Villanova Pregame Availability (merged)

The fierce one cracks me up about her assessment of the break and the last game. :D It is a great interview.


Listening to Nika is such a pleasure-her friendliness to the reporters, her sense of humor, her polish. It's like she is a communication major even tho English is her second language. If I was in HR at a major company, I would offer her a job in a minute. It was interesting that she had to check on the correct word between over or under rated.

I also enjoyed the part of the interview where she discussed Jana. I think we are also going to fall in love with her ( Jana).

edit:

I just finished watching the second interview (with Aaliyah) These two individuals make you proud to be a Husky fan. They are both so professional.

Both player interviews are great. They are both relaxed, funny, introspective, and articulate. They take their leadership roles very seriously. Great players, great teammates, great role models. Great interviews!

In particular I thought Nika’s answers were largely pitch perfect, especially when two reporters were practically begging her to compare herself to the point guards of the past at UConn - she deflected such comparisons and instead focused on wanting to be remembered as a great teammate, a player that other players want to be around, a hard worker, and someone who gave 100%.

In contrast, when asked about Aaliyah, she was gushing in her praise and referred to her as one of the great players ever to play at UConn.
 
I had assumed that both would be leaving without question. After those two interviews, I’m no longer so positive. The interview with Nika was amazing; even more so when one realizes that English is her second language. I would love to see her interviewed in Croatian, even though I don’t even know one word in the language.

Ask and you shall receive. Found this on an internet search. Turns out its from a 2019 post by our own RockyMTblue2 ! Alittle hard to hear her over the background noise but towards the end it's a bit quieter. Equally as genuine, at ease and engaging several years ago as a teen speaking Croatian as she is today as a 22 year old UConn veteran.
