Imagine how easy it would be to broadcast this scrimmage on YouTube? You know, maybe drive up fan engagement, and perhaps generate excitement around a big upcoming season?

Nah, why do that when Dave Borges from the NH Register is there to send 10 tweets about it?!

Sometimes I wonder… As fans outside of the state, we’re not asking for much from the College Basketball Capital of the World. All I want to do is watch the team play.

You make a solid point. When you look at how Kentucky, Duke and UNC market their programs you have to wonder why UConn doesn’t put in the same effort

Enquiring minds want to know.

Hawk, polley and Martin are rotating with the blues pretty evenly.

 

[bigknight3]

5 v 5 with refs.

AJ hit a contested corner 3.

Hawk came back with a fad away 2 from top of the paint.

It would be easier to sell out if they put tickets on sale more than a week before the game.

Tonight sounds awesome, though.

 

[bigknight3]

Jackson went up to murder the rim. No dice is a proper recap. Adama want having it

 

[mauconnfan]

I hope this was very early and there’s a lot more people there. Otherwise they should have “opened” it. I know I would’ve been there.

Hawk, polley and Martin are rotating with the blues pretty evenly.

There's the bulk of minutes at 2 and 3 spots.

Gaff and Jackson on outside looking in?

 

[bigknight3]

Ok we're full 5v5 now with 3 refs.

Cole, hawk, Martin, Whaley and Adams started vs

Gaffney, Floyd, aj, springs and akok.


Blue bench is polley and Matt Gary
White bench is Diggins, Samson and Andrew hurley.

Diggins is participating.

Springs looks really good imho

There's the bulk of minutes at 2 and 3 spots.

Gaff and Jackson on outside looking in?

That's what it looks like so far. But Jackson and Gaffney are running things for the white team. Looks like they want AJ to have license to rebound and lead the break or have the bigs outlet pass to him in transition.

And no I’m not trolling

Also, beer at Gampel is gonna be fun

"Is gonna be fun?"

Are you implying you haven't started yet?

 

[Palatine]

Based on this practice Justin Brown is the starter at center.

 

[bigknight3]

RJ come grimising with the trainer on the sideline looking at his hand.

Hope he just jammed a finger.

And no I’m not trolling

What's he done so far?

 

[bigknight3]

Hawk and

RJ come grimising with the trainer on the sideline looking at his hand.

Hope he just jammed a finger.

Looks like he's getting a finger taped up but he just came back in.

 

[bigknight3]

What's he done so far?

Just got in good defensive position and took a charge against hawk driving baseline to the basket.

You love to hear it.

 

[Vuce]

Hurley and Kimani coaching against each other. Both in mid season F bomb form

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Springs has made some nice defensive plays & some great cuts. Nice court awareness & crisp passes. Looks comfortable.

don’t sleep on CFJ. Looks comfortable & fearless. Some nice moves down low. Not afraid to body up

A wing player who can get out on the break and "send it home!" full Raff there, is what I would love to see AJax doing this year. He can move to point guard next year.

Well this is just practice drinking tonight

 

[TRest]

Anybody hitting 3’s?

CFJ has no fear driving hard to finish at the rim. While Kimani was getting on AJ to shoot. CFJ had two contested laps in traffic.

He doesn't look out of place.
