Students better show. At least it's on TV for once.

you know damn well they will. They're hungry for a GOOD team. Not football.

This is fantastic. Is there anything more casual than watching First Night on tv? I'll be viewing for sure

I better not post in this thread. Don't want to get caught casually being interested in this.

I’m glad we finally got the games far enough behind us that we can enjoy basketball at its best and most competitive. First night baby!

A branding and marketing event for UConn BB and a fun event for prospective recruits and our freshman.

And a preview for the fans of things to come.

Because the live event is limited this year to students only, we'll be gathering for pizza at @Stinger92860 's, right?

I’m down. I’ll bring my kid’s fisher price hoop. I like to reenact all of the dunks from the dunk contest.

It won’t work this way, but if one literally follows the mandate “UConn Students Only”, how can recruits attend? The reason given, is safety (just as not playing football last season was about Covid “safety” not Randy collecting another year of pay). So why are we putting “safety” at risk by inviting recruits? Chief is glad that we are inviting recruits, but let’s stop the BS. If not playing football was about “safety”, that effort was a failure since about 30 players tested positive last season. If not inviting the “Casual Fan” to First Night is about safety, why can we charge the “Casual Fan” thousands to attend games starting a several weeks later? What happened to safety?
All Chief is saying is it’s about money not safety; if we charged for First Night the Casual Fan would have been invited.
So no more safety lectures from UConn, please. Please let the Casual Fan enjoy the biggest night of their year per various posts here.
Ironically, I wonder if by not inviting the beloved Casual Fan, is UConn actually making money from channel 20, who is televising it live?
