Message: [QUOTE="Twolf, post: 2557091, member: 8437"] Kia’s shooting is great, but her greatest strengths IMO, are intangibles that are even greater reasons she is an All American. There were a couple plays tonight that stood out to me that casual fans may not have thought were big deals, but end up giving UConn extra possessions. One of those was when a SC player tried to tie her up & Kia ripped the ball away like she was swatting a gnat, and another was on a loose ball with a SC big & she came away with the ball & started the break. When is the last time you remember her losing a 50-50 scramble for possession of a loose ball? She does this while playing 40 minutes if necessary while playing as a combo guard if needed, while defending like a demon. If there are tougher players in the women’s game you could count them on one hand & have several fingers left after you named them. Players who can do all the things she does are almost impossible to find in women’s basketball. [/QUOTE]
