I've said this in the chat room a couple of times but never bothered to post on the various threads regarding AG. For UConn to be great this year, we need AG to be very good to great. He's shown in limited time in the past few seasons he is capable of scoring. He's always defending. He's off to a slow start and in some kind up slump no doubt. You have to let him work through that.

Today in the chat, up 20ish, 4ish minutes left, relatively deep in the shot clock, Gilbert shot a pretty wide open three and missed. People were mad he took that shot. He's got to keep taking that shot, particularly when it's practice time.

He's going to work through the shooting woes at some point - he's just shown in the past he can shoot far better than he has this year. When he does, we suddenly become an even more scary team.

When he does that, make sure all you 'bench AG' guys show up and realize how important he is to this team having success at the highest levels.
