UConn starters: Napier, Lamb, Daniels, Olander, and Drummond

Drummond getting his first career start at the expense of Oriakhi. Let's see if it lights a fire under Oriakhi and also get Drummond off to a fast start.

Where did they find that announcer on the left in pregame? The dude couldn't remember Kemba's name, and it seemed like he had never been on tv before.

I noticed that...pretty bad. I understand he probably knew nothing about the Uconn program but you have to know Kemba

 

[RichZ]

He also had Jeremy's wingspan at 72"!

We've looked really good so far in all aspects of the game. I like the way our starters played together and it may be our best and most versatile lineup.

But seriously, these announcers are terrible. They've had a few comments now that make you think they've never seen UConn play before.

Ok watching on net. Did announcers say daniels having tough start to season or did I mishear?

You heard right, these guys have no clue.

Drummond has looked good to start so far.

 

[LambaSlama]

Drummonds putback dunk was ridiculous.

 

[Socki]

Does anyone else thing Napier threw it off the glass intentionally to Drummond? It looked that way on the replay

These announcers are getting paid in 40oz bottles

RichZ - I'm pretty positive Lamb's wingspan is about 7'2 if I'm not mistaken?

And yeah that pregame announcer was pathetic. Couldn't remember Kemba's name and then he says "and Shabazz got a triple double the first time since uhhh since several years".... the last triple double was by KEMBA... LAST year. Moron, how do guys like that get hired lol.

Anyone see that follow-up dunk by Drummond? Shabazz def bricked that layup purposely off the backboard to set Andre up for the follow-up dunk lol.

Somehow missed your post Socki... yea I def think Bazz threw it off the backboard on purpose. He has much better touch on his lay-ups than to have bricked it that badly lol

Is 9-14 cold shooting?

I was thinking the same thing. Bad job all around by this HD Net broadcast of the game

 

[Gurleyman]

Dear announcers. 12-10 is not a run. Thank you.

 

[superjohn]

Drummond almost hit his head on the rim on the Shabazz backboard pass. Olander has looked great, making really nice passes.

 

[RichZ]

He absolutely did. No credit for an assist, and it counts as a missed shot, but it was still cool.

 

[Tommyboy]

That would have been unreal by drummond if not for the foul.

[LambaSlama]

No he missed the shot.. hit the rim before the backboard.

 

[superjohn]

Athletically Drummond is just absurd, that dunk attempt on the foul was crazy. Roscoe looks great, actually the whole team looks great.
