All right, I did share the news from the Wolverine.com. Chris Ballas is standing by on the Meyer guest line.

And Chris, Devante Jones suffered an injury in practice. What's the latest? Will he play tomorrow?

I know he did not travel. Concussion protocol. Latest on Jones at point guard for Michigan in their NCAA tournament opener.

Yeah, weird season gets weirder, right, Bill? Just unbelievable. This kid gets a shot to the

nose in practice and is in concussion protocol. We'd heard yesterday that something was up and

didn't, you know, we had some boots on the ground down here and they were really quiet

and we knew something was bad we'd heard that he probably wasn't going to play and that's exactly

what joan howard confirmed today that he was not going to suit up as what were his words

for tomorrow's game so it wouldn't surprise me if he came down here and maybe sat on the bench.

In fact, we've heard from some people that maybe he's going through some things today and that he could be clear to travel. And if that's the case, then he could be on the bench, but it doesn't sound like he's going to play. And they're hopeful that if they continue to advance in the tournament bill, that they're going to get him back, which is obviously huge. He's been really the catalyst for the second half of the season for Michigan.

Hunter Dickinson is, of course, option number one. going to get him back, which is obviously huge. He's been really the catalyst for the second

half of the season for Michigan. Hunter Dickinson is, of course, option number one. But he really,

Jones really raised his level of play, and they're going to miss him. There's no question about it.

So Frankie Collins had been playing well, or has played this well this year.

Brooks can also move over to the point if needed.

So how do you think their starting lineup will look tomorrow at 1215

and their NCAA tournament opener against Colorado State down in Indy?

Yeah, I think it'll be Collins, Bill.

And he's had his ups and downs this year.

He had a really nice game against a similar team in San Diego State, which actually beat Colorado State, I think, twice this year, if I'm not mistaken, at least once. So in the same division or in the same conference. So this is the kind of team that maybe he can excel against, and we'll see what happens you know it's going to they do lose a lot

bill let's be honest this is a guy that has really been he 25 points in one of his games 21 at

ohio state and nine nine assists so uh it's they're going to miss him and that Collins is not a guy
