RH: Gilbert's Second Half Key To Win Over Houston
It is easy for us to see that Alterique Gilbert is making more shots to help Wichita State make a charge in February.
He made a bunch of big ones in Thursday's 68-63 win over No. 6 Houston at Koch Arena.
Less obvious are some of his other contributions that indicate a growing confidence and effectiveness. The Shockers (13-4, 9-2 American Athletic Conference) won five straight games to take over first place and help their NCAA Tournament resume.
Gilbert, according to Ken Pomeroy's offensive rating statistic, recorded three of his top six performances this month. In February's four games, he averages 14 points on 8-of-15 shooting from three-point range.
