You’ll have to excuse UConn Huskies women’s basketball guard Kia Nurse if she can’t make plans with anyone next summer. She’ll be just a little bit busy playing in the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio.
Nurse was a huge reason why Canada beat UConn Huskies teammates Breanna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson and the USA Basketball team in the Pan Am Games finals. She was an even bigger reason why Canada earned a berth in the Olympics.
The UConn Huskies sophomore sensation had 20 points in the finals of the FIBA Americas Tournament to lead Canada over Cuba to clinch the berth. And oh by the way, she was named MVP of the tournament as well.
Watch and/or listen below as Nurse talks about what it means to her leading her country to an Olympic berth.

When you looked at the rosters of the Canada and United States Pan-Am Games rosters this past summer, you couldn’t help but notice there were three UConn Huskies women’s basketball players on there.
Two of them were on the USA roster in Breanna Stewart and Moriah Jefferson. The Canadians featured the other, Kia Nurse.
The trio met up in the finals which eventually saw Nurse getting the better of her UConn Huskies teammates by scoring 33 points to lead Canada to its first ever Pan-Am Games medal in women’s basketball, this one being gold.
Watch and/or listen below as Nurse, Stewart and Jefferson talk about the “bittersweet” feelings of facing a teammate during a recent media availability with the team.

Everyone who follows women’s college basketball knows that UConn Huskies women’s basketball star Breanna Stewart will be the first pick in the 2016 WNBA Draft.
The crazy part is that she hasn’t even started playing yet this season. And as we know, she’ll be in front of the television watching the WNBA Draft Lottery where she’ll find out her employer.
She’ll either be in Seattle with former Huskies Sue Bird and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, San Antonio, down the road at Mohegan Sun or in Atlanta with former Husky Tiffany Hayes.
When she and her UConn Huskies teammates met with the media earlier this week, it didn’t seem to matter where Stewart would end up.
