Red Storm Tip-Off: photos, highlight video, Lavin introduction

Friday's Red Storm Tip-Off saw Phil Greene IV win the dunk contest, the unveiling of a set of new players for both the men and the women, a number of recruits in the building and a lot of fun for the fans - treated to dunks, a DJ set, along with rapper French Montana.

There is a lot of excitement for a team that lost two major contributors to (possibly) the NBA, but there may be reasons for optimism, given the talent remaining on the team.
