My future favorite player Ryan Boatright had 63 tonight. He shot 20-for-26 from the field, 7-for-12 from 3 and 16-for-16 from the foul line.

I've been negligent in welcoming Enosch Wolf to the team. He probably sucks, but I suppose it can't hurt to have a 7-foot-1 German on the roster.

Comical box score so far. UConn is shooting 2-for-17, but out-rebounding Coppin State 13-2

Whoa, my favorite UConn Kevin of all time, Kevin Freeman, is at the game! They said on the radio that he's playing in a league in the Canary Islands.

Spanish Wikipedia has an entry on Kevin Freeman! I hope nutshot can translate it for me, but 22.4 puntos y 9.6 rebotes sure sounds good!

Quote:
Freeman se formó en la Universidad de Connecticut, con la que disputó un total de 140 partidos repartidos en las cuatro temporadas que jugó con la camiseta de los 'Huskies', llegando incluso a proclamarse campeón de la NCAA en el 99 cuando compartiendo equipo con Richard Hamilton superaron a Duke en agónica final.[2] Sus promedios durante el periplo universitario fueron de 10.6 puntos y 6.5 rebotes.

Tras su carrera universitaria no fue drafteado por la NBA, si lo hizo en ligas menores como la USBL o la ABA, siendo esta donde se estrenó como profesional con Los Angeles Stars, si bien se lesionó tras solo dos partidos disputados.[3] Tras jugar en Filipinas, pasó a la LegaDue italiana con la Sutor Montegranaro, fue cortado en enero pero ficho inmediatamente por Basket Ferrara donde acabó la temporada. Marchó a la NBL Australiana donde jugó tres temporadas con Brisbane Bullets. En 2003-04 promedió 22.4 puntos y 9.6 rebotes en 15 partidos, mientras que en 2004-05 sus promedios fueron de 20.7 puntos y 10.5 rebotes en 21 encuentros y siendo elegido en el 3er equipo de la liga. Entre medias disputó otros 21 compromisos con los Westchester Wildfire en 2004 (USBL estadounidense) con unas medias de 16,5 puntos y 4,9 rebotes.

Volvió a Europa con Aris de Salónica, donde fue cortado y en enero del 2006 probó con Givat Shmuel en Israel donde lesionado no logró plaza y acabó volviendo otro verano a la PBA jugando la Coferencia Fiesta con San Miguel Beermen. Comenzó la nueva temporada en China con Zhejiang Horses donde jugó hasta diciembre. Tras esto inició su primera participación en la LPB de Venezuela con Cocodrilos de Caracas, donde ha jugado habitualmente de manera intermitente desde entonces, disputó 33 partidos con unos promedios de 15.2 puntos y 4.9 rebotes. Ese verano de 2007 también tuvo una breve experiencia en Puerto Rico con los Leones de Ponce (5 partidos con un promedio de 14.8 puntos y 5.2 rebotes).

La 2007-08 la empezó en Argentina con Estudiantes de Bahía Blanca siendo cortado apenas empezada la temporada, se incorporó entonces a la Legadue italiana con Andrea Costa Imola y al ser nuevamente cortado en enero se unió a Cocodrilos al inicio de la LPB 2008, allí sus medias fueron de 13.4 puntos y 4.1 rebotes. A finales de 2008 fichó por el Ángeles de Puebla en la LNBP mexicana, con el que participó en 12 partidos con unos promedios de 14.2 puntos y 6.4 rebotes, uniéndose de nuevo a Cocodrilos para la 2009 donde tan solo juega 7 partidos en los que promedió 11.7 puntos y 4.7 rebotes.

En la temporada 2009-10 comienza la temporada en la LEB Oro con Tenerife Rural, si bien su experiencia es breve, siendo cortado en noviembre y sustituido por Lou Roe.[4] Tras esto se une a Espartanos de Margarita para jugar la Liga de las Américas y posteriormente inicia nuevamente la temporada con Cocodrilos de Caracas en la LPB donde esta vez juega 19 partidos con promedios de 10.8 ptos. y 3.4 reb. hasta que por lesión salió del equipo en abril.

I think you're looking for the UConn women's thread.

OK, last tuneup. It would be nice to see a really sharp performance.

So Giffey is actually pronounced giff-EYE? Weird. I don't think I'm going to go along with that.

Is it possible Okwandu might be turning into a productive player before our eyes? That would be such an incredible boost.

Oh my goodness Napier, if you're going to take a 19 foot jumper on a fast break, at least try to hit the rim please.

Freshmen, you're not going to get away with these lazy passes once Big East play starts.

HOLY ****, OKWANDU WITH A TURN-AROUND LEFTY JUMP HOOK! IS THIS FOR REAL?

I like Lamb's offensive game a lot. He's going to be a really good scorer.

For those not watching (everyone) the officials just stopped play to check the monitor and the announcer speculated that they may be checking to see if the previous shot, which MISSED, was a 3 or a 2.
