Michigan Wears Practice Uniforms During Big Ten Tournament Game vs. Illinois

The Michigan men's basketball team was involved in a plane accident on its way to Washington, D.C., for the Big Ten tournament. Nobody was harmed, and the team made it to Verizon Center for Thursday's first-round tournament clash with Illinois.

As noted by the team's official Twitter account, the uniforms stayed on the damaged plane. The circumstances forced the Wolverines to call a last-minute audible and wear their practice uniforms:

At least the players made it. According to MLive.com's Brendan F. Quinn, the Wolverines arrived at 10:41 a.m. ET for a game pushed back 20 minutes from a scheduled start time of noon.

Although far from the sleekest gear, it's easier to appreciate the insignificance of clothing after walking away from a plane accident.
