Isaiah Livers' injury a gut punch to Michigan basketball's NCAA tournament chances

On March 4, shortly after he and his team celebrated Michigan basketball's first Big Ten title since 2013-14, Isaiah Livers spoke about what he hoped would come next.

“I got my outright (conference title), we’re going to go win the Big Ten championship, have a March Madness run, fingers crossed, and go get that natty,” Livers said that night.

The Wolverines still have the NCAA tournament ahead of them and could certainly win it all. But they'll have to move forward with Livers on the sideline.

The senior forward was dealt devastating news when a MRI following U-M's win over Maryland on Friday revealed a stress fracture in his right foot.
