UConn is pretty bad at this. A week ago it was supposed to be on facebook. I'm not on facebook but my wife is. It's not on it now apparently. FloSports doesn't work. 2/3rds of the state doesnt get the local CW station that it's being televised on. In the day and age of streaming can they find a reliable way to get their product out to the fans?

So based on the timing. Is the women's scrimmage going to happen before 8 but the men won't have enough time to warm up and scrimmage during the 1hr TV broadcast, even though the event is schedule to go 90 mins..?

That was a waste of an hour

 

[UConnSwag11]

Didn’t run smoothly and didn’t do anything for an hour

Everyone involved in Flosports should pack up everything, go home and never return. They are TERRIBLE! all the time.

Worst hour of TV I think I’ve ever seen. Really

On Twitter they are saying that one of the baskets has malfunctioned and can't be raised to the proper height so they did a dunk contest and are now playing 2 4 on 4 half court games. Why in the world wouldnt the baskets be put at normal heights earlier today? Between this and FloSports, this is one rough first night...and I saw the one with some weird tissue box or toilet paper game with Susan Herbst involved. Was the only one I went to and I thought that was pretty brutal.

What an embarrassing event from UConn Operations. A packed house of students excited to watch the teams play and they can't get a stream or basketball set up properly. Can't look much more amateur than this.

Do they test the baskets beforehand? Or just the lights, sound and fog machine?

Glad no major recruits came. Why are they always so bad at this stuff? It's not difficult. Fans just want to see the team and new players play.

Saw it on the CW. Let's hope the season goes more smoothly than First Night. First Dud.

Well, let's just thank god we don't have to produce our own games on ESPN+

Chiefs not going to be happy. I hope at least the urinals were in working order!

The only thing flowing tonight will be Bourbon

[Huskyforlife]

AD David Benedict should publicly apologize to everyone.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think AD David Benedict is involved in the planning and execution of first night

What you drinkin tonight?

Heaven’s door

Camera work sucks. I feel like I’m watching a illegally taped movie

If it screwed up - he had his hands in it

 

[McLovin]

Heaven’s door

I've only had it once. I bought a bottle from the local store (it was a store pick) and I've always liked his picks in the past. Was disappointed. Might have to crack it back open and give it another shot.

Randy Edsall must have been in charge of it
