No Love for Kia Nurse?

[Bajan Best]

Kia goes 80% from the field , 6 for 7 from 3 pt, perfect from the line, but not hearing any mention in post coverage.. I didn't watch the game yet , will have to see why that is when I do.

Of course there's love from me as she played really well today. Seems like that ankle/foot injury is behind her. Good for her and great for Connecticut.

You could see she really wanted the ball today.

Kia got plenty of love from her teammates in post-game interviews. Clearly they are better with her leadership on the floor and they know it. They call her and Gabby the team "Moms" - they look to both, but particularly Kia, when the hits the fan.

CGA, glancing at the box, might say "No rebounds and No steals" ;-)

I thought that Geno's sarcastic comments about her in the postgame press conference constituted the appreciation that you are looking for, delivered in the way that is most characteristic of Geno.

Geno was very complimentary in the presser. 5 threes for criminey sakes. He said she is essential to effective guard defense too.

Kia had a really good game. She is the three-point shooter no one thinks about having to cover, and when she hits 'em, you can see the opponents' shoulders drop.

I suspect her game wasn't the highlight reel that the media likes to headline... Gabby and Phessa are the headliners...

Love Kia but she seems to be lost in the shadow of Gabby, KLS, and Pheesa or any combination of those three. She scored 24 points and barely got a mention by the ESPN "talking heads". Whatever, she lacks the size and athleticism of

You are right. Her 24 points (8/10 and team high with Pheesa) didn't even get a mention from the ESPN "talking heads" as her performance was overshadowed by that of Gabby and Pheesa. This is the media world we live in today. KLS, the darling of the USF game, had a very good game today but you wouldn't even know she played. Anyway, love Kia as I'm sure many BY'ers do.

That's Okay let's hope the remaining opponents also pay little attention to her as the tourney progresses...
