Court Storming

[jkfer98]

This is such an echo chamber debate. Like, nobody else around the country gives a shit or thinks less of us because the students stormed the court last night lol.

I’m glad the “let the kids storm after a brutal basketball and pandemic stretch” side is thoroughly outweighing the “we’re uconn we never stormed when I went” side in this thread. I was worried when I clicked it. These students deserve it, let them enjoy it.

Hell, when I was there we burned the damned furniture after a big win!

The students haven't been there though.

These are the same kids who had to be attendance-shamed not more than two weeks ago just to show up. They provided an true homecourt advantage 25 miles from campus. Storming the court was the reward for conquering such a steep learning curve.

Good for them.

We did too, but in fairness that was just before midnight, March 29, 1999.

It's probably the biggest win in years (post-2014 NC, post-old BE destruction and left in sports purgatory, 2 years of COVID, still fighting to get a taste of the level we had during the Calhoun years, etc.)

"Act like you've been there before?" We older fans have many times. But these students? Nope. So have at it, kids, and celebrate.

100%.

They all must have read my posts earlier about how miserable the student sections have been over the last 5-6 years.

I wasn't crazy about it when it happened, but the kids did seem to enjoy it plus what this program has gone through it deserves the court rush celebration

My first reaction sitting there in the XL was what the hell but I don't have a big issue with the students rushing the court at all. I think how the game was won played a huge part in the celebration. These kids probably didn't have a normal senior HS year and are still living the crazy pandemic life. UConn hasn't won anything big since 2014 when these kids were worrying/thinking about anything but UConn basketball.
Plus it made it less crowded getting out and to my car!

Now, if you rushed down the stairs and hopped over the scorer's table, I may have a problem with it.

Kids today celebrate anything, it was a good win, but act like ya been there, it's all good

Haha anytime you start with “kids today…” maybe you want to take a moment
