Kiah in fiya!

[EricLA]

Leads all scorers with 12 points at halftime and has 3 boards to boot. Oh, and she only played 9 minutes! Think it's time to up that, Coach Laimbeer!

Sugar Rogers has been playing great the last 2 games as well (or I should at least say she's scoring tons). She has 9 points at half time. Tina doing her usual thing with 8 points and 6 boards!

Great half for Kiah, lets see her get 20 and really boost her confidence.

 

[Kaizen]

Kiah is the leading scorer for NY at the half. Go Kiah ...

 

[Zorro]

Actually, Tina had 14. Kiah is 6/7.

 

[Nuyoika]

Liking this game right now.

 

[iri10]

Tina has 7 assists, 3 of them to Kiah, to go along with 12 points and 7 rebounds. Wowzers!

Uconn alum are showing stuff. Back to back games, no problem. Fever are good but lacking in Huskies.

I like it! LOL "...good but lacking in Huskies."

Kiah with 20; doing her other stuff as well.
Rookie of the Year

Kiah with 21 points leading all scorers half way through the 4th. Dang... I loved her at UCONN... but wish she had some of that offense when she was here...

Coaching...

Seriously, though, for whatever reason, Geno and the staff was never able to get that kind of production out of her. Maybe it was a rut, maybe she wasn't pushed the right way, maybe it was a million other things.

But she's averaging about 6 PPG and 6.5 RPG. She only averaged 4.1 PPG over her career at UCONN and it was only 4.5 in her senior season, and she was playing 18 minutes per game.

Granted in the W she's averaging 25 MPG so maybe the numbers work out similarly. Maybe there's not that much of a difference, but she sure never scored 20+ games at UCONN...

Carolyn Peck really high on Kiah.

It's amazing to think how good Morgan and Breanna will be in the WNBA, because I think Kiah was rightfully behind them in the lineup at UConn. They are going to be beasts.

 

[msf22b]

She's showing a slightly new look
A tince more intense
What a sweetheart
Imagine if Tina teaches her to be an assassin

 

[delawarehusky]

never thought I would see K putting up more points than Tina. go for 30 kiah!!!

 

[j66kicker]

Tina (18) and Piph (17) have sat down for the night. Kiah (21) part of the mop-up crew. Blowout - not as close as the current margin indicates: 82-67, 1 minute left

 

[delawarehusky]

she gave good interviews too Spike should show her alot of love

Defenders are all over Tina, Epiphanny Prince, and Sugar Rogers which leave Kiah pretty much unguarded. Tina had 7 assists because defenders were all over her and Kiah benefitted. Good for Kiah for good positioning and for making the shot.

Spike shows EPip love cause they're from the same neightborhood... #FortGreene #Brooklyn

Tina gave Stokes all the love she needs... Rookie Of The Year #photobomb

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Got just one thing to say .......didn't say I'd say it only once! Kiah I love you!

Assassin? She has become a genuine badass - that will do for now, and with less messy bloodshed.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Tina has 18 points, 7 boards, and 9 assists in her impersonation of Magic Johnson.

Kiah had a career-high 21 points in 26 minutes. I love players who get career highs during the post-season.

 

[HuskyPup]

Let there be light!
Way to go Kiah!
