ESPN Gameday coming for the Nova game

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

They do it all the time for football, Michigan OSU comes to mind, hell there have been times when big noon kickoff and gameday have both been at the same location.

So UConn-Nova hoops is on the same plane as UM-OSU football? Agreed

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.

Has ESPN ever held a GameDay at a site where the game was telecast on another network before today?

 

[Chin Diesel]

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.

Eh.

All five were first team AA.
Rip, Okafor and Kemba were all MOP, Ray is a given and Donyell was dominant.

Bazz over Donyell is probably the best argument and I wouldn't argue over that.

Give me that starting five with Bazz and Caronimo off the bench and that's a helluva 7-man rotation.

Yes

For the record. Got the Youtube TV trial just to watch this show and broke my ESPN boycott.

I don't watch ESPN... EVER! But I made an exception today. This has been so worth it

I have my 22 month granddaughter watching this with me today so no I’m not there. But they aren’t very boisterous and I have no problem saying that. Have fun!!!

 

[mike012]

That was basically a 2 hour advertisement from ESPN on why UConn is great.

 

[Chin Diesel]

The mojo is strong.

The Alpha and the Omega. Rip and Akshay!!

 

[Hunt for 7]

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

Like I said it is impossible to make a five person list with all the greatness this program has seen.

[CL82]

How far down the list was PC from getting Gameday? 150th? 180th?

(I hope Sanon is watching….)

I think you're being a little harsh there Deep. I'm sure Providence had as good a chance as anyone.

Best coach in the country.. by far!!!..lucky to have him

 

[Devland]

Are the Fox trucks hiding around the corner waiting for the ESPN trucks to pull out?

 

[mike012]

another entertaining thought. How annoyed Syracuse fans are watching UConn college game day before their game. When ESPN owns there rights and doesn’t own any of ours.

 

[Waquoit]

Yell may have actually been the best Husky ever you can’t take him off he was incredible as was Bazz.

I sure as hell can take off the guy who didn't get it done in favor of the guy who did.

 

[UConnRock]

He lists Sanogo, Hawkins, AJ and…….Whaley when he gets fired up. Whaley certainly made an impression on him.

 

[king conn]

Listen, you guys have a great team. It’s a loser lament to get into an argument with you regarding it. Good job by you changing the subject. But it doesn’t change the fact that your fans went crazy when a little school you supposedly don’t care about was mentioned briefly on your biggest day. Now everyone in the country watching this knob job of a suckfest knows that you are FOS.

That knob job of a suckfest just gave you your lone mention on a national level. You should be grateful.

 

[king conn]

Horrible week.

In line for a 1 seed.
In line to win the BE regular season.
ESPN Gameday in the house. They just discussed “UConn or the field for the title?”
Rip Hamilton number getting retired tonight.

Any one of those items is the best thing to happen to your school in a decade. And it’s a bad week for us. LOL

Decade?

How about decades or never ?

what a return to gameday. rip made a half court shot on his first try. hurley dropped an F bomb. and then a student made a half court shot at the buzzer. couldnt have asked for a better showcase.
