If it wasn't for bad luck, poor Michael Sanchez would have no luck at all.

The basketball Hogs' frighteningly thin frontcourt just got a little thinner: Sanchez, a 6'8" power forward who missed nearly all of last season with plantar fasciitis, has suffered a stress fracture in one of his feet and will be out approximately six weeks.

Sanchez was probably not going to set any scoring records, but the junior from Springdale is a hard-working, Johnny Punchclock-type who had reportedly looked impressive in preseason practice. His toughness will be missed but hopefully it will be around for SEC play; with Sanchez's luck, though, you better not bet the milk money on that.
