UNC guard Joel Berry injures hand, out around 4 weeks

Well of course he'll be back for our game. EVERYONE gets healthy before a Michigan game.

True, but I think it's very likely that his shooting will be dramatically affected by this for a decent amount of time after it technically heals. I like our matchup against this particular UNC team if Joel Berry can't shoot.

Not gonna make too big a deal over this game regardless of outcome. B-ball season is determined in February and March not November

Sure, but the eventual path that you must walk come March can be made a great deal easier by what you do in November and December. Taking down the reigning champions looks almost as good on a basketball résumé as a Michigan degree does on a standard résumé.

I’ve been fooled by teams making a run in November/December or stinking in November/December and then the opposite happens later in the season. Last season the team didn’t start to really gel together until late January so i won’t put any emphasis on this game. I am excited for b-ball season to start imma enjoy every moment

Regardless of whether he plays or not, as long as Michigan doesn't get blown out of the arena a loss won't hurt that much. Going on the road with a relatively unproven team to play the defending national champions is a tough proposition.
No one expects Michigan to win that game, so a strong showing in Chapel Hill would bode well for when they open the conference slate. Of course, if they manage to win all bets are off.

Hopefully he's too tired to hit a game winning 3 due to not playing a 40 minute game since March

I forgot other sports existed.
October 23rd, 2017 at 3:44 PM ^
The football team is making me remember other sports rather quickly.

October 23rd, 2017 at 5:29 PM ^
until we beat MSU and OSU.
October 24th, 2017 at 12:06 AM ^
until we beat them. it's sad hour until then.

HTF has he not graduated or gone pro???
Seems like he's been playing for 7 years.
October 23rd, 2017 at 7:31 PM ^
I was thinking, is he a left or right guard, and why should we care? Now I get it.
