Michigan basketball has not said whether guard Eli Brooks suffered a broke nose in last Saturday's win at Purdue.

But from what they've seen, the Wolverines think it's well within the realm of possibility.

“He’s still a handsome guy," said coach Juwan Howard on Wednesday. "Poor kid. I’m laughing because I broke my nose three times. I know what he’s going through.”

Howard followed up his comments by saying he wasn't sure if Brooks' injury was a broken nose.
