Gabby F’n Marshall

I was going to make a post regarding GM even before that block.

That girl was HUSTLING all game.

FWIW, I think the very pro Iowa crowd was chanting Gabby's name at the end of the game. That's how it sounded on TV to me anyway.

If so, what an awesome conclusion to the game and tournament for her. Her defense was HUGE in the last few minutes and may very well have been the difference in the game.

Congrats Hawks!! That was a hard fought game!

Yes, the crowd was chanting her name, and then a huge roar when they accounted Syd was named to the all tournament team. She stuffed the stats, and was incredible the whole tourney.
 
I always thought she was quite short. But she is 5'9 and so is McCabe. Syd is 5'11 and always thought she was a little tall 6' or more. Hard to figure things out on TV!!
 
GM has struggled in the regular season, but she has really regained her form late season and BIGC.

That’s why she kept playing. LB has honestly done a masterful job of bringing this team along! And I mean sensational.

She won’t win any coach of the year awards but let’s be honest… Most all the pundits, including our fans believed this was Caitlin Clark’s team with last year’s leftovers. Would she be enough to carry it forward?

All of us, me too, weren’t sure through the 1st 10ish games, though beating K-st the 2nd time and their continued rise in the rankings gave us hints.

But at what I call the; Molly Davis game, 1st IU, I began to see what I was missing. CC was all out of sorts and 2, 1st quarter fouls if I remember right 🤔

Well, they had to really rely on Davis and Martin there for a while and I began to see… These girls are dynamite we can’t see it because Clark is pretty much hands-on in every aspect of the game…

Stuelke who started the year well, finally started getting healthy again and she started ascending and the Penn State game happened…

And Affolter has just been coming on like a lion all year. Who remembers that she played 26 minutes vs Va Tech early in the year?

Had 2pts, but FOURTEEN rebounds, 4 offensive, 2 stls and ONE turnover…WOW!!

Even O’Grady is coming around!!!

Marshall has been on FIRE the last 2weeks!
 
She had a huge block again last night - similar to the Big10 tourney....

The WV guard blew by her more times than i could count last night Loved her tenacity before half though. It was getting in their heads big time.

The great thing about the M&M girls is that they don't let offensive struggles, and there were plenty for both last night, impact the rest of their game.

The girl works hard on defense, but would like to see her hunt her shot a bit more,.. Glad she's a Hawk, we're lucky to have her...
