Gilbert got a gift with a dumb Houston foul on the perimeter, goes to the line and misses both free throws when he could have extended the lead to 8. Who else knew the game was over right then and there?
Very impressive. Mods - is the handle “Nostradamus” taken already?I posted this tweet at that very moment View attachment 50186
He played 9 games for KO dope.He's just a losing player, period. Tough kid, represents the program well. But has no idea how to win games. A relic of the KO era.

I have no idea what that means but I do wonder what you think this team’s record and average margin of loss would be without Vital and Gilbert?He was around the program for 2 years, same as Vital. You think none of those attitudes rubbed off on him?

He played like 19 minutes that era.He's just a losing player, period. Tough kid, represents the program well. But has no idea how to win games. A relic of the KO era.
I know it would suck. I know if we had that whole senior class. We’d be ranked. Jackson. Durham. Vital. Gilbert. Diaries. That’s your starting 5. What. Oils do been. However. If they stayed. Ko would have too.I have no idea what that means but I do wonder what you think this team’s record and average margin of loss would be without Vital and Gilbert?
When you are a 6' guard (approximately) - you have got to make free throws. No excuse. No excuse. Might as well put in the trainer - or walk on... Frustrating.. and painful. I think messages have really been sent... And every kid thinks they are going to the league... That game - as others - were for the taking. They should be made to watch the video of it (from the 6 point lead) until the end ...over and over and over... wow?! No coach can fix the lack of self preparation. Betcha' Dan makes at least one of two - in his attire. Clank...clank...Gilbert got a gift with a dumb Houston foul on the perimeter, goes to the line and misses both free throws when he could have extended the lead to 8.

He did. Go back and watch the offense around 12:00 - 11:00 in the second half when AG sat for a minute. That’ll be real fun for us all to watch the rest of the season.A loss is a loss is a loss. Play the freshmen.
Why do you only show up on this board after tough losses? But the guy is part right, we aren't going anywhere until his guys are gone.You are blaming Ollie for last night's loss. Got it.
Taliek used to get eaten alive for being turnover prone and not having a better jumper. Wasn’t until that BETC vs Pitt that he became everybody’s darling. How quickly we forget.I'm not going to bury Gilbert because he's been a good kid, worked hard through injuries and I feel like his heart is in the right place.
That said, he's just not a point guard who knows how to control the flow of a game or direct an offensive game plan. You'd think with Taliek on staff, he'd have gotten better there because TB is arguably a top 3 UConn pure PG. It's frustrating to watch Gilbert take horrible shots or make poor decisions with the ball. Wow.
Or maybe we can refer to him as"Nostra"Very impressive. Mods - is the handle “Nostradamus” taken already?
I would recommend checking out box scores from 2003 and 2004. Tell me we couldn't use that point guard right about now. Sometimes you don't know what you had until it's gone.Taliek used to get eaten alive for being turnover prone and not having a better jumper.

Because he learned to stop dribbling into traffic and losing in the ball. I suspect if Gilbert made the same adjustment, he would get the same reaction from the board.Taliek used to get eaten alive for being turnover prone and not having a better jumper.

But he was told to get in the gym 1,066 times in those two years.He played 9 games for KO dope.
