LOL. From the 3rd article, from Marquette:

On Wednesday night, they faced off against #21 Creighton still without Fudd, but with Muhl and Juhasz, but without Amari DeBerry and Aubrey Griffin.... and they smashed the Bluejays, 72-47. UConn went up 10-0 in the first three minutes and didn’t really worry about much after that. Two teams with effectively the same national profile at the time of the game, both games on the road, and UConn just raced through the most recent one after losing to the other one.

Does this mean that Nika Muhl and Dorkha Juhasz are game changers? Well, I don’t know if we can go that far with things, but I am legitimately afraid of Muhl who looks like one of the meanest players isn Big East history when you watch her. I’m sure she’s nice but also I do not wish to accidentally piss her off and find out what happens.

I don't like being cynical but sometimes I think its the only response:

Note that the ESPN review lists Fudd as the key UConn player to watch. No mention that she's been injured and is questionable. I could be wrong but I'm guessing that whoever wrote this preview really didn't put a whole lot of effort into it.

I suspect it’s computer generated

Given the byline, I was wondering that as well. But I’d still hope a real person would review what they put out there.

Maybe it's me, but I find Nika's game-time demeanor quite charming and endearing..

Yeah, we know her, but people might get a different idea after viewing her profile picture. I would be afraid too. LOL

Maybe when they realized in the above shot she was talking to her own teammates they got the wrong impression of just how passive and what nice a kid she can be! Guessing Aubrey is thinking, 'glad she's not looking at me'.

I'm sure that I'm NOT alone in my admiration for players that play with a "chip" on the shoulder and display their raw emotions. I find that 100% more desirable than a player that's just out there and is invisible. Nika's emotion is infectious. It will spread to her teammates. I love it. It can only help. It can't hurt. It's not an act. That's who she is.

She reminds me of Skylar Diggins (Notre Dame). While I was never a fan of Diggins or Notre Dame, I always respected her passion, grit nd determination she displayed and the "no fear" attitude she played with. It served her and her team well. She was the heart and soul of those teams. I know there were others, but two players that never appeared to be intimidated by UConn was Diggins and Courtney Williams (USF), Williams has identified Diana Taurasi as a player who “I look up to and who I compare my mentality to." I liked the passion that our own Diana Taurasi played as well. Nika's messgage to her teammates..........."it's ok to play with an edge and no fear. Who's with me?"
