UConn alums attending FDU game Wednesday

Post/handle?

I copied this exactly as it appeared on the Home page of the UConn+ app.
Personally, I follow the "UConn Women’s Basketball" group on Facebook and am hoping that this is the correct group cited in the app. It claims to be the official Facebook page.
This is what is currently posted on the Facebook page.
"GAMEDAY

Tune into the pregame ceremony stream at 6:30 PM on this page and on uconnplus.tv."

I am not sure what the group on X is named, I am not much of an X user.

It was an attempt of a play on words on based on your handle "centerstream" and the fact that you were listing streaming options.

My wife and I will be watching with personal interest. Retired now, while an English teacher and Principal at Guilford High School one of her students was Marci Czel.

Doh!

For those of us who don't get SNY and watch games on the Fox app, I know Fox won't show the ceremony. Any idea if Uconn+ will show it or will I have to wait til the next day for someone to post it here.

It is scheduled to be on the UConn+ app for 6:30. Hopefully there won’t be “technical difficulties”.

No Charde Houston? Now that is someone who never gets mentioned anymore…

Looking at that list from twitter, 1982-86: Audrey Epstein Polinsky, Diane Poletti-Metzel, Peggy Walsh Meyers and a year younger, Jenifer Weidman Jomard. It's been so long ago, but here are four former UConn players, who actually experienced playing with a coaching staff prior to Auriemma/Dailey, and of course the infancy of the new era of basketball greatness. Almost certainly they have some stories to tell!

And Peggy Walsh-Myers is still a member of the staff

Well I guess the other thread wasn't good enough for some to cover this topic........

This Hartford Courant article lists all 63 players scheduled to attend. Too bad Svetlana, Swin, Tina and Stewie not on the list and of course those in the coaching ranks like Shea, Carla, Tamika , Nykesha etc... But this will probably still be the biggest gathering of UCONN talent I've seen in one place. Bird, Taurasi, Maya, Napheesa, Rizzotti, Lobo, Bacom are the big names among many others. Also surprised Kara isn't mentioned. Is SNY really going to make her be in the studio tonight? This is the one night they should have had that show at Gampel.

The last time we saw much alumnaes was the the 2016 championship game

I know, right? This of all nights SNY should have arranged to have the show at Gampel instead of in the studio.

Was just at Ted’s before the game. About 10 or more of his past players were there mixing with the fans. They seem as excited as the fans.

I saw Laura Lishness and Kathy Ferrier play in HS. Impressed, I wanted to follow them in college. Thus, they turned me on to UConn Women hoops and Geno and CD.

I felt bad for Kara. She must have been seething.

Rebecca's article on ESPN.com is classic!!
1,217 wins, 160 players, one legacy: UConn's Auriemma taught players 'to be best versions of ourselves'

Rebecca is a fabulous writer. I miss her "World According To..." during the WNBA season.

"When I turned 16, CD sent me a birthday card and mistakenly wished me a happy 17th birthday. Every year since then, in early October, I receive a card from her wishing me a happy birthday for one year older than my actual age."

I sold my tickets weeks ago. Daughter's birthday and back to back games on back to back nights at GP, I elected out

If I had realized this was for the record and / or all those former players would be there, I'm there, I missed a special night.

Sometimes life interferes with what we want to do.

You need to visit the distaff side more often. We’ve been keeping an eye on the record for a while
