Kia Nurse WBCA NDPOY

SVCBeercats said:
Gabby and Kia were not NDPOY when Moriah was on the team. Technically Kia and Gabby are the only two to have receive the award and on the team. Moriah was NDPOY bit Gabby and Kia were NDPOY to be at the time.

To be even more technical and split the hairs even finer (if you want).... The NDPOY is a regular season award so Gabby and Kia would not qualify either.

If by another team you mean besides UCONN, the answer is no. Keep in mind that this WBCA award has only been around since 2007.

Even UConn. My question is, has UConn ever had 2 players who both received the NDPOY while they were still playing together, as opposed to after one had already graduated?

However the question was were they on the same team with no stipulation as to regular or post season. Gabby and Kia are indubitably on the same team having both received the NDPOY award.

Sometime today. See below quote from this article: WBCA ANNOUNCES ALL-REGION NOMINEES FOR 2018 NCAA DIVISION I COACHES’ ALL-AMERICA

"The 2018 WBCA NCAA Division I Coaches’ All-America team will be announced Thursday, March 29, during the WBCA Convention in Columbus, Ohio."

Found the convention schedule. The WBCA All-American team announcement is at 5:30.

Yes!
WBCA DPOY has never been excluded from WBCA AA team.
Kia on Huskies Wall of Honor!

As predicted by me.

The names of all who climbed on to Kia's bandwagon would fill a wall themselves @CocoHusky , but you were steadfast and I'm delighted, very, very delighted to dub you the fearless leader. This news is magnificent. Congrats Kia, so deserving.

Not to doubt your accuracy Coco, but are you absolutely certain that no NDPOY has ever been left off the WBCA 1st team?

We will find out soon enough. I sure hope she's an AA. She deserves it, but we UCONN fans are blessed to see her play every day. Her modest offensive numbers compared to others out there may tip the scale in their favor... Of course, not only is she the DPOY, but also one of the most elite 3-point shooters in the nation. She's on my AA team for sure!!

You are correct! A kill joy and wet blanket but still correct.
Jennifer Rispert of Vandy won WBCA DPOY in 2009 and was not on the WBCA AA team.

Well, I don't care how many hairs get split or how many technicalities are cited, I'm just so happy for Kia, that every post on this thread gets like. :):):)

Well that's one way of looking at it but I have some rose colored glasses on and to me we have had 2 NDPsOY for 2 seasons.
Gabby was the 2016-2017 NDPOY and Kia is the 2017-2018 NDPOY, so from 2016-2018 we have had 2 on the same team. :D
Expand ...
Those are obviously not rose colored glasses. They are clearly American flag blue. :eek:. Nothing wrong with having them, the real problem is that by never taking them off, things become skewed.

Great news for 2 reasons.
1. She is recognized nationally for her ability to play defense, the BEST in the country!!!
2. I'm assuming that being recognized as NDPOY means she is automatically included in the 10 member group of AA, and thus becomes eligible for admittance into the prestigious "Huskies of Honor", and have her #11 jersey mounted on the wall in Gampel along with the other UConn greats that preceded her. Am I right or wrong in making this assumption? :eek:
Expand ...
I don't think it's automatic, even if it should be. We all hope so and are rooting for it, but regardless this is a tremendous award and one very well deserved.
Ironic how U Conn has had two consecutive DPOY and not the same person. Also have two first team AA and one is different. Shows the truly amazing talent, depth they have.

I was very impressed with this photo and what it represents. Then I had a thought..Kia is one BAD-ASS!!!! She's been a BA over the course of the entire year. A player that Geno could depend on to shut down an opposing team's best non-post player on defense, while exuding a calming effect to her teammates on offense. This is a much deserved award for Kia, a rare 4 year starter at UConn. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If you're an opposing player, Kia Nurse is the last player you want guarding you. :cool:
Expand ...
Kia's been a BA since she first stepped on the court 4 years ago.

There's a saying I heard years ago. "I don't take any crap. I don't give a crap. I'm not in the crap business."

Kia sure doesn't take any crap and she sure isn't in the crap business. As Meatloaf crooned, "Two out of three ain't bad."

Well said RU!!! :):p:D
 
¡Enhorabuena Kia! Congrats to my favorite Husky. I hope she has a fine WNBA career, the returns to coach the team.
