She was the dominant player in the game last night despite the great games Dorka and Aubrey had. I don't see how she is not one of the 10 best players in the country right now. 2) They are so well coached it is seamless. They run their offense so adroitly and their switching defense, when you can see the whole half court, is non pareil. There were several times that Hall players got past their man into the lane and all of a sudden there were 2-3 UCONN players there. Seton Hall was stymied, frustrated and downright shut down. 3) The esprit de corps. They just comport themselves like professionals, maybe better. Nika is in charge out there. She looks at Geno every time she has the ball to bring up except on a break or in quick transition. If he gives her the set fine, if not, she picks it. Everyone listens to Nika. You watch her you see great leadership and unselfishness. 4) If you love basketball in its pure form, see them live and as close as possible. Nika's facial expressions are very entertaining. 5) Finally, there was an 8th man in warm ups last night and on the bench. Who was that? [/QUOTE]
