BASKETBALL ***RELEASE: Lipsey, Gilbert Earn Blue Ribbon Preseason Honors***

Iowa State Media Relations

AMES, Iowa - A pair of Iowa State men's basketball players have earned preseason honors from Blue Ribbon Basketball Yearbook. Tamin Lipsey and Keshon Gilbert were each named to the five player All-Big 12 Preseason Team, while Lipsey was named a Third Team Preseason All-American. The Cyclones were picked to finish second in the league behind Kansas.

The pair were each named All-Big 12 last season, with Lipsey being named to the first team and Gilbert to the second team. Lipsey and Gilbert, along with Milan Momcilovic were named to the Big 12 Championship All-Tournament Team, where Gilbert was named the MVP as the Cyclones won the title for the fifth time in the last 10 years.

Only four players in the country averaged at least 12.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.0 steals per game last season, with Lipsey and Gilbert accounting for two of the four. They were the first duo in NCAA Division I Men's Basketball history to each average those numbers in the same season.

Iowa State opens the 2024-25 campaign Nov. 4 at Hilton Coliseum against Mississippi Valley State.

Trump fundraising gala in support of Jan. 6 rioters postponed (Awwww)

Donald, (I find disgusting things to support) Trump had to postpone this gala in Tennessee because of a scheduling conflict. And in case you STILL think this douchebag is righteous, one of the hostesses of this gala was scheduled to be Sara McAbee, wife of Ron McAbee, who was convicted of 6 felonies and one misdemeanor after Jan. 6 and is currently serving a prison term. McAbee bought special gloves just for the Stop the Steal rally well in advance of it. These gloves contained built in brass knuckles. He was wearing a bullet proof vest with a 3 percent sticker on it. Look up the three percenters if you still think Jan. 6 was a peaceful protest by patriots. They are the opposite of patriots. McAbbe participated in the assault on one capitol police officer and slugged another in the face with his brass knuckle gloves.

This is who YOUR presidential candidate is supporting.

For Those Attending Yesterday's Game

Was it just me?
....or did you also find the woman PR announcer during time outs extremely irritating? Her high shrill voice and over exuberance x 100 was annoying.

Recommendations:
1. Require her to take Debbie Downers before game time
OR
2. Lower the speaker volume to near zero while she speaks
OR
3. Cut her mike and do close caption on the video board.

That is all.
