You're out of your mind if you don't think losing Marble will hurt. He's one of the few guys on the team who can create his own shot.
Agree, Iowa is going to be in deep trouble next year with not a single person on the roster who can create their own shots.

Think Fran is sitting Gesell at the end of games this year so he's fresh for next season.
Not really. Just because Fran chose to build his team the old fashioned way, doesn't exclude him from taking on transfers, nor is it a battle of good vs evil, right vs wrong. You cannot be this ignorant in real life, can you?Really hope not. Total admission of failure and a capitulation that Fred Hoiberg and the clowns were right all along.
Marble is currently shooting .419% from the field. Not from 3, FROM THE FIELD. Some guys shoot that well from beyond the arc. If you put up that many shoots per game, some of them are bound to fall. He also averages 2 turnovers a game, and seems to have them at the worst times. I'll be glad to see somebody else get a chance at the end of games next season, because time and time again, Marble has proved that he is NOT clutch, whatsoever. The guy has never made a game-winning or trying shot at the end of regulation, but Fran keeps going to him at the end of games for some reason.
I know I'm not in the majority here, but I'm not that worried. I won't miss his terrible shooting percentage or terrible turnovers very much. At least somebody else will be given a shot, because Marble has proved that is just doesn't have it (being clutch).
Minnesota fell off the face of the Earth last year in their last 10 going 3-7 and still got in, after starting 17-5. I wouldn't worry too much about not getting in.Maybe the 2nd Michigan game was the peak and it's time to rebuild for 4 years to try and get in the tourney. One consideration the committee makes is last 10 games., we are playing like garbage right now. If we don't get in, could see Fran move on without ever making one at Iowa.
Ah, Gabe.Agree, Iowa is going to be in deep trouble next year with not a single person on the roster who can create their own shots.

I don't think losing Marble hurts the team as much as we think it does. He has been below average many more times this year than he has been good. I feel as if sometimes he ruins team chemistry with his inability to hit the open man and turnover the ball in the lane. No offense to him but if you shoot 20 shots a game you need to be scoring 30 points. He only scores 20 so a 1:1 ratio which is not good. I think his loss with be negative in a way but also brings a positive.

FAIL
I agree here totally. Kid has a great skill set, but don't count on it in the clutch. How many games is it now in the last 2 seasons have we watched the hawks flop like dieing fish in the last 90 seconds of a close game and I can't recall one instance where we got anyone to hit a game changing shot. Close game at 90 seconds or less = us losing in the last 2 seasons.
