Gabbie became the subject of criticism but Caitlin Clark defended her teammate and complimented her for contributing to the game.
“Gabbie Marshall comes up with big plays all the time, you see it time and time again for us,” Caitlin Clark said. “She doesn’t get enough credit.”
“And I thought Gabbie played great defense on her. When Paige made tough baskets, Gabbie responded, kept guarding her. I’m really proud of her and I’m proud of our group for just being able to flip the page and move on to the next play.”
