Multiple players diving to the floor all over the court.

So refreshing to see. And, ready for this? Teammates rushing over to pick them up.

Was tonight perfect? Absolutely not.

Did us fans see improvement in several areas compared to the past few seasons? Absolutely.

CT has a rich naval history with subs (boats not sammiches).

Need to get something for the PA system for the call for a sub to dive to pipe over speakers when UConn players dive to the floor. Play it on jumbotron during TO's and halftime after good dives.

Like this idea. Also cool would be playing the chorus of this nirvana tune:

This, but I think it would get annoying as hell if over done.

That's it!!!

Of course it would get annoying. All good jingles are annoying.

Maybe once a game towards the end of the second half.

Get Electric Boat or whomever it is who builds the subs to sponsor it.

Do something basic like Dive of the Game, link it to a local sandwich shop and do the silly one row in a section gets a free sub.

Anything would be an improvement over the 90s jock jams playlist...

Wow it was refreshing to see. I thought Spider Hesford was out there. All the diving at the open practice wasn't for nothing. Hustle and energy all over the place.

The only player that must be banned from diving is Gilbert, I'm willing to give up the possession if he's nearest to the ball.

I got pumped with Vital dove after that ball. That wasn't a go easy, try and tie-up for a jump ball dive. It was an all out knee and elbow banger on the hardwood "give me my ball" dive.

Don't know what you're talking about. They should absolutely play that clip, in its entirety, every time someone dives for a ball.

Absolutely, he was significantly farther away from that ball than a couple of Morehead State guys and just straight-up wanted it more.

Since we were playing Moorehead State, should we use the sound for "emergency blow" instead.


(I'll see myself out.)
