Will this be the big season for Amber Gaston? The long 6-2 forward has shown some flashes over the past two years. Her biggest game as a freshman was a 21-point performance against North Texas on 50-percent shooting. That year she averaged 7.7 points per game. Last season her numbers dipped a bit as her minutes decreased but she did have some promising moments. Gaston debuted her sophomore season with a 10-point effort on 4-5 shooting, with six rebounds against Big Ten foe Iowa. She also rocked Western Michigan with 19 points on 8-10 shooting in 27 minutes of action. Perhaps the coolest bit of info on Gaston is that she is a two-time Conference USA Commissioner's Honor Roll honoree.
