Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 2465720, member: 7171"] So it is snowing, and not much planned today anyhow. So why not see how Gabby`s stats last year through eight games compare to the current season? Last year`s ND game is included, it was game 8. UConn had a tough early schedule last season, roughly similar to this season. Minutes: 26.8 per game this year versus 28.5 last year, a slight decrease. Only played 17 this year versus ND, that is sufficient explanation. FG: 38-68 this year, 38-75 last year. Similar. FT 10-15 this year, 14-20 last year. Comparable. Rebounds: 17/42/59, average 7.4 last year; 12/54/66, average 8.3 this year. Comparable, slight edge overall this year. Fouls: 17 last year, 16 this year. Assists: 38 last year, 31 this year. Slight edge last year, about one per game. Turnovers: 22 last year, 33 this year. Big differential this year, more than one per game. Worth noting that she turned it over 7 times against DePaul this season, but turned it over 6 times against them last season. Also had a 5 turnover game against LSU last season (one of the eight counted), so she is prone to bad games in that regard. She had a whopping 10 turnovers against Maryland this year, but in that game she also had 15 points, 11 rebounds and 5 steals. Blocks: 7 last year, 3 this year. Steals: 19 last year, 20 this year. Points: 91 last year, average 11.4; 86 this year, average 10.8. Close. (She ended up averaging 14.3 ppg last season.) So, make of these what you will, numbers are never the whole story. However, I find them somewhat reassuring. Despite migrane issues, adjusting to a somewhat different role at times, and a couple of very high turnover games this season, her numbers (other than the turnovers) are fairly comparable to last season at this point. Let`s just hope the migranes stop. [/QUOTE]
