First Night Stream

This is so lame. It’s amazing how every year this event gets worse.

That dunk contest was so disorganized. A 5 minute running clock for the entire team and no judges?

The is the first first night I haven’t gone to since maybe 2011. It’s not a good event anymore.

Maybe It will be fun when they are good again.

 

[Dooooooomed]

Those fan halfcourt shots tho... I think the UConn admin picked them on purpose so they knew it wouldn't cost them $10K.

Nah. Even if they are good this would be the garbage they roll out.

They think this is what the fans want.

IMO they gotta stop combining the two events. The novelty of MBB/WBB in one night has kinda worn off.

All you need is the following:

• Player intros.
• Three point contest.
• Dunk contest.
• Scrimmage between the current team and non-NBA former players.

They should sell beer too.

Yeah having both the same night doesn't really work. Both teams deserve their own night.

I like to just see a full scrimmage. Have fans vote on the lineups.

I was wondering where Jalen Gaffney was... he woulda been a sleeper in the dunk comp. he’s been busy during practice tho #beefcake

Gaffney and Akok are sidelined with injuries. Not ideal to say the least.

It’s amazing how bad this event is. UConn would be better off saving the money.

Another post/handle FAIL for you. Wow.

Those beautiful Patoni tiles.

 

[Kenny11]

He’s the worst. Waste of UConn’s money.

The guy that does the yardgoats games too? Extremely annoying but I don’t even know if he gets paid

He doesn't do it for free but I'm sure it isn't much. I just don't think they need anyone to be an in game host.

it only matters during gametime... I honestly don’t care all that much about first night.

I’m with @Chief00 he and I are only going if Gampel starts selling Beer.

He is the cringiest host ever

It's so forced

 

[MattMang23]

Is it over yet?

 

[Deepster]

Does anyone have a good first night at this point? I feel like this whole concept is sorta played out.

 

[Castlevania]

guys... its mostly for the kids... let them have fun and dance, and celebrate the culture of basketball and everything that comes along with it. everyone on here talking negative about it is a sour grape, get over yourself. lmfao

they need to update their sound system and place will be bumping

Is J-BeeF there? Is he having a good time? How tall does he look? With shoes? Strong? Muscular? What’s his shoulder height?
