Large output in exhibition game Gibbs-Lawhorn posted 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3PT, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists during Sunday's 91-74 exhibition game loss to Mississippi. Impact Gibbs-Lawhorn saw 22 minutes of action off the bench in his first look with the Fighting Illini ahead of the 2024-25 season, making the most of his opportunity. The 6-foot-1 sophomore, who averaged 2.4 points, 0.9 rebounds and 0.4 assists on just 7.1 minutes per game last season (28 games), looks primed for a massive uptick in production with Illinois this season.
