Iowa State PG Keshon Gilbert will miss March Madness game vs Lipscomb
Lipscomb basketball, a No. 14 seed in the NCAA tournament, can use all the help it can get against No. 3 seed Iowa State, and news that the Cyclones will be without second-leading scorer Keshon Gilbert may play right into the Bisons' hands.
Gilbert, who averages 13.4 points and a team-high 4.1 assists, was ruled out for the NCAA tournament Sunday by coach T.J. Otzelberger due to a strained groin.
Lipscomb (25-9) and Iowa State (24-9) play at 12:30 p.m. (CST) Friday in Milwaukee in the South Region.
Gilbert, an All-Big 12 third-team selection, is a 6-foot-4 senior transfer from UNLV. He also averaged 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 28 starts.
Otzelberger also delivered some good news for the Cyclones. He said Tamin Lipsey, a junior guard from Ames, Iowa, who suffered a groin injury in a game against Cincinnati in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament, will likely be able to play against Lipscomb.
