Time to bench AG

[Leebo]

I really thought flailing in the lane would do it on the 11th try.

 

[UconnPT2007]

Hurley deserves as much of the blame for letting AG continue his antics and costing us a valuable win.

 

[LIuconn]

Ok who would you like handling the ball? Who can get past their man on the dribble?

 

[UConnJim]

At the end of regulation, Bouknight should have been the one driving to the hoop, not Gilbert.

 

[Dean Wormer]

You all are wrong on AG

You were saying?

 

[UConnMike04]

At the end of regulation, Bouknight should have been the one driving to the hoop, not Gilbert.

100% agree...

 

[OkaForPrez]

It’s obvious. Make the hard decision Dan.

Unfortunately, we have no one else right now to run offense, but I'm tempted to put the ball in Gaffney's hands. Crazy as that sounds.

 

[AllAbout5]

Gilbert shouldn’t start ever. He’s so garbage

 

[UconnFanNVa]

Anything is better than dribbling into a crowd and falling to turn the ball over. Adams, Gaffney either one of them. Pass it to someone that can at least get off a prayer.

He should obviously be playing. He needs to be facilitating. Not going 2/13 from the floor. Break the press and get the team into the sets, and defend like his career depends on it--that's what his role needs to be. Wide open shots and easy layups until he's able to find a rhythm.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

It really doesn’t matter if he can get by, that’s like a 5% shot for Gilbert. I’d rather any number of guys take a better shot. That’s legitimately probably our lowest percentage shot.

 

[Ripper32]

Xavier rotated and shifted inside when he started to drive. It was so transparent. He doesn't have the length to slice through double and triple teams.

 

[Chuck]

What’s the point of getting by your man if you then turn it over to the next man or put up a wild shot though? It’s pretty useless to go by your guy if nothing good comes from it.

Literally anyone else

 

[Brandon86]

100% agree...

I agree. Dang it’s true, that kid is already our best shot creator.

 

[GoDAWGS]

I don't really understand this statement. He has been horrible. He is not the best player. Far from it. Give the others a chance to get their legs and they will be fine. AG has cost UConn more than he is worth. He has been in a slump since he came to UConn.

yea you were right

 

[Brandon86]

Not gonna lie, I don’t that about him. He blows by guys and can never get the ball on the backboard for nothing. It’s weird.

 

[Horatio]

That was bad but Bouknight fouled out. He would’ve got that last possession.

 

[LIuconn]

He facilitated early in the game. I'm pulling for him, he needs some tough love
However no one else has the ability to get to the free throw line on his own

 

[UconnFanNVa]

This is on Hurley. Only bright spot for ag was his making free throws. The Ag experiment should be over.

 

[UconnPT2007]

Brendan Adams or Gaffney. Gilbert cannot be allowed to continue to destroy this team. What good is his dribbling if he shoots 2-13 or can’t dish it to the correct player, or just stumbles over his own feet on the last play of the game. He single-handedly killed us this game with his decision making. He’s shooting BELOW 20% FOR THE YEAR. Enough.

 

[uconnever]

Gilbert is actually the right guy. He hit all those big free throws and earlier was driving and passing. That’s all he needs to do and he would be sufficient. He drives at will on anyone but he needs to have a plan to kick it to our shooters or a big for a dunk or layup, he’s too in love with trying to score. I actually think this may be a turning point for him. Reality may sink in now.

 

[Horatio]

Not gonna lie, I don’t that about him. He blows by guys and can never get the ball on the backboard for nothing. It’s weird.

Our best ball handler but can’t finish. He needs to go in an office and talk to Taliek Brown. Taliek was a pure point guard that passed the ball primarily.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

That’s just totally inconsequential when the only thing he turns that ability into is constant bad missed shots and turnovers.
