The Wildcats' new point guard is being mentored by one of the best: former UA star Aari McDonald.
A week ago, Arizona's freshman point guard put up 16 points to lead the Wildcats in a 40-point drubbing of Cal State Northridge. Gilbert had so much fun doing it that coach Adia Barnes couldn’t help but poke a little fun at her celebrations.
People are also reading… Behind Gilbert's smiles are some trials. She spent last season at IMG Academy in Florida. Gilbert said she learned a lot, but it wasn’t an easy year. On the court, she learned how to have a short memory and not get discouraged if she misses a shot. To forget about the miss and get back on defense, come back down on offense and take another shot.
Gilbert has made a splash in her debut as a Wildcat. She is averaging nearly 12 points per game while shooting 48% from the field. Barnes has been quick to praise Gilbert for putting in extra work. While at IMG Academy, Gilbert could be found getting her shots in early in the morning, before classes. At the UA, she works nights, putting up between 500 and 1,000 shots a day.
