Message: [QUOTE="NJHoops, post: 4403373, member: 8779"] Right. This is what almost every team does now, and almost every on-line fan group complains about it. I agree that there was something very cool about a true Midnight Madness across the sport, but that time has long since passed, so I adjust my expectations and move on. Not everything is for everybody. I think these things are kind of awkward and weird, but it is not FOR me. The players put on their uniforms, have some fun in front of a crowd for the first time in a while, take lots of selfies, then go out after. College! The coaches don’t want to mess around with any kind of scrimmage the day they had full practices, which makes sense. I wish they had the event where they introduced the players, they threw up some shots, and then some rapper known mostly to college students came out and did a few songs with the team on stage. Maybe then people could adjust their expectations that this has little to do with basketball. They did it that way at URI when Dan was there, but I am guessing UConn likes to keep it basketball-ish only? [/QUOTE]
