Title: Kinsella
Post by: muhoosier260 on November 17, 2006, 10:12:12 AM
I'm not exactly sure the word on Kinsella's health (he seems to be an old man in the regards that he constantly has a nagging knee injury) but let's hope he gets some time against eastern michigan to get him in the groove, he could play an important role against texas tech and would be huge against a potential duke matchup, if he's healthy that is. anyone know the word on him, didn't he have a stellar performance in the kansas state scrimmage and halloween hoops? i remember reading something about crean saying that kinsella understands his role, ie letting new guys in hayward, cubillan and blackledge get experience, but let the big man get in there and throw his size around!!!!

Yeah, in the last post-game, TC made it sound like he wasn't playing Kinsella because other people on the team needed to get some playing time (and had talked to Kinsella about this).  BUT, I don't quite understand how he's going to jump back into the lineup with almost no game time to date - or even if crean intends to give him many minutes. If someone can elaborate on this, I'd love to understand it...

The reality is that Mike will probably play against players of his height (ala Gray & Hibbert )?  Otherwise, he does not seem to fit the system?  Guess he's the 11th man on an 11 man team.  Someone has to be that person.
