If she could only be a bit more consistent on offense, she'd be a real force.

too many offensive weapons... no serious need, even tho it would be nice. Long as she get offensive put backs and completes the drop-off pass from a penetrating guard

Did I note a bit of fire in her eyes?

I think we are under estimating her. She can hit the foul line jumper, so all she needs is a few more post moves.

Was at the game with my family. Kiah looked really good when she was in, but the entire team looked really good. All the things that individual players need to do to be successful they did well.

The one thing i noticed is that when UCONN was up by about 40, Geno left Moriah, Bria, Morgan, Breana and Kiah in the game (i think it was those 5). I think Depaul went on a 15-0 run or something like that to cut the lead to about 25 or so. Geno was content to sit on the bench and watch. I think he was waiting for the players to figure it out, but they never did and he subbed back KML, Kelly and Stef back in, and order was restored.

But overall, Kiah looked good for what she needed to do. and he went to her often and early in each half...

Kiah is one of the players I really root for (just like B Banks). Yes, she did some nice things, especially with her feet and positioning. I think she will get better at rebounding if she can reduce the number of times she swats the ball instead of trying to grab it for a rebound. My guess is that she or Morgan is going to have to have at least one special game if the Huskies are going to go all the way.

Nah - the more offensive weapons, the tougher it is for the opposing coach to figure out a counterstrategy.
