Iowa State's Keshon Gilbert Out for NCAA Tournament Due to Injury

The Cyclones' senior guard and second-leading scorer will miss the tournament after re-aggravating a groin injury sustained earlier in the season.

Keshon Gilbert, Iowa State's senior guard, has been ruled out of the NCAA tournament after re-aggravating a groin injury during the Big 12 Tournament.
Gilbert, a two-time All-Big 12 honoree, averaged 13.4 points, 4.1 assists, and 31.6 minutes per game this season, making him a key player for the Cyclones.
The injury marks the end of Gilbert's collegiate career, as he had been battling the issue for several weeks and missed four of the team's last seven games.
Iowa State, the No. 3 seed in the South Region, will face No. 14 Lipscomb in the first round of the tournament on Friday in Milwaukee.
Coach T. J. Otzelberger confirmed that junior guard Tamin Lipsey, another All-Big 12 honoree, is expected to return from a lower-body injury for the tournament.
