A chance for Belton

Look for freshman forward Kenny Belton to get more playing time tomorrow night at Notre Dame.

Kenny Belton’s a guy that’s been playing well in practice for us," Mick Cronin said. "I've got to find some minutes for him. This oculd be a perfect game for Kenny because he's a physical player. We’re going to need our upfront guys to hold their own in this game. This is a game we can't win if we get dominated on the glass in South Bend."

Belton has played only 44 minutes in eight games this season.

i like micks approach with the young guys. he is very tough on them and wont accept anything other than their best effort, but he is also very positive about their development.

mick has to balance the task of trying to win (extremely difficult with this group) with the goal of developing the freshman so they can make a (hopefully) huge impact on this program down the road. those two goals often dont overlap.

comments like these have to reassure belton that his hard work will pay off, which young players dont always see when they first get to colllege (see alvin mitchells rough start).

I wonder, do the players check this blog out?

The players probably would, but they don't have the spare hours to wait for comments to finally be posted...LOL
