Gesell to Play Thursday





Good, get him 10 or so minutes of game action against NW, like that better than the idea of him jumping back in against MSU after not playing for three weeks.
 


I like the idea of keeping the ball in Devyn's hands right now. He's playing his best basketball of the season right now and is in better game shape. No need to play Gesell an extended number of minutes, so give the ball to the player who's going to be out there the majority of the game. I like Gesell coming in at the 2 in spot duty to take advantage of his shooting and allow him to get his feel back. Have to have Gesell's shooting to beat MSU.
 


agree with others that i'd rather Marble and Clemmons handle the workload in the jNW game, and then throw him out there in limited minutes in the MSU game if we don't choke against jNW.

if we don't make the NCAA's (which i don't think we'll do), we'll need him for the NIT games. so while it would be nice to have him back right away, i'd really rather not rush it.

Hopefully limited, don't aggravate anything, will need him more 2nd rd.

Agreed. I hope the medical staff and the coaches know what they're doing. Would hate to see him aggravate this and be gone for the rest of any tournament play, or worse...
 


And I don't want this to be a recurring thing for him because we rushed it and didn't let it heal properly, but I do like the aggressiveness
 








If we want him to be effective against msu we need at least 10 min against nw. Plus if he looks like he can't play then they know and don't play him against msu. If he looks good keep his min down so you don't hurt him but at least we know what we have going into the msu game.
 






Right now I like Marble and Clemmons at the 1. I would use Gesell there only if we are in foul trouble or Clemmons is having a bad game. I like Gesell playing a few minutes at the 2...hot hand between Gesell and Oglesby on a game by game basis. We don't want him doing too much too soon.
 


I hope he doesnt overdo it but i sprain my ankle last winter but i was walking the next day . the more you walk on it or play on it the better it get. So I think he will be fine.

I'm more worried about the next day. That's when it's more likely to be a problem IMO...especially if he over does it.

Do you have reason to doubt the premise that the medical staff is competent? That seems like a misguided consternation.
 


Lets just win Thursday, a touch too much confidence thinking we can just roll through NW. Should we win...absolutely....but let's just take it one game at a time.....

sparing minutes for Mikey G, let's hope we can ease him in and still get a W.
 


It's not like we've lost every game or played poorly since Gesell got hurt. He helps us and I want him back but we can win without him.
