Nikola Dzepina on Second Year with UW
Oct 31, 2026
Nikola, double-double for you today.
Just going into this year, how much more comfortable are you not only
with the offense, but just, you know, passing and rebounding as well?
Yeah, for sure. I feel much better on the court than last year.
So, but like, doesn't matter. Like, we didn't win the game.
So, like, my stats or Leighton's stats, it really doesn't matter.
Like, the only important thing is to win the games.
Yeah.
So.
I know your team's changed from year to year.
You don't have Kepnang or don't have Steinbeck this year.
Seems like you guys are a lot smaller in a sense.
Yeah.
I think you had almost a four-guard
lineup to go with you to start with.
Yeah.
If you consider LeBron a guard at times, which he is.
But what kind of problems does that present with you as a smaller team?
I mean.
Problems I guess you'd say probably rebounding that's just
the main our main focus we have to rebound more
so as a team we don't have just set guys that can just go get it done
by their self every night like Hannes for example so we just got
to gang rebound that's what I like to call it gang rebound.
