OT: Count down to 1st game

[ClifSpliffy]

since my alltime fav guys number doesn't allow me to play, ever (#00), im doubling up on the jerome luv (still playing in 2021, the man has more international hardware than home depot).

this was a great game:
'couldn't make the Greater Hartford Pro-Am championship game Thursday night, but apparently I missed a good one as Recycle King Boyz came back for a 139-137 win over Harte Nissan to claim the title.
Jerome Dyson poured in 55 points to go with 12 rebounds to lead the way, while SMU-bound Danny Lawhorn added 32 and Doug Wiggins tossed in 22.'

u know who buckets like 55 in a game of high comp? almost no one. ever.

I was just referring to Kirk having worn 13.

Pic or it ain't so...

So not true. When game day rolls around, you better post a pic of the pride of Buffalo!

Always liked his work ethic.

The next few days are going to challenging. We will have to be creative.

#12 has a an interesting starting 5.

AJ Price
Taliek Brown
Tyler Polley
Kentan Facey
Andre Drummond

Verne Giscombe off the bench.

Having Taliek run the point and freeing AJ up to be a more natural scorer and secondary distributor. Put Polley on the wing and corner to catch and shoot off the penetration and Facey and Drummond to clean up the boards.

That would be a decent defensive team too with Facey and Drummond being able to help out with Polley's defensive limitations.

He had the largest hands I have ever seen. His brother was my High School vice principal.

It’s also a clever way to pay homage to a few more great huskies

Do some simple arithmetic on the numbers…

Not a big fan of this addition stuff. I enjoy the creativity, but I don't like the ambiguity. It is not objectively clear that the numbers are to be added. At least add some operators!

Best Players to Wear Each Number in UConn MBB History: 0-15

Naming the best player to wear each jersey number in UConn men’s basketball history. We’ll divvy it up over the next three weeks, starting with numbers 0 through 15.

www.audacy.com

No.s 6-9 kinda sketchy.
Nos. 6-9: Five men’s players wore numbers 6-through-9 in the 1940s. The most notable of those was No. 9 Walt Dropo. The first true star at UConn, you probably know him better as the former American League Rookie of the Year with the Red Sox. In Storrs, the Moose from Moosup left as the all-time leading scorer in basketball, averaging 20.7 points a game in three years by scoring 848 points in just 41 games.

The dearth of available photos doesn't preclude the use of a plus sign!

Anyone know why those numbers are rarely or never used at UConn?

tl;dr: Because a human hand has five fingers.

Crunching the Numbers: College Basketball Players Can’t Wear 6, 7, 8 or 9 (Published 2015)

A longstanding N.C.A.A. edict, rooted in maintaining clarity in referees’ hand signals to the scorer’s table, prohibits players from wearing certain numerals.
