I am glad to see Canada doing so well.  As most have pointed out, it's not likely they are one of the top 4 teams in the world but they certainly are trending in the right direction.  Kia Nurse is not only a gutsy player, but she's smart, has ice water in her veins, has an intensity that few can match, and is a great leader.  I am SO glad she chose UCONN.  While I wish she would average 10-12 PPG and 5-6 APG, it's doubtful that on a team filled with scorers extraordinaire that she will be "needed".

Having said that, she had among the best, if not the best, 3 point % on the team last year, and it would be a mistake IMHO for her to NOT look for her shot when open.  I hope she does not simply defer to the "better" scorers on the team.  That's not what a leader does anyway.  I hope the international experience has helped her this summer and that she comes to UCONN for her last year ready to help lead her team to a NC AND push for AA votes for her personally.
