What exactly happened on the play where the Iowa guy (don't recall his number, but he was skinny and white) was inbounding the ball from the baseline and he sort of lazily just threw it out of bounds?

I'd like to know what it was like for Pav last night to have that kind of crowd frenzy.

I was curious too. They never really showed it. The camera wasn't really showing the guy throwing it in, so all I saw was the ball dribbling along the floor and going out of bounds.

He penetrates and always seems to dish to a wide open teammate.
He sees the floor and understands where the ball needs to go. There was a play on the wing where he enticed help defense from the post and dished inside to Jones or King for an easy dunk. So simple but a heady play.

100% agree. Cutting him loose is the way this team could do something huge. We have to live with the potential downside of that.
I don't buy that at all. His ceiling is reached by playing under control like he was last night. We saw how bad he was when we let him loose in Orlando. Iowa was beyond bad at stopping the ball handler, keeping them out of the lane, and rim protecting. Once Gilbert got comfortable, he even started hitting 3s. When we let him loose in Orlando, how many did he airball?

I get your general sentiment, but we need him under control. He was aggressive last night, but in control. That's perfect.

I like his tear drop in the lane a lot more than his hang and initiate contact move. I hope he uses it more.

Username 2076. We know who to come for when this goes south tonight.

you have opened a portal where Patrick and Sandort combine for 8 threes
Tony Perkins gets a sneaky 15
Krikke out hustles and rebounds us and gets 15 of his own.
combined with ISU going on a 12 min drought somewhere in the game.

that is what you have just done here :)
This aged well...

Seems to me some players' strengths are really being honed in after the ESPN tourney. Same with C. Jones.

And it's starting to gel.

The crow tastes great as I didn't see 7-2 including last night after that tourney.

How I took that comment was let him play and figure it out, not urge him to wildly drive every time. You don't want to completely neuter his aggressiveness but like you said he also has to be under control. He needs to learn to walk that line. If you really force him to hold back his aggressiveness this team won't be as effective. Does that make sense?

What I’m trying to say is he has to get to that point of attacking with better decision and control, but there are probably going to be some bad moments now and then along the way. Fans need to hang in there while he learns and gets to that happy balance of attacking while making good decisions consistently.

The Iowa player attempted to bounce the ball off Milan's back similar to what Iowa State did against Woodbury. However, he missed milan and just threw it out of bounds.
