Nika Closes in on Assist Record

Nika will soon pass Mo for the all-time assist title but Mo was much better at protecting the ball. Nika has turned the ball over 296 times in 3518 minutes on the court, an average of 1 turnover every 11.88 minutes. Mo turned the ball over 249 times in 4130 minutes of court time, an average of 1 turnover every 16.59 minutes. Nika averages 2.4 TOs/game for her UConn career. Mo averaged 1.6 for hers.

Mo was also a better shooter too. Mo shot .618 for her career on 2 pt shots. Nika is at .526. Mo shot .420 from the arc for her career. Nika is at .360.

Fouls? Nika has 255 in 3518 court minutes, an average of 1 every 13.8 minutes (I honestly thought it would be more often) or 2.1 PFs/game (I honestly thought it would be more). Mo had 223 fouls in 4130 minutes, an average of 1 every 18.52 minutes or 1.4 per game.

Nika will rightfully go down in the record books as our all-time assist leader but I think the person she is supplanting was the better overall backcourt player.
