About: Gibson returns for his senior season after finishing second on the team in rebounds per game (5.4) last year, his first on the Hill. He played in 21 games last season starting six for the Cats. He came to the Hill after one season at the University of Wyoming. Gibson averaged nearly two rebounds per minute played. In 2009 at Delgado Community College, Gibson led the nation in rebounds averaging 14.6 rebounds per game. He had a season-high 31 rebounds in one contest at Delgado CC where he earned conference and region all-tournament team honors.

Barkley on Gibson: “Brian is a throwback, back to the basket type center. I think he brings maturity, strength, knowledge of the game and willingness to play the team way which will help us on both ends of the floor. His biggest asset is on the defensive end; a couple years ago in junior college he led the country in rebounding.”
