well that stinks! I wonder if Levert will get the start?
December 29th, 2012 at 6:13 PM ^
For this news to hit the board. Impressive...
December 29th, 2012 at 6:13 PM ^
Hopefully he can get healthy for Big Ten play. While we should have enough firepower to take care of NW without him, road games in the Big Ten are tough enough without losing one of your top guys. I suspect we'll see some combination of Vogrich/Levert taking up his minutes unless Beilein wants to slide GRIII over and play two posts.
December 29th, 2012 at 6:22 PM ^
Noooooooo
December 29th, 2012 at 6:23 PM ^
Any time frame on his recovery or is it being classified as one of those day-to-day sort of injuries? Obviously need him for B1G play.
December 29th, 2012 at 6:24 PM ^
Hopefully they won't need him tonight. I'd rather he take an extra few days and make sure he's 100% for conference play.

Not sure what Horford's status is, but that might keep us from playing 2 bigs at the same time. I wouldn't be surprised is Vogrich starts to take the pressure off Levert and allowing him to stay in his role as a bench player.

I have no clue, but has THJr ever missed a game? He probably had a pretty solid streak going.
December 29th, 2012 at 6:32 PM ^
This snaps an 81-game streak of his
December 29th, 2012 at 6:28 PM ^
it's not one of those high ankle, lingering sprains.
I'd like to see GRIII or Nik move to SG and play 2 Bigs just to see how it looks as a starting unit
December 29th, 2012 at 6:36 PM ^
We're going to need to work on a 2 bigs lineup at some point. We'll need it for teams like Sparty with Nix & Payne. I think Coach B knows that, but Horford can't stay healthy long enough to work that lineup in.

According to Nick Baumgardner, Hardaway looks fine, is walking without a limp, but wearing a suit out on the floor.
December 29th, 2012 at 6:49 PM ^
If this were a bigger game he might be playing from what it sounds like. Lets chalk this one up to having quality depth and getting healthy for the gauntlet that's called the Big Ten.
December 29th, 2012 at 6:46 PM ^
Also, on an unrelated note, I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but Amadeo Della Valle has to be who Sideshow Bob was modeled after, right? Finally saw some closeups during the OSU game and it's unreal the resemblance.

Right. Since he was born after the Simpsons began
December 29th, 2012 at 7:15 PM ^
Jokes. You must hate them.
December 29th, 2012 at 7:49 PM ^
Actually the Simpsons started in 1989, which is 4 years before he was born. So HA. What now?
December 29th, 2012 at 6:51 PM ^
Looks like Levert will get the start.

I hope THJ is ready for the next game, but at least we got to see a demonstration of Michigan's depth this year. This Michigan team has as many scoring options as any I have seen in the Maize and Blue, including the NCAA Championship teams and the Fab Five.
