First Night

[RockyMTblue2]

The last "K" was pretty good.

Yeah, I thought of 5Ks to avoid the whole ugly thing, but I didn't want to put too much pressure on her. I tell you, she ain't gonna disappoint!

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Wow, what a pass from Crystal Dangerfield to Chong!

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Dang, now a Crystal Dangerfield three as Bent goes behind the screen.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Crystal is the real deal ... English to Saniya, money.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Muffett, be afraid. Be very afraid.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Butler with the O-board and putback off glass.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Pretty sure this isn't live and we're just watching highlights of what already happened... look at the clock.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

I think the guys can't figure out what game the gals are playing.

They are blending live and replay, just like the big kids at ESPN do.

Crystal is impressive with her handle.

Haven't seen Batouly??

 

[katymarie82]

Wish there was a rule that for a quarter that there will be no slam dunks by men and they have to play with girls!

 

[RockyMTblue2]

I did think we were not going to have mixed teams this year. I get worried about women, men, and egos every time.

Thankfully everyone behaved. I think the men have it firmly in mind if they injure a UConn WBB player they are pretty much dead!

Camara didn't play. Had shoulder surgery in July--maybe not allowed contact yet?

 

[Kaizen]

I like Chong's aggressive

 

[huskyd]

Butler looks really good ..

Yup. That was the biggest pleasant surprise: Nat looks as if she's lost a quarter of her body weight, looks spry and ready to go. Kia is Charisma Capitalized, and Gabby is the Leader of the Pack--fun kid. Now we know how to pronounce Azure-ay (accent second syll.) If Geno plans to fit inside the hoop when he cuts down the NC cords, he better get Butler's diet plan . . .

Did the men realize that the women were on the floor with them? Nothing like throwing them a pass. Plus, what was with the white guys staying glued to the pines. They deserved a li'l love, too!

 

[Kibitzer]

Gabby's first college three

It's only one, a minuscule sample, BUT. . .

. . . Rewind to March, UConn vs. Texas in Bridgeport.

We arrived very early and watched the free shoot-around. What caught my eye-test was the frequency and intensity of Gabby shooting treys. I was so impressed that I posted about it here on the Boneyard, expressing my hope that she might -- just might -- be adding a reliable perimeter shot to her talent arsenal.

When the games begin we'll see if I was prescient or just dreaming.

She looked comfortable taking them tonight. Still, I'd be just fine with her dominating with her scoring and passing skills inside the arc. Threes are a cherry on top.

One more First Night - recruit note.

Adamec's three tweets about the 2019 targets attending First Night were all "liked" by Samantha Brunelle.

 

[DaddyChoc]

I'm grateful to be able to watch, but production is so poor they have auto exposure set on the camera, which is why it gets so dark when a spotlight gets in the frame. I know, I'm not happy unless I'm whining about something, right?

Whomever said it first. I agree that Molly Bent is the real deal. She went against Crystal Dangerfield in the skills. Drained a 3 on the run. Although the guys just took their time, Molly and partner were in the lead. That is until Gabby and her partner won by 1 sec.
In the game, Molly played point and looked comfortable for a freshman. Blocked out. Got an O board and put back.
Yes sir, this Molly is a 10..

Seems Oklahoma likes CT. UConn First Night Basketball

Are you nutty! Never settle Sluconn ... UConn "supporters" (Kevin Ollie's word) should never settle in the pursuit of perfect.

she is going to be a fan favorite very quickly..........almost every high school basketball player that also played soccer that I have seen plays like a maniac..........they hustle non-stop and dive for every ball...........add to that the fact that she has good bball skills and you have a winner!

OBTW, before I toddle off with a glass of war milk: Crystal is one of the ready for prime time players.
