Creek Out = Michigan's Chances of Dancing Up
Tough break (sorry for the pun) for Indiana, but this really could help Michigan. With two games against IU out of the first five, we really need wins in both to have a shot.

You don't hear of many broken knees. Usually ligaments or at least a mention of the knee cap. I hope he is able to recover fully for next season. Like it or not, the Big 10 needs Indiana to right itself sooner, rather than later.

Can you fracture your knee? Wouldn't you have to fracture your femur, your tibia, your fibula, or some combination of the three? I wasn't aware that the knee is technically a body part.

the knee bone is connected to the thigh bone...

They're probably referring to the Patella.

It didn't look that bad on the replays to be honest. There was a brief buckle but nothing that would have indicated any type of seriousness until he grabbed it in pain. Pretty sure Indiana was up 25 at this point and I don't know why the hell Creek was even at the game at that point although Indiana needs all the wins they can get in non-conference so who knows.

That is the bone in front of the knee joint that protects the joint socket. I'll need to read the medical report to be sure (cue "Trapper John MD" music)

Wins against Indiana probably won't help Michigan get into the tournament. The losses might be too much.

As if beating IU wasn't a necessity already, them losing Mo Creek makes it even more so. If we can't beat IU without Creek, that would be a very bad sign and extremely difficult to overcome. I don't want to go so far as to say an at-large NCAA tourney invite would be impossible if we lose at IU, because there's still a lot of basketball to play, but I don't think it's far from the truth.

is a much better team this year and losing Creek is bad for them since he's their best player.

I FEEL BAD FOR THE KID. INDIANA WAS LOOKING UP THIS YEAR. IT'S ALWAYS HARD TO SEE SOMEONE GO DOWN LIKE THIS, EVEN FOR A CONFERENCE FOE.

I look forward to future posts by you.
