Morning-after thoughts:  Kudos to Nika and her impending move to the Left Coast.

One other person who is known as being a mentor  -- well, mother hen -- is Sami Whitcomb, who is a mainstay at Seattle at this point.

BTW, I've always been a fan of Nika, but Seattle isn't totally devoid of young international talent at point guard: Jade Melbourne completed her first year for Seattle and is probably younger than Nika! I'm not looking at them as competitors, though, but as a pair of very good young backcourters who can mix it up for the vets.

As per the coughing jags re: the Liberty.  I watched Ole Miss twice in the NCAA's: first against Marquette, then (obviously) against the Fighting Irish. For the world I couldn't remember her, so I went back to the stats:
[LIST]
[*]1-8 against Marquette for 4 pts total against Marquette
[*]2-11 against Notre Dame for 6 pts.
[/LIST]

This might be a case of overthinking/wish fulfillment (she's tall and athletic and Ole Miss plays swarming defense). Yes, she's a tad taller, but not a shooter or ball distributor. I expected Nika or Celeste Taylor in that spot. Interestingly, those two were chosen right next to each other a bit later.
