STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Former UConn basketball star Kemba Walker returned to campus Friday to get a good look at the next generation of Huskies.
The Boston Celtics guard, who led Connecticut to the 2011 national championship, was among the thousands of fans who attended First Night, the annual celebration that marks the unofficial opening of the season for both the men’s and women’s basketball programs.
The dunk and 3-point shooting exhibitions were followed by a concert from music star T-Pain. The audience began lining up outside Gampel Pavilion more than four hours before the start of the event.
