Anyone know when we'll be getting a firm status update on Gessell? All this tourney talk has me hoping he can play in Indy.
If he does get cleared to play, I would personally still like to see Dev stay at the point and bring Mike in for scoring at the #2 guard. I know folks don't consider Dev a "true" point but one cannot argue with his production last season and now again this year over the last couple of games as I just think he needs to start with the ball in his hands opposed to coming off rub screens, etc where Mike seems to be much more active without the ball and able to set his man up similar to what Gatens did last season plus he gives us a much needed scoring threat from beyond the arc.
As big of a Gesell fan that I am, I have to agree. I would almost rather see him at SG or back up. But I do want him back to minimize Oglesbys minutes.
Didn't see Oglesthree win the ball game for us last night, eh chap?
Fran is saying Mike is out of the boot and riding the bike. He's going to start to run and shoot over the weekend. Fran then says "I'm guarded that Gessell will be ready for Thursday at BTT"
I would rather Fran saved him for Friday. Iowa should be able to take care of business without him on Thursday and going back to back games may be a little to much.
