ESPN Gameday coming for the Nova game

[BugsyCT]

They gave them an in saying “Providence” and hardly a boo. They gave them an in with “Rip and JC” hardly a cheer. So far weak effort!

0-3 on College Gameday games?

Sounds like they turned down the fan noise mics since the beginning of the show? (they were louder at start) Rip just sank a midcourt 3 and you could hardly hear the crowd.

Way to show up the Dukie, Rip.

 

[mauconnfan]

Rip is still clutch as hell. Right in the face of a Dukie, or 2!

 

[huskymedic]

Rip with the swish from half court.

 

[superjohn]

This is awesome, Calhoun and Rip look great.

 

[jake14mw]

I hope fans are watching this. It's fantastic. Giving me goose bumps.

 

[superjohn]

No mention of Shabazz.

 

[Deepster]

I always tell my daughter “every time Rip shot, I thought it was going in”. She’s there at Gameday and just watched him sink a half court shot. See, kid? Your Dad is always right.

 

[lonsharkin51]

How freaking awesome was that half-court shot in J-Will's face?

 

[jake14mw]

PLEASE don't expand the tournament to 96 teams! Keep making the tournament something special. Currently, the last four teams in have no shot of winning. Adding more teams is just a money grab that will make the tourney worse.

 

[Devland]

Jay Williams was telling him before the shot "just hit the rim" . He didn't hit the rim. Lol

 

[mauconnfan]

These kids just don’t get it. Not a strong enough or loud enough reaction with JC and Rip. We are talking about 2 of the absolute most important pieces to UConn basketball and they were too quiet.

 

[Hunt for 7]

No mention of Shabazz.

He has to be on the list. No shade on any of the picks but what Bazz did with the supporting cast was legendary. The top five list was basically those who went on to nba success. And really the program is just to good to pick a five players all time list without someone or several players being snubbed. Donyell and Ray were great but we never got to a final four or won an ncaa championship with them playing. In fact Donyell with those missed free throws may have cost us our first trip. But his talent was immense. The condor he was Connie Hawkins #2. Not even sure why they would have a segment like that….just ESPN filling time.

Like I said, I think they adjusted the mics to drown out the crowd noise so the hosts can be heard better. They were much louder at the beginning of the broadcast.

To be fair. Current students weren't even born in 1999.

If Shabazz is in the list, who are you taking off? Ray and Donyell were pillars to the foundation of what UConn became.

Current students probably don't even remember the Calhoun era at all. They would have been like 6-8 years old when he retired lol

I agree. When they just rained boos on the Duke mention the volume increased.

The production staff is playing games with this.

Yell has to go. Bazz was incredible.

 

[Deepster]

This is a national two hour recruiting advertisement. Everything looks amazing. Fans, JC, Rip with the shot, the ice cream bit. All the history. This is awesome. UConn by a million tonight.

 

[mauconnfan]

Yell may have actually been the best Husky ever you can’t take him off he was incredible as was Bazz. That was a solid top 5 and the guys knocking on the door such as Bazz, Caron, Ben are certainly in any argument,

IMHO, Bazz belongs. Being top 5 of the program must be representative. He earned this distinction because he got us 2 nattys, especially during that dark era. The arguments for being pioneer and foundation of this program is valid, but Ray is enough to represent.

DH is nuts. We are so lucky he’s ours.
