Blue/White Night, 11/2 @7p (Updated)

[NJHoops]

Here’s your open practice. Open to all, just claim a ticket.



To get ahead of the questions, it’s not on a Saturday because they have closed scrimmages on 10/22 and 10/29.

I’ll be there!

I’ll be there!

Casuals unite!!!!

 

[Vuce]

Got mine and will be there

 

[gampelcrazies]

I'll be there

 

[bigknight3]

Got mine

If we knew this were an annual tradition we could look forward to there'd be less commentary on First Night festivities for the students.

Exactly, this is better than first night. This is a better perk for Season ticket holders but it’s open to all.

 

[Umami Zen]

DH gets to control the vibe (and content) and its more like real BB ..Not reality BB like First Night

You really think so?

 

[Chin Diesel]

This is really a perfect complement to first night.

First night is a pep rally and about a week later do an open scrimmage.

Awesome. How are the teams chosen?

Last time it looked like starters vs second team. It'll be our first glimpse at what combinations Hurley is considering.

 

[Kemba Time]

Highly recommend this if it is anything like last year’s open practice, just a really cool window into the team’s identity and how Hurley runs his program.

Saw so many things that stayed with us all season from being there like watching Tyrese being challenged to turn his toughness into leadership and Hawkins being coached up on confidence as a freshman and that was the day we learned Kimani is an absolute rockstar as an assistant.

Agreed. Went with a friend last year, got courtside seats. Just got some awesome insight into the program. Hurley came over and made some comments to us, asking if he was swearing too much.
Kimani was like a second head coach out there.

Oh, this is a good move for me; I couldn't make it before, but now I can. Thanks for posting.

This is one of the things I like about Hurley. Was also evident from the Kimani video they posted this week. He knows he's gonna get a head coaching job soon and seems to be really grooming him to be ready to take advantage

I imagine that the 2023 season will be Kimani's last one before he takes a HC gig. I don't think he'd leave after this season right before the best class in school history is about to come on campus

Anybody know if you have to claim tickets for the new date or if you can get in with tickets from the original date? TIA.

I would like to know this, too. Probably will be ok with original tix but don’t want to show up and be turned away

If you downloaded them to your virtual wallet before the date change, the new date should show up automatically in your virtual wallet on the original tickets.

The 2000 recruiting class that was ranked #1 by many would like a word with you.

Right, you are!!
