Sunday against Marquette, Nika Mühl was scoreless on 0-3 shooting in the UConn women’s basketball team’s 72-58 win over the Golden Eagles.
And yet coach Geno Auriemma still thought it was one of the best games the sophomore from Croatia had played all year.
She finished with six rebounds, a team-high six assists, one steal and just one turnover, and that’s just what appeared in the box score. Auriemma is always one to push his players to impact the game in different ways, especially beyond scoring, and there’s no one who embodies that idea more than Mühl, who as of late has been playing some of her best basketball when the Huskies have needed it most.
