Big game by Gabe, especially after struggling w/ shot early. Needs to take care of the completely unforced turnovers though. That travel after the shot clock reset was a complete headscratcher for a senior to make.
Kalscheur looks to be a good player

I was surprised he turned it around in-game like tonight. It was clear from his first couple of shots - one of which that went off the top of the backboard - that he was still thinking too much on his shot. I don't know who said what to him, but he figured it out mid game. When someone is in an extended slump that is extremely tough to do.
Gabe is good for at least one corner three that will hit the side of the backboard
not sure how that happens but at least he got something going tonight to help him dig his way out of the funk.

Sorry, I hate to do this to you I really do. But some times you should left click, drag, delete instead of hitting post reply. Your comment was one of those times.
That was a clean take from a position he commonly shoots and his hit from before. Just happened to push it a few inches.
Not gonna make them all, but that was a perfectly reasonable shot to take.
Maybe he was saying that it is in kind of poor taste to bag on a guy who went 4 of 9 from the arc including that shot. They aren't all going to go in and his 4 3s and defense helped keep ISU in this game. And it wasn't wide open for long. KU had a long player making a hard closeout on the shot.

Gabe had a huge game and took a step in the right direction for him being an offensive weapon we need. 35 minutes and 14 points while continuing to be one of the best defenders on the court. Yet you elected to comment and focus on his last shot attempt.
The guy has had serious confidence issues lately and took a big step forward last night. Expecting him to make that shot is unfair given the circumstances imo
More times than not a player in that situation is not going to knock it down. Whether you "have to" or not.
I took the L for jumping the gun on this and have updated the thread title, please respect my decision.
I saw Michael Jordan miss a couple of those....
Bad take or not, I think you should put it back to what it was. I would respect that more.
I was thinking the same thing when I saw this
The thing is if you are a competitor you want that chance to take a game winning shot and I thought he had a good look to take that shot too. Had he made it we'd be here today praising what a great game he had and what a great shot he took but instead it appears some here want to focus on him missing it and finding flaw in it. I would have been more frustrated had he passed up that shot and tried to pass the ball quick for someone to chuck up a bad desperation shot. My guess is Hunter wanted to drive the lane for the last shot but when they shut down his path to the rim and he saw Gabe open he made the correct decision to kick it to the open shooter instead of getting blocked or forcing up a tough shot.
Gabe's first 2 shots of the night were ugly but glad he found some confidence and I'd gladly take 4-9 3 point shooting from him any game. There is no point in kicking him over missing a game winner when he had his best game in over a month offensively.
I wouldn't say wide open, but certainly a good look for a last minute shot. A three at the end of very physical game is not an easy shot. Gabe was probably pretty much worn out at that point in the game. Great effort by the team last night. The Phog is a nightmare most nights.
Yes good to see a more controlled Gabe come out of his slump a bit. I think he plays better when he doesn't try to do too much. He is not the one on one player that Brockington can be. His play of late is showing the coaching he is receiving. Let the others do most of the playmaking, be ready to take your shot when open and in rhythm.
I personally think the thread title should have been changed long ago as it was very premature.
