All the visitors Sunday

[djct1999]

With Kobe’s daughter likely coming here and Kobe’s involvement in her game, there will be multiple opportunities for Cam to meet Kobe and his entire family.

Kobe did look good in UConn gear. Just think, if we were Rutgers, we would be putting a picture of Kobe sitting courtside up in our practice facility.

Since CBSSN probably isn't going to cover the Ray Allen ceremony like SNY did for Lobo, will there be a live feed or any other way to watch it?

Bet Ray stops by the booth.

Sorry if this a dumb question, but how old is Kobe's daughter and is have actually good enough to play for UConn?

Too soon to tell. She’s only 12

Need to get this up in the Husky museum. Kobe didn't go to college, so this might as well do.

Tbh it wasn’t good. But a win is a win

We're you there? What was it like? It sounded pretty good on TV

I'm not against putting Kobe up there in a UCONN shirt. Whatever works.

It wasn’t good until 5 minutes left in the game

Yeah I was in 222 it sounded largely dead. Besides the last few minutes something is wrong with the sound system, it sounds so muffled.

They still play 90's arena music.

 

[Husk04ies]

I feel like the XL crowds have been better recently then the gampel crowds....my section was a graveyard

 

[Walker11]

The announcers repeatedly talked about how amazing the atmosphere was. It seems like they have been calling too many low major games...

Announcers are generally fungible but those two guys are not good.

Been getting that all year on CBS Sports network, announcers raving about mediocre atmospheres. I think it was the game at USF game that one of the announcers said it was the loudest crowd he's heard in years

I thought the atmosphere was fine

Compared to what? A practice? Sure.

"Free throws are a very difficult skill"

Still scratching my head over that call.

Well, it's the AAC. They've gotta pump the product. Maybe these guys just came from doing high school.

Their positive comments and the unbelievably supportive remarks by Ray should have made a great impression on anyone (like the recruits) that were in the building as well as those watching on TV.

Ray made it about UConn and not a focus on him as so often happens with other players in such ceremonies. Showed just how thoughtful a man he is about what the school meant for him and it was great he mentioned Donyell, Donny and Kevin.

Hurley could not have wished for a more positive endorsement about UConn and what it meant to Ray's life (and by extension those of all UConn players) than that provided by Ray. And it wasn't just a passing reference, it was repeated several times. Yes!!!

 

[AllAbout5]

Compared to what? A practice? Sure.

I mean I’ve 100% heard much louder but it wasn’t the worst. If you were in the 100s sections it was clear there was at least some energy. Student Section was disappointing though.

 

[Scrutineer]

Were you there? Was it not a good atmosphere? We were all hoping Gampel would be electric because of Ray and the recruits would feel it and want to commit on the spot............or very soon!

She could grow substantially based on the size of her hands and length of her fingers for a 12 year old. Might grow into that 6'5" center/forward we desperately need.
