Anyone else go down to this? It was kind of lame, especially with the rain where the players could only take jump shots. The court looked really cool and for the few hundred that were down there it was very easy to access the several players that showed up and Cronin. I did score a free t-shirt (and not one with a stupid sponsor on it) and a poster that I got autographed by all the players who showed up. Kilpatrick, Jackson, Davis, Sanders, Shaq and Gelawn were all there. The rest Mick said were in class. Mick did say that for the first preseason game he will press for 40 minutes. That we had the bodies to do it now. When I talked to him at the tail end of the event I told him I was excited to see the freshman play and he said yeah we have some talent and they are going to have to play defense, which we of course have heard before. That was it, nothing earth-shattering. I did joke with the women's coach. I guess she's won six national titles with UConn as either a player or an assistant. As she was leaving I asked her why she wasn't wearing her six title rings and she laughed and said I'd have to come to her office where she has them on display. Oh and icing on the cake, when I got home, my season tickets had arrived in the mail!!
