Should UConn ever court storm?

[uchusky32]

When we win another Natty.

If they win tomorrow they can tear down the hoops and carry them to Ted’s.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Yes, but only when we complete an undefeated season by winning the National Championship Game. Beyond that, no.

 

[Austin316]

We need to be unranked and beat a highly ranked team (top 3 in the country).

otherwise the storm looks more annoying to the home viewer.

then Again if we storm it means we got a big win so who the hell cares... win is a win

 

[CbbisGreat]

let the kids have fun

 

[blue93]

I used to say no.... but the kids on campus today haven’t even sniffed basketball success, so I say go for it.

 

[AntG168]

If we win tomorrow it’ll be huge. It’ll almost stamp our return for the fanbase. We’d almost be poised in to go into our tourney at 19-12 and a * ton of MOMENTUM. Add in its senior night and the place will be packed to capacity. STORM THE FREAKING COURT. We Back

 

[XLCenterFan]

If you beat the #1 ranked team, you storm the court. Any other court storming is bush league.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

damn

Storm the court and have fun. One of my best UConn memories was the Arizona game in 2000.

I was at the women's game when we beat Tenn to become number one in both men's and women's polls. I thought we were gonna storm the court. I kinda wish we did. I was super low in the student section behind the basket.

I was also at that game in the lower student section....Got some screen time in the episode of Basketball Diaries that featured the women’s team. One of the best game atmospheres I’ve ever been in.

 

[Tenspro2002]

No, don't act small time.

 

[Captbluefin]

Do NOT storm the court if we beat HOUSTON !!!

 

[Ts5034]

Has the court storm after beating Texas in 2010 been brought up yet? Texas was ranked #1 and they were coming off a loss earlier in the week, and we still stormed the court after that win.

Nice! For some reason I thought the place was gonna collapse. It was a great game!

And it was soo much fun doing it, and it takes a special kind of loser to complain about it

 

[Kitaman]

If we win the AAC Tourney and have representation in TX, then hell yeah. Leave a mess and in fact get ugly with it. Tear that sucker up!

Say goodbye to the conference properly.

Technically they were still ranked #1. A lame duck #1, but still. I was at this game too - awesome time!

There are rules! Pat Forde’s are the best:

Forde Minutes: Storm stories

The latest Forde Minutes helps define when D-I programs should be able to storm the court.

Since this was written, we’ve reached the “Old Money Principle” heights of the college basketball elite (3+ banners). So no storming!

Unfortunately, we are currently operating under a “Protocol Exception” because our “august basketball program has hit the skids to a dispiriting degree” (missing 2+ consecutive NCAA tournaments).

So storming is temporarily allowed under limited circumstances until we regain our rightful place in the college basketball hierarchy. But only if we (1) beat the #1 ranked team or (2) beat a top 5 team on a buzzer beater.

Maybe we’ll have a chance next year in the Big East. As Hurley would say, get your storming in now students! Because the days when we wouldn’t think of it are coming.

 

[auror]

At least we're not Indiana

 

[XLCenterFan]

I believe that it should only be reserved for home wins vs. a #1 opponent. Let's not start handing out too many trophies now. And I'm a millenial!

 

[XLCenterFan]

At least we're not Indiana

This is what I mean. Millenials ruining many things.

 

[GoUC99]

Four national championships and one of the best programs over the last 20-25 years means we’ve been there before and should act like it. Storming the court/storming the field is for when the unthinkable happens. If we’re talking about our football team and we beat a top program you storm the field because it’s so unlikely to happen. You don’t see the blue blood fans storming the courts or the Alabama/OSU/Clemson football fans storming the field. Once you become elite that all ends and even after a few rough years our b-ball program is still in the elites.

 

[HuskylnSC]

I voted no but @Ratso converted me. I agree 10 years ago - no; Now - Oh Yeah!

 

[joober jones]

I'd be okay with it if we win tomorrow, especially if we go with just 6 guys. That would be a pretty big accomplishment.
