Good job Sidney

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Wish him well, he'll be able to get way more playing time and showcase his talents there. UConn just looks way too talented for sidney to have gotten consistent minutes here this year with the talent on the roster

Season opening loss to St. Louis 89-52. See coach's comments on Sid:
Junior Sidney Wilson, a transfer from UConn, paced the Cougars on offense with 14 points and seven rebounds. Sid, the only SIUE player in double figures, had 14 points in 29 minutes, 6-11 on 2's, 0-1 on 3's, 7 rebounds,
0 assists, 0 steals, 1 block, and 5 turnovers.
"Sidney is a guy with high athleticism," Barone said. "He has played at a higher level. It was nice to see what he is capable of in flashes."

Second game, lost to LSU 94-81 and SIUE won the second half 47-45:
Sid was scoreless in 19 minutes, 0-3 on 2's, 0-1 on 3's, with 4 rebounds, 0 assists and 4 turnovers.
Cam Thomas had 27 points for LSU in 33 minutes, 10-21 on 2's, 4-9 on 3's, 3-4 on FT's, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls. Might have made our lineup this year.

It was always frustrating to watch the inconsistency, imagine what it's like to live it? I hope he has a good season.

At least it appears his inconsistency has remained consistent with the new team.

I want to play LSU, watch Cam Thomas play against us.

14 and 7 is a nice opening game. I hope it clicks for him and he plays consistently well. Sid was here during the darkest days of the program. Nothing but good wishes for him.

 

[Chief00]

Summer school a couple years ago at StJohn’s is paying off. LOL

On the other hand, 0 assists and 9 turnovers through two games captures his inconsistency pretty well.

Wish him well in Illinois, but he was not a good fit for Hurley.

[formerlurker]

I wish Sid nothing but success and hope he gets that sheepskin. The rest is gravy.

 

[glastonbury50]

He could have gone somewhere better.

 

[Tenspro2002]

He could have gone somewhere better.

Or those coaches realized that his ceiling was as the focal point of a bad team, not as a complimentary piece on a good team.

 

[gtcam]

Weird place to pitch his tent BUT if he's happy and he can be the BMOC, more power to him
Athletic ability is huge - game smarts - not so much
Hope he shines

 

[ZenConn]

Great athletic ability. I wish him the best.

 

[AuRevoirAAC]

Sidney is a talented player with unique athleticism. Things didn’t go as planned for him at UConn and that’s perfectly fine.

I’m happy he found another D1 program where he’s already established himself as the star player. It was probably
a difficult decision for him to make, and based on his recent stats at SIU, it turned out to be a wise one for his career. We’re proud of you, Sid!

 

[Hoophound]

Bryant beats Cuse yesterday if Sid took their offer instead.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

St. Louis Pharmacy Eutectics has a basketball team?!

 

[87Xfer]

I'm asuming an equivalency to us playing...nevermind.

 

[Chief00]

St. Louis Pharmacy Eutectics has a basketball team?!

Sid was 3-4 from 3. Did we let a 3 point shooter slip away? But, Sid would age Danny 2 years for every year he played at UConn - LOL

Cam Thomas had 27 points for LSU in 33 minutes, 10-21 on 2's, 4-9 on 3's, 3-4 on FT's, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls. Might have made our lineup this year.

Cam went for 25 points against St. Louis... sigh

 

[ucawn]

Sid with 22 so far with 5 mins left to play!
