Hoopfeed: Defense and balance highlight top-seeded UConn’s preseason debut (Kia Nurse Video)

[DishNSwish]

While one has to consider that West Chester is a Division II opponent with no player over 6-0, the trademark defensive intensity of the Huskies was in full display, holding their opponent to 26 points, hauling down 41 defensive rebounds, and causing 24 turnovers. UConn had 18 steals, twice the number of made baskets (nine) that West Chester sank en route to a 9-for-57 performance.

How impressive a young woman is Kia? The Husky tradition is in good hands.
On D, the UConn deal has always been, win on D and let the O set the margin. When you consider how dominant UConn was on D last year, it's hard to imagine anything better. But it's possible.

Kia Nurse is an articulate, personable young woman who interviews and plays like a 22-year-old. I like her already. Her 4 years will be really good.

Kia will be a star on and off the court. UCONN continues to recruit young women who represent the university magnificently; athletic, articulate, and personable. The best America has to offer!
