went to the game tonight and it just confirmed how bad Novak is shooting the ball right now. Stuuuuuuuey looked pretty good tonight though. Cronin got in the game late and did anyone notice how this kid runs? It looks like he has a degenerative hip disease or something. One of Beilein's first recruits and looks like a waste of space

Cronin's hip injury is progressing very slowly, some people speculate that he'll never be the same.

ya, sure

It's time for LLP to start lighting it up. He was terrific at times last year, putting the team on his back in crunch time and bombing away at will, but it seems he really regressed late last year and it's carried over even further. What was his deal at zona?

Huh? This year on average is better than his horrid play in B10 play last year. Novak, Gibson, and Morris need to step it up IMO.

Michigan men's basketball coach John Beilein today announced that redshirt freshman center Ben Cronin will miss the remainder of the season -- and "more than likely" the rest of his career -- as he continues rehabilitation on his left hip.

I consider the Cronin situation the first piece of good news in a while. It was obvious that he was never going to be a good player. So instead of him taking up a precious scholarship for the next 3 seasons, we can bring in another big man who might be able to contribute.

It's certainly sad to see someone with that size suffer an injury that is never going to allow him to play, but hopefully now he can concentrate on a recovery to live a normal healthy life without having to worry about basketball. Best wishes, Ben.

He's still going to occupy that scholarship.

No, if Cronin gives up basketball, his scholarship will no longer count against the basketball team. We will be able to give that to somebody else next year. Jon Horford is looking like the guy who will get it.

Cronin would probably get an academic scholarship, but he wouldn't count against the basketball limit. Same thing happened with Antonio Bass in football.

Douglass and Novak look better today, we really shouldn't be playing man-to-man defense much at all. The zones has worked way better.

At least your boy Novak showed up. I don't understand how Sims could be so soft. Manny "no skills, just athleticism" Harris can't do anything against a decent defender.
