I don't know why Kurt is starting either. No score, no rebound, no defense = 0 production. Articles keep saying he does other things.....I call BS

Put Huelsgirl on the frakin bench. He is an embarressment to the program. Is Towson State a D-I program? If not, then Huelsgirl will have a great game. Huelsgirl is a D-III player.
