Madarious Jaquil Gibbs (born May 7, 1993) is an American basketball player for the Nha Trang Dolphins from the Vietnam Basketball Association (VBA). He played college basketball for Texas Southern Tigers.

Gibbs, a point guard from Newnan, Georgia, played four seasons for TSU, leading the team to back-to-back Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) titles in 2014 and 2015. As a senior in the 2014–15 season, Gibbs was named SWAC Player of the Year[1] and an honorable mention All-American by the Associated Press. Gibbs led the Tigers to the 2015 SWAC Tournament title, earning MVP honors.[2]

Gibbs went undrafted in the 2015 NBA draft. As a means to increase his chances of securing a free agent deal, Gibbs joined his former TSU teammates on a playing tour of China in the Summer of 2015.[3]
