Given that we are already down the best player in the nation (Paige) and one of the best freshmen (Ice) AND our starting center (Dorka), I'd say it's nothing short of miraculous that we have played as well as we have.

[USER=11664]@sun[/USER] said Azzi is leading by example. He did not say she was the leader in huddles, bringing the ball up, being vocal, etc. That almost always is the PG's duties, and Nika is having a remarkable season as she's the engine that makes the team purr smoothly.

And Sun correctly pointed out all the fantastic things Azzi is excelling at this season. Thus far, IMHO, she's the leading candidate for NPOY by a country mile. Of course there is a ton of basketball to be played. Not sure it's humanly possible for her to produce like that the rest of the season. I don't think there's a player in UCONN history who has averaged over 25 PPG for an entire season. I think Maya was close to that in 2011.

Anyway Azzi is showing out. She told Geno she could handle it, and boy she sure has. NPOY Azzi!
