Without Isaiah Livers, Michigan basketball isn’t the same. Nothing flows offensively, and the defense is typically lacking. Coming off a disastrous bout with Michigan State in East Lansing, his absence was genuinely noticed for the first time, and the same team took the court tonight against the Boilermakers with nearly the same result.
A year ago, Livers was the sixth man, and now he’s the man, or at least he was until his groin injury. Currently, Michigan basketball doesn’t appear to have a viable replacement, but they managed to scrape by in a sloppy basketball game.
