Respect! I'll be rooting for Iowa.

I loved both of these players with UCONN. If I recall correctly, they were roommates and best friends. Funny how life works out sometimes.

LOL! Reminiscent of a scene from Spinal Tap......

I posted after the Mercury lost to the Sky that Kia's absence in the Finals might have affected the outcome due to her defensive prowess. There was some pushback from at least one BY'er who cited "points against" totals in games leading up to the Finals as evidence that the Mercury defense was...

I know there's a lot of rock and rollers on the BY. Mr. West was definitely one of my influences although I could never get his tone out of any of my guitars. He'll be missed but his music lives on.

This article helps explain in detail the philosophy and strategy behind the picks Hopkins and Kolb made, many of which left certain BY'ers scratching their heads: https://highposthoops.com/2020/04/19/new-york-lands-every-single-target-6-pick-draft/

Kia hits the go-ahead three pointer with 21 seconds left to seal the victory and bring home the WNBL championship to the UC Capitals for the second year in a row. https://twitter.com/UCCapitals?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

Just delivered as eloquent a speech as he has ever given, at Kobe and Gianna's memorial service. Diana and Sabrina spoke as well. Beautiful.

https://www.swishappeal.com/wnba/2019/10/16/20917562/wnba-new-york-liberty-katie-smith-out-as-head-coach Nothing against Katie Smith but I did wonder why, as the season came to a close, Kia Nurse and Marine Johannes were sometimes seen riding the bench in the closing minutes of a close game...

Last night's game between The Liberty and The Wings was entertaining on a number of different levels. For one thing, Arike finally missed a "buzzer-beater" and The Liberty secured a hard fought victory. But even the commentators couldn't help notice the physical play going on between Kia and...

I'm wondering what the point of following The Liberty (some other WNBA teams as well) is when four of its players, two of whom are very key to its success (Amanda Zahui B and Bria Hartley) are now playing overseas. Kia Stokes and Marine Johannes have yet to see NYC. Johannes is interesting since...

...growing the game of basketball in Canada. Fresh on the heels of a very successful Kia Nurse Elite AAU Program, this: http://basketball.ca/en/news-article/nba-and-canada-basketball-announce-formation-of-jr-nba-canadian

I've been a fan of Kia's since she first put on a UCONN uniform. A number of us (maybe many) on the BY always saw something special in her, while others tended to focus on her weaknesses as a college player while lauding others who were more offense-minded. Still, it's interesting that she and...

unbelievable college careers for @PHEEsespieces and @33katielou they work like no other & played their hearts out every minute of every game. Incredible players and even better people! Can’t wait to see what they do at the next level #bleedblue

Kia is apparently taking to her job as an analyst like a fish to water, which should be no surprise. In this audio she talks about what it takes to win and advance in the NCAA tournament. Interestingly, it seems she is working the men's side. She does mention Geno's prep (offensive rebounds)...

UC Capitals back in WNBL grand final

My daughter and I were trying to figure this out. We know why it hung in Gampel the last four years, (maybe the XL Center, too) but we can't figure out why it hangs in the XL Center now. Gampel too maybe?

Kia had 31 points in the UC Capital's victory over Perth Lynx in a semi-final match yesterday (this morning ). But this is hysterical!

Rookie Diary: The Journey by Kia Nurse - New York Liberty

Lots of video on the NY Liberty twitter site of Kia and her teammates. Kia actually hosted Media Day for the Liberty. No real surprise there. She's already brought her big personality to New York. She's the lone rookie on the team. It will be interesting to see how she fares going forward but it...
