This may have been discussed in another thread, but I didn't see it.
Does anyone know Hinrich's status?
Thanks & GL today

Kirk Hinrich
- Thread starter bosco
- Start date
One member of his team who might not be playing is Hinrich, who sprained his left ankle late in the first half Thursday. X-rays were negative, but the 6-foot-3 junior did not participate in Friday's practice and even teammate Nick Collison said it was "doubtful" Hinrich could play.
"Last night, I thought he had absolutely no chance," Williams said Friday. "He says it feels better and he is walking without a limp, but I can't believe what he tells me."
Without Hinrich, there would be added pressure on the Jayhawks' talented big men to perform. All-American Drew Gooden had a strong opening game with 19 points and 13 rebounds, but Collison was limited to five points and committed six turnovers.
Hinrich, who is tied with Collison for second on the team in scoring and is second in assists, would be replaced in the starting lineup by Keith Langford. The freshman guard scored nine points in 31 minutes Thursday.

i doubt Hinrich will be very effective today......Kansas needs to hope they can slide by Stanford and that he will be ready for next week......Boschee is also hobbled by a bad wheel and has not been himself the last 2 games......
