if brimah had a neck as long as thabeet he would be 7'4". He's gonna be a monster defensively once he gets comfortable.

LOL - He definitely is long with those arms & legs. I have no idea where he finds his shirts & pants!
 
Thought SN's statements about Brimah was hype. It wasn't. Great surprise. SN can take over a game any time - man among kids. NG is lethal and DD has improved. Wow!! I know just a scrimmage but some things stick out.

And in the batters box for next season #44.

Wish I could like this post twice.

It reminds me of Marathon Oil in 1998.

someone needs to post a gif of napier going to work on jefferson. that was nasty!
 
That interaction was hilarious.

I also loved Bria throwing the alley oop. She got a little excited.. :D

Did you notice Jefferson try to give it back to Napier immediately afterwards? That was funny, good thing she passed after her fancy dribbling! I noticed the smile on both their faces!

She did a pretty good job of it. She's quick as hell; she's gonna have the ball on a string this season.
 
Scrimmage was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Hope they do it again next year. I think they just need to add something in the middle (maybe the all-star weekend shooting stars competition I alluded to earlier) and it will be perfect. Didn't miss the dunk contest at all, especially when guys have plenty of opportunities to throw them down in the game.

She is supposedly very explosive with the ball & an excellent ball handler. She needs to work on her outside shot, but she's got plus speed. Regardless, I think tonight was a hit, at least with me. It was a win-win for players-fans! Heck, I'd commit after tonight! If only UConn offered me. LOL
 
As Amore tweeted, just go straight from the intros to the game.

If they need a filler, go w/ one of 3 pt/dunk contest/have the women's bball team do a dance.

Everything else was great.

I had a freakin awesome time. Intro movie / Player intros were awesome. Glowsticks were great. Gampel was full and loud. Not trying to be a downer, but the audio was horrible (couldn't understand a word) and the silly games after the intros were a big let down. Scrimmage was good fun though. It was funny seeing them go guys vs. gals the last minute and a half or so. :) I'll try to get a few pics up (probably later this weekend but we'll see!)
 
Watching espn and their coverage of 9 college campuses which includes duke,kentucky,and syracuse and our fans were electric compared to what ive seen.
 
That was pretty great. I hope they do a bunch of games where the crowds get shirts this year to pimp the new logo. Court looked incredible.

Pretty sure it wasn't how to play against girls. Lighten up and enjoy the night.
 
Glad they skipped the Simon Sez this year and the crab soccer thing that killed Brit Hunter's knee for good. I think it's great to see KO and Geno being supportive of each other and the men's and women's team members being very friendly as well. I think it's great for the program and great for recruits to see.
 
Wonder how much of the excitement for basketball has to do with the pathetic state of the football team. Seems like First Night was at another level this year.
