One of the few players who can get to the rim, penetrate, breakdown the defense a little bit (although Wisky put on a clinic today concerning switching players and closing off penetration).

Hawks were down 8 with 5 1/2 to go I think and Gesell on the bench. I just think he should have came back into the game sooner rather than later.

End the end Wisky was too tough on the glass or Iowa was too weak and a normal free throw shooting day by Iowa would have had us a lot closer at the end and not having to foul so much.

Eight more offensive rebounds for Wisky and a few more free throws as most of the other stats were pretty even.

If you told me before the game the hawks shoot 48% with only 8 turnovers I would have said we win unless Wisky did a Mich St and shot 70%. But something was also weird when Iowa shot 64% in the first half and were still down 6-8 points.
 
Gesell hurt his elbow. Fran said he wasn't capable of shooting a 3. I was mad at that decision too before I heard that.
 
True. Fran said it in post game. Said something to the affect of he was worse off than White and Gabe.
 
He probably got clobbered on a layup and no foul was called. Call it into the league head of officials with medical documentation showing how only broken bones lead to foul calls.

The way I understood it is he was hurt before the game. Not 100% on that though.
 
He got hurt during practice on Monday. Didn't really practice all week. That is why he had the sleeve on...he had a hyperextended elbow. It affected his shooting. Even with a bum arm fran sits him too much. He should play 30+ min a game.
 
Gesell and Olaseni were both injured on Monday.

Gesell, when healthy, should play AT LEAST 35 minutes per game.

I'm not sure why Oglesby plays so much
