first few games. Maybe 5% better. I still don't think it's adequate.

Nixons defense

I do not think her defense is that bad for a freshman...Yes we need to see improvements and she is...Fortunately, she has team mates where improvement steps can be small...You can see her reaction on the court when she makes a mistake...She is really hard on herself. Besides it is the coaches job to bring her along at the needed pace...I believe she is averaging around 17 minutes a game...That is pretty good for a freshman...Look at Vaughn and especially DP....Dani last year did not see the floor much...Even though both have shown improvements,,,they do not get the minutes as Nixon...If MM was truly not happy with her. I guarantee you she would be on the bench...I remember watching Jackie getting pulled from games and sitting the bench her freshman year....I was concerned she would get frustrated not improve and or transfer....That is my biggest fear...
