. That is perhaps another reason and maybe the determinative one since Geno also said the defense was very good without Nika against UCF. I like Nika starting however. I think she adds a lot of energy and identity to the team. She has to control her adrenaline/emotions though. After she hit that 3 she committed 2 quick unnecessary fouls and was done. [/QUOTE]
