The status of Curtis Jones and Keshon Gilbert ahead of Tuesday night’s Big 12 Conference contest between Iowa State and Oklahoma State is unknown at this time.

Both Jones and Gilbert missed the Top 10 showdown at Houston over the weekend. Jones was out with an illness while Gilbert was out with a muscle strain.

According to Eugene Rapay, both remain day-to-day but will travel with the Cyclones (21-6, 11-5) as they head to Stillwater, Okla.

Curtis Jones (illness) and Keshon Gilbert (muscle strain) are day-to-day, but both will be traveling with @CycloneMBB today as they head to Oklahoma State for a game tomorrow night.

Both guys missed Saturday's game v. Houston, but Jones will be traveling with the team this time.
