Championship 2016: G A M E T H R E A D... Go Huskies!

[HoopsFan21]

I think it is the pre-game show. The game will start 8:30 pm ET.
Very rare that ESPN gave one hour for the pre-game show.

Actually I think it's pretty typical for the last game of the year. IIRC for the Louisville title game in 2013 it was two hours long. That one they really had to drag out.

 

[Blue Huskie]

GO HUSKIES!

If the TV network can sell it, they run it. So, maybe it's a good sign. There is audience and interest. Hence, ratings and exposure occur.

Geno sounds pretty subdued during that interview with Holly Rowe

 

[JordyG]

I dont post here too often. Im from the mens board. I just want to say, Go Huskies!! and lets make history. Lets show the country why this is the basketball capitol of the world. Good luck!

Of the world. And Hillsman is about to find out why it's better to play UConn once during the season.

 

[JellyBean]

UConn Huskies!!! Let's go!!!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Pre-game over... it's game time!!!

 

[Kaizen]

Let go.....UConn

 

[GoUconn7961]

Let's slice some oranges and make some juice ladies!! Bring. It. On!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Come on Gabulous One... we need you tonight.

 

[ballhawk]

I don't know about the Huskies but I've got butterflies. Let's blow them out.

 

[EricLA]

I don't get nervous much till right before the game. Then I get really antsy. I generally pace around watching the game. I run circles around my coffee table LOL...

 

[BugsyCT]

You've got plenty of support from the men's board, and the fact that the opponent is Syracuse makes it all the more meaningful for us to see UConn win NC #11 tonight. LET'S GO!!!

 

[bags27]

still no tie on the main guy!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Will they do the Canadian national anthem for Kia?

 

[sarals24]

Shouldn't we call this the "LET'S JUICE THE ORANGE" game thread?

 

[Tenspro2002]

"This is a no flop game" -- Coach Q pre-game

That's certainly refreshing after getting Notre Dame the last 3 years.

 

[bags27]

I really hate those lights and jazz in the intro. That stuff is so NBA. Let those idiots do that. Let's just have some understated class.

 

[Connecticut]

Screw Syracuse!

Should I get off your lawn now, or can I wait until the end of the game?

Meh. It's a big game and a cool experience for them, I think they should be able to do it up.

Agree. Never like when teams do that for their home games against South Central Louisiana State University during the regular season.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Tuck at the line to start the game

 

[MilfordHusky]

Let's rock! One possession at a time. UConn basketball.
