Junior Tamin Lipsey was named to the all-Big 12 third team while also being named to the Big 12 all-Defensive Team.

Senior Keshon Gilbert rounded out Iowa State’s selections by being named to the all-Big 12 third team.

Jones is the third Cyclone to be named the Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year, joining Tyrus McGee (2013) and Lindell Wigginton (2019). Jones is the first player in Big 12 history to be named the Sixth Man of the Year while also being selected to the first team.

In league play, Jones averaged 17.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

Jefferson became Iowa State’s 12th selection to the Big 12 all-Newcomer Team, while it marks the fourth-straight year a Cyclone has been named to the team. Jefferson was the second-leading scorer for the Cyclones in Big 12 play at 13.5 points, while leading the Cyclones with 7.0 rebounds per game.

Lipsey and Gilbert are the first Cyclones since Rasir Bolton in 2020 and 2021 to earn all-conference honors in back-to-back seasons. Lipsey is the sixth Cyclone in school history, and third in the last three years, to be named to the Big 12 all-Defensive Team. Lipsey was also named to the team last season, becoming the first player in school history to be named to the all-defensive team twice. Lipsey averaged 10.9 points, 2.8 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game in Big 12 play this season.

Gilbert missed three conference games but finished with the third-best scoring average on the team in league play at 11.9 points per game.
