Does anyone know where the refs come from? Are they real refs?

Kiah with black headband. Headbands OK if same color as hair?

 

[UConnChapette]

TLaw for 3333333!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kiah Stokes for 3???!!! WOW!

Big year for Kiah incoming. Seriously. Was that a TLaw 3??

 

[UConnChapette]

Nurse scores!

And again...no fear, going in against the trees with the Y chromosomes!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Come on Court you gotta take that. Nurse with a nice score.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Kinda weird not seeing Stef and Bria out there.

 

[UConnChapette]

So far have only seen Nurse and Mo willing to take it to the rim. Courtney just did as well.

 

[UConnChapette]

Oh boy....Nurse is going to be a good one. It is going to be fun to watch her for the next four years.

 

[HoopsFan21]

This game is clearly for entertainment purposes only...

 

[HoopsFan21]

23-19 Team Kevin at half (10-minute halves?)

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Nurse and Edwards are both fleet of foot, Ekmark not so much. I think it's clear that Ekmark is more of a wing/forward whereas Nurse could probably play three positions.

 

[UConnChapette]

Mo with the alley oop to Rodney Purvis for the dunk! Sweet!

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Gabby Williams playing..I'm shocked.

 

[UConnChapette]

Kia Nurse already looks like a floor general. I cannot wait to see her in real game action.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Look at all those banners! By the way, is Storrs really in the middle of nowhere? How far from Boston, Hartford, Providence, and New York? I think some need to go to some other schools to realize what "middle of nowhere" really means. Many of the big schools are surrounded by corn fields and 3 hours from the nearest city. I mean in Connecticut middle of nowhere means you only have one interstate and one shopping mall in your town and maybe no one delivers after 10 pm. Living here we really have no clue what middle of nowhere really means. I've been to truly middle of nowhere places. Nearly 90% of Connecticut is classified as (sub)urban by the U.S. Census Bureau.

 

[UConnChapette]

Natalie Butler looked pretty good on that play

 

[HoopsFan21]

Tuck with a 3, Team Geno 34-31 3:55.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Tuck's shot looked really good there.

Having lived in Madison, South Dakota for a time I can attest to the fact that Storrs is really not that far out in the middle of nowhere. But in a relative sense, it is. But UConn is really building up both around and on campus. I think there is a lot more to do in Storrs today than there was in 1995 or even 2005.

Still don't like the new UConn logo.. wish the old husky was still around.

It has grown on me. I don't mind it, but I didn't hate it when it was first introduced either. It did take some time to get used to.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Team Geno wins 38-37.

I like the old dog that looks friendly and looks like he would like to be pet instead of biting off your hand lol.

 

[UConnChapette]

Look at Geno, so intense in a scrimmage. Comes away with the win. The guy only knows how to win.

Did we miss the three point competition? I didn't see it.
