Then, when they graduate, Katie Lou, Gabby and Napheesa take over their winning ways and dominate the headlines. Kia Nurse loves the winning, but could care less about the fame. Just win, win, win..! At 99-1 during her career, Nurse has done just that and has been consistent game in, game out, season after season. ;) Consider: 1. Kia scored 399 and 354 points in her freshman and sophomore seasons. This year, she is already at 305 points, just 23 games in. Her 12.6 pts per game is a career high & she recently passed 1,000 points at UConn. :D 2. Her assist totals for the first two years were 108, then 104. This season, Nurse is already at 98, with the stretch run still to come. For her career, Kia sports a healthy 2.04 assist to turnover ratio. 3. Geno has increased Kia's minutes every season, from 25.0 per game, to 28.3 and now, a team leading 32.4 every game. She slides comfortably between the point and the 2 guard, depending on who else is on the floor, giving Geno maximum flexibility. :cool: 4. Nurse is a tenacious defender with 194 career defensive rebounds and 132 career steals. At 6 feet tall, Kia is still quick enough to guard smaller guards and strong enough to switch on taller wings. 5. As a very reliable 3 point shooter, Nurse has made 53, 51 and now 47 threes from beyond the arc. This season her accuracy from three is up to 42.7%, in between KLS's 43% and Saniya's 42.1%. 6. Her hard driving style to the basket has resulted in 234 free throw attempts, of which she has made 77.4% (181-234). Her sweet pull up jumper makes her dangerous at any distance from the basket. Geno recently commented Kia has had the "the most difficult job on the team and she has handled it beautifully." That praise from the boss is better than any headline..!! :) Go Kia..!! Go Huskies..!!
