Impressive double-double Gilbert registered 15 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and three steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 78-67 victory over Kansas State.

Impact Wednesday marked Gilbert's third game with double-digit points and rebounds this season with the 13 rebounds representing a career-high for the 6'4" junior guard. Backcourt-mate Tamin Lipsey returned from a one-game absence but while he struggled, Gilbert excelled on both ends, adding three steals to go along with his impressive offensive output. Gilbert had seen his shot production drop over the first three conference games to just 6.7 per game, but over the last three, he's averaged 13 shots from the floor, shooting 18-for-39 (46.2%). During this most recent stretch, Gilbert has averaged 17.0 points per game, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 steals in 34.0 minutes of action per contest.

Leads team in losing effort Gilbert ended with 16 points (6-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 87-72 loss to BYU.

Impact Gilbert scored 12 of his team-leading 16 points in the second half but the Cyclones came up short in Provo. Iowa State's second-leading scorer had struggled to start Big-12 play, averaging just 6.7 points but he tossed up 15 shots on a night the Cyclones struggled from the field. Also of note is that he posted just one assist which is a season-low total for the junior wing. He has combined this season with point guard Tamin Lipsey to form one of the best backcourts in the country, with each averaging more than 13 points, four rebounds and four assists while also contributing multiple steals on the defensive end in nine of 17 games. Lipsey left Tuesday's game late with a shoulder injury and while early indications are that it's not serious, Gilbert may be asked to step up even more if Lipsey does happen to miss any action.

Logs triple-double Sunday Gilbert racked up 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, 11 assists and four steals in 31 minutes during Sunday's 85-70 victory over New Hampshire.

Impact Considering Gilbert scored just four points in a matchup 10 days earlier, this was an exceptional bounceback for the breakout junior guard. Rarely does a transfer from a mid-major to power conference go this well, as Gilbert is now on pace for career highs in scoring (14.4 ppg), assists (4.9 apg) and rebounds (4.7 rpg), in addition to shooting percentage (47.2). The only concern here is that the Cyclones have played one of the weaker non-conference schedules and came up empty in arguably their two toughest tests against Virginia Tech and Texas A&M. They'll see much more difficult opponents each night when Big 12 play begins, which for Iowa State lands Saturday at Oklahoma.
