Did you notice Jefferson try to give it back to Napier immediately afterwards? That was funny, good thing she passed after her fancy dribbling! I noticed the smile on both their faces!

She did a pretty good job of it. She's quick as hell; she's gonna have the ball on a string this season.

Scrimmage was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Hope they do it again next year. I think they just need to add something in the middle (maybe the all-star weekend shooting stars competition I alluded to earlier) and it will be perfect. Didn't miss the dunk contest at all, especially when guys have plenty of opportunities to throw them down in the game.

She is supposedly very explosive with the ball & an excellent ball handler. She needs to work on her outside shot, but she's got plus speed. Regardless, I think tonight was a hit, at least with me. It was a win-win for players-fans! Heck, I'd commit after tonight! If only UConn offered me. LOL

I had a freakin awesome time. Intro movie / Player intros were awesome. Glowsticks were great. Gampel was full and loud. Not trying to be a downer, but the audio was horrible (couldn't understand a word) and the silly games after the intros were a big let down. Scrimmage was good fun though. It was funny seeing them go guys vs. gals the last minute and a half or so. 
I'll try to get a few pics up (probably later this weekend but we'll see!)

Pretty sure it wasn't how to play against girls. Lighten up and enjoy the night.

Sarcasm detector disabled... I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that BigErn was being facetious with that comment.

Glad they skipped the Simon Sez this year and the crab soccer thing that killed Brit Hunter's knee for good. I think it's great to see KO and Geno being supportive of each other and the men's and women's team members being very friendly as well. I think it's great for the program and great for recruits to see.

Just as an FYI for those who attend in the future....as long as you're not pushing to get great seats just take your time, do some shopping at the Co-op and wait for the lines to dwindle and you can get mid court near the top.......all the waiting in line is only for those who care about where they sit which is fine.....
I picked up my son at Westfield State at 4pm and got there, had a bite, bought some stuff and then walked right in at about 6:15 and got top row middle and it was a fun spot. He and I have gone to about 6 of the last 7 with the ritual being Willington Pizza on the way in but man it was packed when we got there........had a bite on campus. As we were driving up the main road with all the students in line he said to me "Dad maybe I should have gone to UConn there's a ton more hot chicks here than at WSU...".......tried to tell him!! LOL
Get rid of the games at mid court - bring back the 3 pt contest and the dunk contest for the guys and it would be fine. But it was fun anyway, we had a blast!! To end it all he said to me "Dad it wasn't as good as the past few but we need to come every year anyway"..................pretty proud moment not just as a dad but now knowing the Huskies have another fan for life!!!

The music and the emcee were sickeningly loud. It could have been turned down a notch or two and still been effective. There was a young toddler sitting in front of me who would start screaming every time the mc would start yelling in the mike. His family had to leave. Great impact it had on them. That whole deal was just childish, stupidity and I'm sure UConn will be getting a number of complaints about it. The volume detracted from what otherwise was a fun night.
