Geno and Ollie coming out with the 2014 trophies.

 

[UConnChapette]

Funny...no forced delay in posting tonight

 

[Sonny44]

Gen's been working out?

 

[UConnChapette]

Kevin showing Geno all kinds of love. And it is genuine. Nice to see.

 

[UConnChapette]

The. Basketball. Capitol. Of. The. World!

 

[UConnChapette]

And Geno showing the students a ton of love.

Now for the player intros...

 

[HoopsFan21]

Sadie and Courtney first out.

 

[UConnChapette]

Need to move the camera person out of the way...blocking the spotlight on the players dance moves - which so far hasn't come close to Stef's moves...

 

[HoopsFan21]

Nurse and Williams. They are alternating two women and two men.

 

[UConnChapette]

Ah, Natalie! No dance moves? Whaddup with that?

Tierney and Morgan just with waves too.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Butler and Chong. Butler looks apprehensive there.. like wow they really really take basketball seriously here. Welcome to the basketball capital, young lady. Enjoy your stay.

Natalie: "B-but I'm not even playing this year!" (just in case anyone reads this after the fact and wonders, no, she didn't say that)

 

[HoopsFan21]

TLaw and Tuck now.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Mo with moves and swagger coming out and long hair. This is her team. After Mo, Polly.

 

[UConnChapette]

Mo dancing all the way down the stairs... Polly does the wave too

 

[EricLA]

Moriah is a hoot! She was having a blast with the fans and dancing her way down the stairs!!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Stewie and Stokes.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Boat and KML to end the intros.

 

[EricLA]

BTW totally love the atmosphere - the lights turned way down, the packed house, and all the blue glow sticks everywhere. It has to look great for all the recruits in the building!!!

 

[UConnChapette]

KML...with a pony tail. Not her usual style.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Banners unveiled.

 

[UConnChapette]

And now the banners.....having a problem uncovering them. So far the only glitch in the program.

 

[EricLA]

Seriously - they couldn't pull the cover off of the women's NC banner? Good grief didn't they practice that???

 

[UConnChapette]

Oh...commercial break
