Did Alterique make the trip to Memphis?

[Chelo]

Will he be playing tomorrow?

Will he be playing tomorrow?

We’ll know more in an as yet undetermined amount of time.

 

[Kenny11]

I didn't see him on the team instagram pics boarding the plane

Probly took a limo... and by limo I think I mean a life star helicopter.

Broadcaster: “And here comes Alterique Gilbert checking into the game. You gotta love this kids no quit attitude. Hurley says he’s all heart and it’s really showing as he wheels into the game. He’s been said to be the next big thing since Patches O’Houlihan made his dogeball debut back in 66’”

 

[HuskyHawk]

I think we are hiding him to bring him out against Houston for a Willis Reed moment. We need him to limp even though his legs have always been fine. Maybe a sling and an eye patch.

 

[CL82]

Will Akok be playing?

 

[Robertelamin]

19 minutes after I finished reading this thread.

Because he was taking the Instragram pics????????????????????//

 

[JB75]

I guess it’s kind of good news that they haven’t released a statement officially declaring him out for Thursday /Friday- how cool would that be if he plays tomorrow? Hurley probably just messing with opposing coach and doesn’t want to say he’s out yet. No other reason to not officially say it unless there’s a 10% chance he plays and Hurley waiting till tmrw am. No news is good news???

 

[JimHurley]

In case you missed my post yesterday, Rique is unlikely to play at all in the tournament. This is from my one source I really trust.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

I can’t believe someone who creeps him on Snapchat hasn’t chimed in with a location update yet

So only way AG may play again this season is if Huskies can win 4 in 4 days.....

This is the way the season ends

Not with a bang but a whimper

Okay, ruled out for the American. We're just making sure he's healthy for the National tournament.

Yeah we're resting him for a huge run. Smart play.

 

[Scrutineer]

No news on the eye injury, or the concussion, is not good news for someone who has given his all for UConn for three years now, so maybe the "jokes" about his condition ought to be redirected towards something else.

I don't think anyone is joking about his condition; I am reading it more as gallows humor and a very heavy dose of sarcasm. This sucks out loud for everyone--most of all for Alterique.

[GemParty]

Hurt our two best players.

Yes. AG got his bell rung. I hope the eye injury will heal soon & is nothing critical.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

So unbelievably unfortunate.

 

[HooperScooper]

So unbelievably unfortunate.

That sums up the last 3 seasons.

 

[HungryHuskies]

Hopefully Jalen got his shot back, if not, we’re toast. But man, the amount of adversity this team has gone through, you’d think something good is going to happen soon.

 

[3rdbass]

He’s never played in the conference tournament. F Temple. Hurt 2 players unintentionally.

One intentionally in my mind. Cheap shot on AG. He knew what he was doing swinging down that hard.

Yes, we're at least fortunate that Jalen is back playing - which didn't look likely a couple weeks ago.

And like you said, maybe something good will happen for us.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

So wait, does he mean Sweet 16 weekend or Final 4?

 

[superjohn]

Wait, people actually expected him to play?
