Living in NY, the MSG game v Penn State was the only one I was able to attend this season Kelly stole the headlines with the last second double free throws, but Gapare was the real culprit making the Nittany Lions fans, literally, sobbing while exiting after the final buzzer. He played 28 minutes, made 7 of 16 FG, including 3 of 6 treys. Only 1 turnover & stayed out of foul trouble. Half of his rebounds were offensive.A 6-foot-9, 206-pound wing, Gapare is still working and striving and yearning to break out as a difference-maker. The Yellow Jackets are waiting for that to happen, too.
But there have been flashes of brilliance already from the New Zealander.
He had 20 points and six rebounds in Tech’s double-overtime win against Penn State in December, a performance that turned heads at Madison Square Garden. A week later Gapare scored nine points, blocked four shots and grabbed seven rebounds in a victory at Hawaii.
