Open Practice?

[Buffett10]

Not sure if this question has been asked yet or not. Is there an open public practice on Thursday for us? I know the NCAA always does an open practice for fans before the "new 2nd round" If there is an open practice im planning on going down there and yelling for our boys from Thursday till Sunday night. LETS GO HUSKIES!!!!

I was wondering the same thing.

I did see on the MSU alumni facebook site they have open practice Thu around 1:15pm...

tcf15 - Thanks.

I actually work about 13 blocks away from MSG and the timing is perfect during lunch time.

can anyone explain how this works? can you just walk up? is it the same level of arena security meaning I cannot bring a work brief case if in between meetings?

I work two blocks away. Looks like I just booked a lunchtime meeting...

Does it mean what it sounds like? I work across the street. Can I just walk in and watch uconn practice?

FWIW, the open practices are just glorified walk-throughs. They're still fun to go to, but don't expect them to do much except for some shooting and simple drills.

Just finished watching the open practice at MSG. Bazz is moving fine - no issues with the leg/shin. Loved Brimah's energy especially on the low post - his hook shot was just money. I think he may be a difference maker tomorrow. Nothing else out of the ordinary - but, Omar even hit a few three pointers in a row. After this they are heading to one of the local colleges (or Chelsea Piers) to practice in private (according to one of the security people).
