Just looked at how Gabe's been playing for the Big12 Conference Games:

3 PT %: 40.9% (47 of 115)
Scoring: 8th at 14.6 a game
FG%: 6th at .417
3pt FG/Game: #3 at 2.4


The offense will go as Gabe goes ... and it's even more obvious that our defense drops significantly when he's off the court.

Going forward, hoping to see the offense work through Gabe more if we can..

What were his stats last year in the Big 12? My perception is that his 3pt shooting has improved a lot.
 
I’d have to go back and figure that out, but my assumption is the same as yours and he improved a lot. He’s back to what he did as a freshman in the Big 10, while taking more on the offensive end and leading on defense.

No stats to back it up, but it seemed like he disappeared during our slump. Might check out his splits later unless someone beats me to it.

The way he defends, he’s a plus player if you can get anything from him on offense. Playing that way, he’s a key player to have on the floor.
 
Ok so it's Sunday afternoon and I didn't have anything else to do. I split the conference season into two groups. Group A spans from the first Baylor game to the second TTU game, and also includes the second Baylor game - our record was 8-3. Group B is bookended by the WVU games - our record was 1-6.

StatGroup AGroup B
FGA12.511.3
FG%46.830.9
3PTA6.06.9
3P%40.135.9
eFG%57.140.4
FTA3.62.3
FT%60.371.4
REB3.12.4
AST1.51.4
BLK0.50.0
STL1.31.1
PF2.83.0
TO1.12.4
PTS16.611.4

So... It looks like over that rough stretch Gabe was shooting less overall but taking more 3s and fewer 2s. He hit both at a lower percentage, and his effective FG% dropped by 17%. He was probably driving less, given that he was attempting fewer FTs. He also turned it over much more. In a stretch of close losses (5 of them by an average of <7 points) that hurts a lot.

I am not saying that Gabe is the reason we lost, but losing his normal production definitely hurt.

I also noticed that two of our Group A losses were immediately following home wins over ranked teams. @OSU came after the home win over #7 Texas, and @TTech came after the home win over #5 KSU. The other loss in that group was @ #2 KU. The Group B losses started after a home win over #8 KU.

Honestly you’d have a tough time finding anyone who played particularly well during that stretch

Tends to back up the notion that he went away from the mid-range game in there and was settling for 3s.

This is why he can't get into foul trouble. Without him on the floor our offense is dog poo

Sure. Typically in basketball you usually need two guys who are consistent scorers and then someone else to have a good game to have a chance to win. Gabe was one of our consistent scorers. Lipsey hasn't been a scorer all season. Grill got hurt and was battling other issues. When Gabe didn't play well offensively there was no one else who stepped up to fill that gap.

Again, not Gabe or anyone else's fault - it's just the team we have this year.

Oh for sure. Gabe has been our rock. I’m gonna miss him next year
 
The switch that flipped offensively for Gabe this year over last year surprised me. He has always been an elite defender but found his shooting touch. It would be good if Randy would ask him what changed for him. Holmes & Gabe determine whether we win a game or not, when they are both dialed in it opens everything up. When they are not, no one else can seem to step up. Maybe King lately.
