Top Players So Far

Top 10 10. Jack Gibbs, Davidson How many guys can say they play on a 7-1 team who's only loss is on the road against North Carolina, while averaging over 25 PPG, almost 5 RPG, and over 4 APG, and shooting 54 percent from the field, 37.5 percent from three and 83 percent from the line?  If you guessed Jack Gibbs, you are correct.  Gibbs may not be the most well known college basketball player in the world, but he is one of the best players in the country. 9.
