The Official Larrier and a Terrier Game Thread

[Kevin Caliendo]

Gilbert is really a terrible player right now. All flash, no substance and does nothing to help his teammates on either end.

Adams, Anderson, Vital, Larrier and Polley are the best five players

 

[superjohn]

Hope you guys remain patient with Gilbert, gunna need him to be good if we want to reach our full potential

He's the difference between us being an ok team and a really good team.

 

[Marty Jackson]

Can someone point out an actual set play on offense.

This 'lets pass the ball on the perimeter and then jack a 3' is getting old.

 

[Coach J]

Larrier's handle is not as tight as he thinks it is.

 

[Forte]

Anyone who doesn't see the potential of Gilbert as being something special is either in denial or BLIND

 

[JMick]

I thought you were my road dog.

the opportunity was too great

What was all the talk about AG being our best player on our team before the season started even based on? It sounds ridiculous now.

 

[ctchamps]

KO with ten toes out.

Judging any player at this stage of the season is equally ridiculous.

 

[Coach J]

Plus 5 with Carlton on that quick stint, they were minus 2 while he sat in between stints. I bet his first half +/- splits were similar.

 

[Jaybo]

Haven't been able to watch. Is cobb playing?

Not judging the kid. I'm seriously curious how he was considered one of the best on the team before the season. What was seen to warrant such a comment. I'm trying to hold out hope that something changes.

 

[James]

Lot of overreactions about Gilbert, he made some dumb passes but he still is effective in pick n roll and slashing.

Out for the rest of the game with a sprained ankle, I think

I’m not sure I see “effective”. He does beat his man out front and gets through to the hoop, but other than one nice floater hasn’t either finished well at the hoop or found others for easy buckets.

Not giving up, but I need to see better smarts after beating that first defender.

 

[JimHurley]

Start Anderson, Adams, Vital, Polley, and Carlton

Ha. Big of you on November 19 when the kid's been out for a year.

 

[jdb50]

With Gilberts size which limits his ability to pass and even dribble against good D as well as get his shot off, combined with his liability on D due to his height I don't see how he can be our best player.

 

[AntG168]

Gilbert is playing like a talented freshman guard.......which he is. He isn' playing bad tho, I don' understand that take he's been pretty decent tonite

 

[AntG168]

And still has 7 assist

Hey just my opinion, may not be worth anything. I want nothing more than for him to be as good as he's been talked up to be. Could be rust, could be the shoulder, but obviously he hasn't put it together yet imo. I just expected more out of the gate with all the big talk we head before the season startd. Thats probably just my bad.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Right now Gilbert is the epitome of the double edged sword.

He's going to be real good at some point, but he's gonna drive people bat sheet crazy in the meantime

 

[Jaybo]

Out for the rest of the game with a sprained ankle, I think

Well sh#t

 

[AntG168]

I wonder if people are gonna take back those terrible "CV isn't that good of a player" takes. CV with a 30 piece!!

 

[Guapo]

Hey, this was a really positive night.

Everyone should be happy.

Today was a great day for UConn athletics.

It's great to be a Connecticut Husky!

 

[MexicoHusky]

Decent tempo. Vital got back to being a all around player again and not just a 3 point guy. Which is nice.
