Watching M vs MSU, 4 vs 9, March 3 2013 start of second half. Michigan starting Jordan Morgan flanked by Tim Hardaway Jr, Trey Burke, Glenn Robinson III, and Caris LeVert. Helluva team right there.
Not sure why LeVert starting second half over Stauskas
Coach Beilein’s genius on display. Constantly putting Nix in one on one situations on the perimeter to devastating results. Even McGary blowing by Nix 18 feet from the basket

Pretty sure that Stauskas took a blow to the eye/nose very early in that game and never returned. He only played four minutes according to the box score.

Found this in the game recap:
" Michigan freshman Nik Stauskas played only four minutes – he didn’t return after leaving with a cut over his left eye after a scramble for a rebound early in the game."

This is correct. Nik took an inadvertent shot to the eye within the first five minutes and was bleeding quite a bit in the immediate aftermath.

That’s the one where we missed every three we took and still won?

Yep. No Nik for 35 minutes and missed every three but still won!

Game where you can really see LeVert’s potential flash. That young fella could take fools off the dribble.

Caris could be on the move as the NET’s evaluate Bradley Beal…

Damn, he looks jacked in the linked photo.

Looks like a big payday coming for Mr. Robinson I presume!

Feels like he’ll get a three or four year deal with an AAV somewhere between what Joe Harris got ($8MM/yr) and what Joe Ingles got ($13MM/yr) depending on if he adds anything else to his game between now and hitting free agency in the summer of 2021. Based on the value of shooting in today’s game, I’ll venture a WAG of 4y, $48M.

Heat have him on a super low contract for next year as a team option.

Right, so he’ll be a free agent next summer, correct? That’s what Basketball-Reference shows at least.

Not bad for a DIII kid with no scholly out of High School!

Hard work = Cold Cash!

Goes from eating prison food at Michigan (source Trey Burke) to having enough money to buy multiple McDoubles from McDonalds!

Unfortunately for him the cap will probably decrease from where it is due to Covid so I’d be surprised if he gets that

In a normal world, yes

I hadn’t realized this or seen anyone here mention it, but apparently Trey had agreed to play for the Ohio State TBT team

Michigan’s had the hardest time putting a TBT team together. The closest they came was a couple of years ago with Stu, Horford (I think), and Donnal, along with some OSU players and a couple of other B1G guys.
