First Four Thursday

Damn

 

[TRest]

Just classic Alterique. Feel really bad for him, but just classic.

Kind of sums him up perfectly. Wants to take that big shot, probably shouldn't. He was like 4-12, 0-5 today.

 

[aceboon]

It's almost like some of you dudes enjoyed seeing Gilbert come up short and lose

 

[August_West]

I feel like i've seen this ending before.

Yeah bouknight and Polley against creighton. Wasn’t that long

 

[8893]

Sorry AG.

 

[Chin Diesel]

What was Gilbert thinking??? It was a one point game...wow

Just classic Alterique. Feel really bad for him, but just classic.

Yep. Low situational awareness of what was needed. Only needed one for the tie and two for the win.

He pulls up from 25' with 3 seconds to go.

Won't call it hero ball. It is a low percentage play for a known suspect 3 point shooter.

 

[Vuce]

Damn....AG could have taken two more dribbles there. Sux. Was really pulling for him

 

[Chin Diesel]

Enjoy? No.

Know if the definition of insanity? Yes.
This is Charlie Brown with the football kick predictable.

 

[superjohn]

Rough go of it for Alterique, that sucks.

That Wichita team went 11-2 in the AAC and won the league, that is a sad conference.

Just a rough way to end it. Can't see him coming back for another year, but who knows?

 

[WrenchFan69]

Would you guys have been more happy if Gilbert took two more dribbles into the defense and took a fade away? Maybe he could maneuver his way into a 20ft floater? That's not a bad look with the amount of time he had left

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Feel bad for the kid.

 

[Stinger92860]

even the announcers questioned a 25 foot shot, when he had time to get much closer. Did you see the end of the game?

 

[Zionn]

Best of luck AG- where ever your next chapter takes you.

 

[BugsyCT]

Really wanted that to go in for AG. Been a rocky college road for him. SMH

Just wish he made it

 

[Dutch Boyd]

Wish he made that shot!

Yea the way Jimmy Jackson was talking he made it seem like he could have dribbled all the way to the basket which wasn't the case, a couple of more dribbles and the defender would have contested the shot easier. Wasn't the worst look, reminded me of Bazz pulling up with time remaining vs Nova his soph year.

 

[Ratso]

Oh Al. That was your moment.

not everyone is dame

Could be wrong but I feel like guys don’t know how to do on the run/ pull up jumpers, so it’s 3 or bust if you can’t get to the rim.

Didn't mind the shot at all, maybe a couple of more dribbles but overall not bad. I don't think anyone wishes AG ill, but we've seen this movie before. Tough.

 

[millertime7774]

On further review, he had three of his teammates behind him barely jogging up the court. How the hell does that happen? He didn't have much of a choice.

 

[SixRings]

All of his teammates were hanging at the arc. It was a 1 pt game. Someone should’ve gone to the hoop to help out. The whole team wanted to take a 3 pt shot.

Their entire offense was Udeze in the post, Etienne had 1 point the entire game. Just a piss poor game by Wichita.

There was no urgency after they got that board. Either weren't expecting a missed free throw, didn't know it was 1-and-1, didn't know the clock or didn't realize they had a timeout if they could have pushed it across half court in 2 second. Bad basketball. Dumb basketball. But then again, what else would you expect from the AAC...

your wrong. Edney went coast to coast on us with the about the same amount of tIme. It was a one point game and he could have gotten into the lane, possibly gotten fouled or hit a runner. He was 0 for from three prior to that shot.

Like AJ in the 6 OT game? And no, I'm not bitter.

 

[Durks07]

God, that's awful. I really wanted him to have one good thing happen for him in his college career.

Edney went coast to coast against Mizzou.

Exactly, a number of his teammates were behind the ball, and with his height a shot inside the arc in that scenario wass likely going to have a high degree of difficulty too.
