6-5 NIU Center, Tallest on 2006-07 Roster, Historic Huskie Height
Tiffany Kline, the 6-5 center for Northern Illinois, stands as the tallest player on the 2006-07 roster and one of only three 6-5 women in NIU history, making her a rare physical presence in the paint. While her on-court stats are from the 2006-07 season, her differentiator is her historic height and role as a defensive anchor who commanded the interior with intensity. She is no longer an active college athlete—she now works as a Sr Client Accountant II at Cushman & Wakefield in Minneapolis—so she is not a fit for a current team. However, for fans of NIU basketball history, she represents a legacy of dominant size and a player who set a benchmark for Huskie centers. Her story answers why you should care: she’s a piece of NIU’s athletic heritage, not a current prospect.
