Video Fun From Midnight Madness: Slam Dunk Contest and Pre-Event Warmup

Quincy Dunking at MMadness copy If you haven’t read it yet, here’s the post with my impressions of yesterday’s Midnight Madness event — focusing mostly on the 10-minute team scrimmage.

Wanted to share some video I took before and during the event. I had a great time, and wanted to give anyone who wasn’t there a little taste of what went down, and give even those of you who were there a little look behind-the-scenes.

Here are a few videos (mostly dunks) of the team warming up while they waited for the UW/UCLA volleyball game to end:

Watch the background of this video for a nice slam by Abdul Gaddy.

A series of dunks and dunk attempts.

A little shooting contest between Matthew Bryan-Amaning and Scott Suggs.

More pre-event warmups.

A couple of nice dunks by MBA.

And, here’s a windmill dunk by Tyreese Breshers, who didn’t participate in the Slam Dunk contest.

Here’s one long clip from the Dunk Contest.

Thanks for coming!

    You have any video of VO and IT’s final dunks Themod?

    No, sorry! I wish I did, Brett. My memory card could hold about 12 minutes of video and a good # of pictures. I ran out of space in the middle of the dunk contest. Would’ve done it differently if I could go back in time…

    If you have a little extra cash (and can justify a frivolous expense to your wife) you may consider one of those pocket camcorders like the Flip Ultra HD. (www.theflip.com) I have no stake in these cameras whatsoever, but I thought of buying one specifically for going to games because it’s the size of a still picture camera, but takes 2 hours of HD video. I saw one online for $160.

    I have heard from every player on the team except CJ Wilcox. When is the media going to interview him? I am curious what his plans are this year. RS or not?

  8. Themod’s avatar

    You’ll see a short interview with CJ here on Monday morning.

    Did anyone see Big Josh or was he having a press conference commiting to UCLA?

    Based what players saw last night, should CJ Wilcox redshirt? I know it is hard to tell from a scrimmage.

    It’s hard to tell from one night. Based on my guess, which is that C.J. is a 5-8 minute per night player this year, yes, I think he’s more than capable at this point.

    I don’t think the team can afford to have him redshirt with only 12 players on the team. An injury or two, and they’ll need everyone on the roster for the rotation.

    Where did the player intro links go?…
