Michigan NCAA Tournament Game 1 (and evening games) Open Thread

Submitted by M-Wolverine on
There IS a Liveblog on the front page...but I have a hard time getting messages sent on my tablet/mobile there, so this is an alternative. Game 1 of hopefully 6, a new season truly begins tonight. This is what people will remember, and anything else can be put behind us. Enjoy every game we have left with Burke. Go Blue!

That play by McGary to force the overhand thing (showing my bball knowledge) won't show on the boxscore, but it's another sign he's bringing it tonight

is the sole reason we're up 15. Without his effort tonight (in and out of the boxscore), this is a tight game right now. Future is ridiculously bright for him

He's probably the player of the game but Hardaway, Stauskas and GRIII deserve a lot of praise, too.  And Burke has a lot of assists even if he's stone cold.  A nice team effort, really.

I think you have to go back to Chris Webber to find another Michigan big guy that was as good at jumping the passing lanes as McGary is.

Best thing is that McGary has allowed Morgan to rest. We get out of these first two rounds and we are going to be a tough out for anyone. Team just needs it's confidence back.

the most exciting thing about this game is that Michigan is leading and without trey really contributing on the offensive side besides his assists.
