I saw rocks dunk and thought he was going to break the whole basket

If Brimah can shoot like that hes going to be a top 5 pick. Only negative--it only shows the girl making 3's and they look real good doing it. I can tell our team is a fast break waiting to happen. Its long athletic and the question for the 2014 team is can we shoot +35% from 3 land?

Amida plays with so much heart. Its so great to watch, even in a pickup game.

How often does a female player get to throw up an alley oop??? Pretty cool.

Tough to grab much from last night but there are a couple things. Lubin is gonna help us inside because he's strong and can make a layup and if he can make a foul shot all the better. Rodney is going like a train to get to the rim and he's a load for any guard to handle. Hamilton's really talented which doesn't mean he's going to be dominant out of the box, probably will struggle a bit. Wished I could have seen Cassell.

if rock can be aggressive and just bully and intimidate the other team with his size, he'll be our new Adrien

Except that's not why Adrien was so good.

adrien used his size to body and bully the other team for rebounds and putbacks... he developed a great elbow jumper and was a great leader, how can rock not develop into an adrien type player?

Maybe he can, but he'd have to improve a lot more than Adrien did. Adrien was a 16 and 12 guy per 40 minutes and shot 61% as a freshman. Lubin may have a similar body, but he's not a similar player, at least not yet.

Ray Ray is such a great ambassador for Uconn Basketball.

He seems like such a good dude.

but he didn't donate any money to the facility so he's really not a great ambassador.../s

 

[WeAreUCONN]

he did cost my Spurs a Title 2 years ago
but at least it was Ray and not someone else.

maybe someday he winds up on the coaching staff.
i doubt it but you never know.

They gotta keep the projection on the ceiling for all Games!

Oh yeah the game was good too!

Does anyone have the video they showed about both teams seasons last year? The dual video?

 

[huskyniner]

UConn absolutely knocked it out of the park with First Night. I was beyond impressed and I can't imagine how any recruit wouldn't want to be a part of this.

That's a football-board type response.

Ray hitting over AI and then doing the high pump gives me chills every time.
