Gillespie OUT for today’s game

[StepbackCity]

Huge loss. Maybe it’s time for Jelly JQ vs Jelly Sid

 

[Kemba'sYogurt]

Paging the poster who said JQ will go off for 30 against us.

Yeah. You’re probably right.

 

[Zissou]

Gillespie is a big part of our offense. It will be interesting to see who steps up.

Wish he was playing. He's very hit or miss, think he would have trouble with our pressure.

 

[JimHurley]

Quinerly is more talented.

 

[HawkHusky]

UConn by 30.

This gives a JQ or someone else a chance to step up like many always do vs. us.......sorry but only depth is hurt by him not playing his game doesn’t scare me would prefer to see him in the lineup.

 

[Kemba429]

Him and Cremo Novas best shooters. Hopefully we can limit the perimeter shots today.

Agree. He’s very overrated. Gilbert would’ve shut him down.

Not Likely

Very likely drove him crazy the offense would’ve started closer to half court quite often.

They have good players who will play more minutes and step up. Booth will handle it more and if Quinerly can’t step up the Cremo’s, Swiders, Beys, Samuels will all help out they’ll be fine. If we turn it over like we have in other bigger games they certainly won’t miss Gillespie.

With Gillespie out UConn should press the crap out of Nova and stay after it. Full court. Press the inbounds aggressively, and trap.

Nova would likely get some break the press points, but it will wear us down and you'll either generate turnovers or make us less efficient and more harried with a short possession clock.

It might force Jay's hand on playing JQ. It will be a tough environment to step into as he has not had PT.

This could end up being a great game. I enjoyed the road trip last year to your place, but y'all were not very competitive.

I’m sorry but Gillespie is not good. I think Jay Wright wants him to be the next Arcidiacono and he’s just not. He doesn’t excel at any particular aspect of the game.

We were horrendous the past 2 years, we're way better this year but still haven't shown we can close out big games in winning time yet. Here is to a good game today and Merry Christmas!

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Built in excuse for them if we win and more damning for us if we lose. Win-win for Nova

 

[Danzz]

Quinerly is more talented.

Quinerly gets lost on defense. Talented but I hope he gets to guard Jalen.

 

[navery12]

No Kwintin either

 

[Caronimo]

UConn by a thousand

 

[Kenny11]

Damn. I was looking forward to our guards destroying him. I think he sucks.

 

[Dabutlerdidit]

We’ve had the injury bug for 2 years.. got no sympathy for other teams excuses

 

[Robertelamin]

I’m really enjoying this pregame infomercial featuring Larry King!

We were not at all competitive last year for sure. But again, if our best players don’t play under control today we could lose ground fast. Here’s to us being more competitive and making it a good game at MSG in CBS.
