WATCH: UConn Women's Basketball Postgame Press Conference (Xavier) - 1/15/22

I watched the game yesterday and let me say I think Nika Muhl makes a big difference in the starting lineup. She promotes good ball movement and plays scrappy on ball defense and brings a lot of enthusiasm onto the floor. Westbrook has not played well for some reason and Muhl starting over her to my eyes makes a big difference in the way the team plays. I have spoken to some fans who do not like Muhl's brazen attitude and body language after fouling. The one thing she does need to clean up a bit is her body language after being whistled for fouls. She miraculously has not gotten called for a T yet but that will happen if she does not improve the body language. She also sometimes gets called for way too aggressive and hard fouls so I do not understand her body language. I like the competitiveness, as does Geno, she just needs to control it better.
