Looks like her shooting elbow has been uncharacteristically floating out at times this season. I'm sure it's frustrating for her, she just needs to keep shooting. Gabbie is what she is (a spot up 3 point shooter who does give good effort on defense).
right now, who do you want in for a defensive stop then 3 point shot. Affolter or marshall? My concern is: did she put in as much work and film as she did going into her senior season last year? Did she look at this year as if it was, already earned, so no need to work as hard as before? I have no clue. But something needs to change.
Her defense is not a detriment to the team. She's usually guarding the best player on the other team. She had a rough outing defensively against Nebraska but once in 25 games is pretty good.
Why do people post this kind of stuff? Since when has high level bball ever been nice? As a matter of fact in the late 60’s and 70’s there were more brawls in college bball than they ever have now. The fact of the matter is she’s just plain lost her confidence. She also got beat for some key offensive rebounds the other night. Puts the coach in a tough position as she’s been through a lot together with Bluder and I think Lisa believes she can get it back. But passing up wide open 3’s and not really being the defensive stopper some think she is hurts us. Not sure what you do at this point.
I would play Feuerbach and McCabe more in the 1st and 2nd Qtrs and let them find their confidence so if needed you can feel confident as a coach to take a chance on them in the 4th when, not if, Gabbie is nonexistent on offense.
There's been a game or two when she made 4 or so and you think SHE'S BACK...then the next game she goes 0-6
Agree… she has the form and the ability …There's been a game or two when she made 4 or so and you think SHE'S BACK...then the next game she goes 0-6
She has the form in more ways than one 😮
It seems a shame we won't see what McCabe could bring until her junior year. Why she hasn't gotten major minutes in some of those blowouts is a mystery.
I have wondered why coaches don't sub for someone that is having an off night and try someone else? It can change with each game or each half. Sit someone that is cold and give another player a chance.There's been a game or two when she made 4 or so and you think SHE'S BACK...then the next game she goes 0-6
But as others have mentioned, Kylie is a darned good defender and at least provides a threat offensively.
McCabe will be a starter next year and finally get to prove herself. I don't question many of Bluder's decisions but I think she has stuck with Marshall too long waiting for her to come out of her funk. Taylor was recruited for her ability to drain the 3 as she had a career and state best 389 treys in high school. If Iowa has a chance in the postseason something needs to change.
Kylie is good on defense but she is turnover prone every time she touches the ball. What does she average 4 points.
I thought she'd leave after last year. I'm sure it's hard to walk away from a team that made the finals and I'm guessing the coaches gave her the "every spot is open for competition" talk. The fact that she hasn't played this year stinks.....I would guess she plays 20+ minutes/game next year....
Yeah that's not good, Gabby we love ya but it's time to ride the pine. That number and the 0-37 doesn't cut it and is actually hard to believe
Agree. I honestly don't how you can go 0-37 in 10 games. You could literally be blind folded and atleast make 1, maybe even 2.
Probably both. This is a much better team if someone is hitting well from 3 and usually it's gabby in the game. If she happens to be hitting well this team is hard to beat. She's probably only had 2-3 good shooting games this year, that's a problem. McCabe needs to be in there more, she is much more consistent. She rarely misses when she's shots it seems
having a guard that only can shoot three's really limits your options
Gee when I said this 2 months ago I was told I don’t watch any games.
I'd been told that as well. Hopefully last night was a permanent step in the right direction.
