Some still say pretty bad things about her...  for example, recently one poster stated she uses more energy complaining to the Referees than she does at trying to get baskets or play defense... I Paraphrase because I don't have the exact quote handy.  To that, I say... WHAT??? For one example of her energy on defense...in last night's game... late in the 2nd quarter, Xavier's PG drove toward the lane... maybe half way toward the hoop going to her right...Nika was a gnat...right in her face impeding her from going further... the Xavier PG shifted to go left...again Nika was a gnat...right in her face, body to body...NOT fouling... the PG got frustrated and passed the ball off to a teammate.  I laughed when I saw the reaction of the Xavier PG at Nika's tenacity.  Reminded me of Caitlin Clark's comment in the huddle during our game vs Iowa... "I got this girl in my face all the time...I need someone to get her off me." or words to that effect.

She was a great find by Geno... AND has been a VERY valuable piece of the UCONN Team this year; especially given Paige's injury in preseason.
