It’s time we talk about Gabe

[Drew0311]

Idk about way above. They are kind of similar. Just bulldogs on defense and were all around great players. Babb was such a boss. Gabe is above him, but not in a different stratosphere.

Babb is just in the rear view so everyone forgets how good he was for us.

I am ecstatic for our team -Gabe, Holmes, and Grill were out of this world!!

Leading rebounder Tamin Lipsey!

 

[CtownCyclone]

78-74 and encouraging Kansas State to miss the 2nd of the 3 free throws was certainly an idea.

That and the "write your congressperson" on the clock review was certainly something.

 

[JP4CY]

He's so damn good on both ends. Just a smart guy out there.

I don't know, I think that idea had its merits

 

[AllInForISU]

I’m here to eat my crow. I said he would suck, and I was wrong. Thanks for proving me wrong Gabe. Couldn’t be happier that I was. Just please avoid the sides of the backboard the rest of the season.

 

[ISUTex]

As one of the best guards not just in the Big 12, but in the entire country.

Also a couple shoutouts are in order:

1. Holmes for having a big game when Grill couldn’t be anything more than a decoy for most of the night.
2. Grill for being the toughest SOB on the floor tonight and hitting a big shot even with his back injury.

Gabe is a stud. End of discussion.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

Can we talk about Bob Jones

 

[ISUTex]

He's starting to remind me of Justus Thigpen, with better defense.

 

[ClonerJams]

Gabe has now entered the Chris Babb level on the transfer totem pole

I love Babb, but he's above him. I'd say Will Clyburn level if we're ranking transfers.

 

[AllInForISU]

Can we talk about Bob Jones

The college or the basketball player? I think both would be hot button subjects.

 

[ISUTex]

Can we talk about Bob Jones

Yes. His minutes need to go to more than 10 a game. Get the most out of him in those 10. Especially when Jaz gets back.

 

[fcclone]

Can we talk about Bob Jones

No. Go back and read game thread.

Can we talk about Bob Jones

no

 

[cyatheart]

Not sure I can think of a guy that has improved this much. He’s the Big 12 player of the year right now. He never gets tired, shuts everyone down. Just a fantastic player.

 

[cyatheart]

Yes. His minutes need to go to less than 10 a game. Get the most out of him in those 10. Especially when Jaz gets back.

10 might be too many.

 

[twincyties]

He, of course, won’t get that because he plays at Iowa State, but his performance in conference should force the discussion.

 

[SeventhSon]

I can't think of a single player from any school improving in so many facets in one year while playing at such high level.

Just amazing.

 

[twincyties]

Have they even shown this on Sports Center? Only top 10 match up of the night and just showed highlights of 2 SEC and 2 Big 10 match ups between unranked teams.
