Gilstrap Named Big 12 Rookie of the Week for the fourth time
IRVING, Texas—Iowa State senior forward Marquis Gilstrap picked up his fourth Big 12 Rookie of the Week honor, announced today by the Big 12 Conference. He shared the award with Colorado’s Marcus Relphorde.
Gilstrap won the award thanks to a week in which he averaged 17.5 points and 12.5 rebounds in two games against Texas and Nebraska. Gilstrap, a native of Covington, Ga., posted a double-double in his Big 12 debut vs. No. 1 Texas with 20 points and 13 rebounds. He followed that performance with his second-straight double-double in a 15-point, 12-rebound effort in ISU’s 56-53 win at Nebraska, helping the Cyclones erase a 16-game Big 12 road losing streak.
Gilstrap leads the team in double-doubles with seven and ranks 56th nationally in rebounding at 8.9 rpg.

Fifty-sixth nationally in rebounding? Not bad for a rookie wing!

He's a shoe-in for newcomer of the year honors. Great season for him so far! -

As far as I'm concerned, Gilstrap is our MVP right now. He is more diverse offensively and harder to guard than anyone at this point.

then it is almost certain that he will not get the second year. When has the NCAA done the right thing for ISU? -

"We embrace that challenge and what it presents to us. I’m going to approach all 12 games this way: We’re going to win them all. If we prepare and then go out and execute, we’re going to win all 12. Now how many are we going to end up with at the end of the year? I don’t know, and you’re right, I won’t put a number on it."- Paul Rhoads on having the toughest schedule in the Big 12 -
