“Iowa State's Keshon Gilbert (muscle strain) is being listed as day-to-day prior to the Big 12 Tournament, per a school spokesman,” Jon Rothstein said in a post. “DNP on Saturday at Kansas State. Averages 13.8 PPG.”

Senior guard Curtis Jones said he and Gilbert are like best friends so they were glad to be back together laughing during practice. ISU forward Joshua Jefferson said it was “really good” to have Gilbert return to practice.
