The epitome of a self made man. Just kept working. 100% a tone setter for TJ's start at Iowa State. Couldn't ask for a harder worker.

He got mad about a couple calls, but he mostly looked resigned to the butt whooping his team was receiving.
Can we please have more respect for Gilbert? Yes he had a bad game against Va Tech. He dominated every other game and the first half of Texas A&M, DePaul, and Iowa tonight. He’s not an “up and down” player. He had 1 bad game and a bad half when every ISU player had a bad half.
Wooee What A Dinger...
They are looking better and better with each game. Watching an offence that works under the basket is a lot more fun than the 3pt shots of years past. They did not slow down until about 10 minutes left in the game. Perhaps should have pushed to the end, but did not need to as the Hickeyes were obviously tired/depressed.

What a great job by TJ and co. Really impressive gameplan and execution. Usually when Iowa slaps on the zone it takes a couple possessions to attack. These guys just shredded it from the jump. I know isn’t good defensively, but that was a masterclass in scouting, prep and game planning.
I did notice he was wearing his bottom warmups in the second half. Can’t remember if he did in the first half. He knew he wasn’t going in. No clue what it means but he was engaged the entire time from what I saw.
I too would like to see him play more. I do not know the dynamic going on at the moment, coaches/player.
I can only hope that good things are in store for Omaha at ISU.
If that’s the case and Omaha is on board, I’ve seen how this staff has developed Big Rob, Gabe, and some others to know that he’s in good hands.
I was in the house tonight and it was a blast. Good energy. The place was rockin at times, but honestly it was just kind of a party atmosphere because we controlled it from the start. Gilbert's a stud, and BRE should go down as an all time fan favorite. Really just a fantastic night of basketball. Oh, and as always, **** the Hawks!
Playing time will hopefully work out. I mean look at Pav. He wasn’t playing at all up by 40-50 and now 5 games later he is a huge piece of this team.
I have always been a big fan of Rob from the beginning, even back when he was air-banking 3 footers and bricking FTs.
He truly shines on the post game interviews also. Just a lot to like about him.
Lips is going to be a pro. He just glides around out there. Crazy athlete.
From the Go **** Iowa Awesome forum
At one point he was screaming "9 to 2" at the refs when Iowa had had 9 fouls called on them to 2 on us. Savage Eric Heft said something like "well that's what happens when you commit more fouls". Legend
