I heard from a reliable source they had trouble getting him travel clearance out of Africa.

That's too bad. I would have liked to have seen him. But this squad sounds like fun.

Back to Back Championships and now Jerome Dyson is back in uniform. It’s overwhelming to be honest. It’s never been this good people.

I find myself interested in the Stars of Storrs. With a team of mostly UConn alum, now I am interested. The 6 pm game on Saturday is appointment TV for me. I am doing fun summer stuff today, tomorrow, and Saturday, too, but I want to see that inaugural game.

I really didn't watch The Basketball Tournament all that much in the past 9+ years since it's inception because I don't recall any UConn alum playing in it and I wasn't all the interested in the other schools alum. I do remember Boeheim's Army (Syracuse alumni) playing well, but I couldn't tell you if they won it all or who as won it all in any of the years and that includes a championship game I tuned in for the last 7 minutes of game time which included the Elam ending. Don't ask me what year I watched championship game because I don't remember.

Don’t recognize anyone on the opposition besides Symir Torrence

Why are there non UConn alumni on the Stars of Storrs team ?

I'm assuming they needed frontcourt players and didn't have any from UConn available. These "alumni" TBT teams aren't usually 100% alumni.

I need Louisville to get knocked off

 

[HuskeyRPT]

I like this lineup very much. What do you guys think?

 

[storrsroars]

Cole, Dyson, Joey C, Maxwell, Thomas on the floor. Not particularly high level ball yet. The Originals have a load built like dude from NC State, name of Alston.

 

[storrsroars]

Boatright has a huge bald spot!

This Matson guy from Baylor is decent

 

[Kemba'sYogurt]

Pretty surreal to see these guys again

I just looked and I’m familiar with Javon McCrea, good to see him hooping!

He was a great MAC player at my alma mater UB and is from the Rochester, NY area.

They’re all from central NY, a lot of D2 and D3 guys. And a 66 year old player/coach.

no stats to be had here onsite. Cole is leading scoter, Thomas has 9. He's actually pretty good, gets up and down quickly, physical underneath. But this is streetball with less ISO. Lots of bruises tomorrow

2nd half opens with Boat, Purv, Joey, Thomas, Maxwell

 

[storrsroars]

Purv with steal & end to end layup. Smitty wants to get Joey C more shots from arc
