Tiana was signed to play in NZ but had to withdraw due to her health, that wasn't that long ago!

I wonder if her Celebration of Life ceremony was recorded and is available for playback.

They should really dedicate both Men's and Women's seasons to Tiana and Poetry.
Adored both of them as I'm sure many here have.

My daughter came home from college the other day and the first thing she asked me is about getting tickets to SU Women’s hoops while she’s home. Then the conversation went to the games we saw with Tiana pre-cancer. Those games are really stitched in her memory. We used to go to a lot of games when she was younger. Tiana was like watching perfection in a basketball uniform. By far the most exciting SU women’s player I’ve seen in person, and that is no disrespect to D Fair. Tiana was just THAT good.
