Have you ever had a chance to watch Nicole Cardaño-Hillary play in-person? Because there’s things that just don’t show up on the broadcast.
She was known for her tenacious defense at Indiana, she had an eye for the ball. No, literally, if you watched her play defense she’d almost never take her eyes off the ball. Always looking to make a play, grab a steal, anything to disrupt.
Those few times that she took her eyes off the ball? It was to look her opponent right in the eye, and occasionally give them a knowing smile. She was getting in their head, and she knew it.
