Does Gibson get ROW?

He should. Though UNCW’s Shykeim Phillips has 17 and 14 points last week. Another potential Towson player. We’ll see him on Thursday.

I will say, I predicted at least one of these for him at the beginning of the year!

Towson's Jason Gibson Named CAA Rookie Of The Week

 

TOWSON, Md. – Towson University freshman guard Jason Gibson was selected as the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Rookie of the Week Monday morning.

 

It’s Gibson’s first career CAA honor. 

Gibson had a huge week in helping Towson extend its winning streak to a season-high six games. In road wins over Elon and William & Mary last week, Gibson averaged 17 points per game, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals on 61.1 percent (11-for-18) shooting. He also made 5 of 8 3-pointers (62.5 percent). 

Gibson scored 13 points and grabbed three rebounds in a 72-61 victory over Elon. He made a 3-pointer during the Tigers’ decisive 11-0 game-ending run. Two days later, in a critical victory over first-place William & Mary, Gibson scored a career high 21 points and tied a season best with three 3-pointers in 35 minutes. 

The Tigers never trailed against the Tribe. Gibson’s 3-poimnter with nine minutes remaining in the first half gave the Tigers the lead for good, 24-21. 

Gibson has been a steadying force during the Tigers winning streak. He has scored in double figures in three of Towson’s last four games. During Towson’s winning streak, the Tigers are limiting teams on defense to 37.7 percent shooting. Towson is making 48.3 percent of its shots during the streak. 

For the season, Gibson has scored in double figures seven times. He’s third on the Tigers with 39 assists and 25 3-pointers. 

In addition, senior guard Brian Fobbs was named to the CAA honor roll for the second consecutive week after leading Towson in scoring in both of its wins last week, averaging 18.5 points while going 11-for-19 from the field. In Thursday’s win at Elon, Fobbs recorded 20 points, knocking down 4-of-5 3-point attempts. 

The performances of Gibson and Fobbs helped Towson lift its overall record to 12-9 and conference mark at 6-3. Towson is in a three-way tie for second place with Hofstra and College of Charleston, one game behind William & Mary.
