Mitch Mcgary love thread.
what can you say? As GREAT as Burke was/is, Mcgary is the story of the tourney so far. 54 points,38!!!!!!!! rebounds in 3 games. Unreal.
March 29th, 2013 at 10:32 PM ^
He's the x factor. Can't wait to see what he'll do next year.
March 29th, 2013 at 11:16 PM ^
i can't wait to see what he'll do next game!
March 29th, 2013 at 10:34 PM ^
Puppy dog!
March 29th, 2013 at 10:34 PM ^
McGary: 12/17 shooting, 25 pts, 14 rebs, 3 stl in 35 mins
Withey: 6/11 shotting, 12 pts, 8 rebs, 5 blk in 39 mins
Who would have thought going into this game that McGary would win this matchup? Dude's become a big man in the past 3 games.
March 29th, 2013 at 10:39 PM ^
McGary is actually further along in his skill set and ability than Withey was at this stage is his career. So its not that surprising especially since the way he has been used the in the three games has been great. Putting him in the pick and roll with burke has really maximized his opportunities.
March 29th, 2013 at 11:08 PM ^
than Morgan or Horford. What is the upside for this kid? Can't wait to find out.
March 29th, 2013 at 11:55 PM ^
It took most the year to get his conditioning and eating sorted out. The guy has some great offensive skills that almost surprise me when I see them when you compare him to the guy in the regular season.
March 30th, 2013 at 12:01 AM ^
my five year old son is more along in his offensive game than Horford...
lol
yes, I laughed out loud at my self. I rule.
March 29th, 2013 at 10:44 PM ^
I would honestly consider it a draw if Withey didnt edge McGary. They destroyed our interior defense, where McGary is. McGary's bulk of great defensive plays come from hustle 10-20 ft from the basket. Withey kept us out of the lane for 35 minutes.
BOOOO This is a McGary Love thread!!!!
March 29th, 2013 at 10:34 PM ^
when you punch McGary in the nuts.
March 29th, 2013 at 11:00 PM ^
they were just turning his game on

Dong Punch flips a switch
Would’nt like me when angry
Mitch Smashes Withey
March 29th, 2013 at 10:35 PM ^
He does deserve his own thread.
March 29th, 2013 at 10:35 PM ^
noticeable improvement in his game the last month or so. Very impressed with the coaching staff and MM putting in the time and effort to develop his game.
has been a breakthrough
for MM
March 29th, 2013 at 10:35 PM ^
And Burke is getting the ball to him and still scoring a bunch himself. The new Michigan inside/outside game. Gotta love it.
March 29th, 2013 at 10:36 PM ^
...PUPPY LOVE!
March 29th, 2013 at 10:36 PM ^
BUT HE DIDNT EVEN START ON HIS HIGH SCHOOL TEAM LAST YEAR SO HE CANT BE ANY GOOD!!!! -signed, dumbass OSU and sparty fans
March 29th, 2013 at 10:36 PM ^
Anyone else here in their mid 30s having flashbacks when they see #4 stealing the ball and leading the break?
March 29th, 2013 at 11:07 PM ^
My thoughts exactly. Awesome
March 29th, 2013 at 10:36 PM ^
I liked it when McGary would make jumpers in Witheys face. Yeah ... I liked that.
March 29th, 2013 at 10:38 PM ^
he's added a good amount of range to his game... hopefully his free throws keep him out of the draft :/
March 30th, 2013 at 12:46 AM ^
like drummond?
March 29th, 2013 at 10:37 PM ^
To me McGary has been all the difference in the tourney. Burke is Burke but Mitch McGary has come up huge at the most critical moments in every way possible...as a Freshman.
March 29th, 2013 at 10:37 PM ^
McGary had his doubters, and they were well deserved. Tonight though he single handedly kept us in the game until late. He gave up 4-5" and still dominated the boards. Really showed why he has taken over as the starter.
March 29th, 2013 at 10:52 PM ^
How tall do you think WIthey is?
Also, MMFG!!!!!!
March 29th, 2013 at 10:37 PM ^
McGary has got some big nuggets. He doesnt back down to anyone.
March 29th, 2013 at 10:40 PM ^
I believe Elijah Johnson would concur.
March 29th, 2013 at 10:40 PM ^
You mean big McNuggets...
March 29th, 2013 at 10:41 PM ^
All the bigger for Johnson to target.
March 29th, 2013 at 10:46 PM ^
I bet Johnsons hand hurt after hitting McGary's berries
March 29th, 2013 at 10:38 PM ^
I am just jumping into a thread, any thread, to say fuck yeah!
March 29th, 2013 at 10:38 PM ^
I hope his man parts are OK! That's what you call taking one for the team.
March 29th, 2013 at 10:38 PM ^
Where the hell did McGary come from?!?! March McGary!!
March 29th, 2013 at 10:40 PM ^
...when I have my crazy subs party at my house! I'm drunk on my blue drink that I drank out of my U of M glass while watching the game alone in the dark in my family room!!!! And I'm 45 years old!
March 29th, 2013 at 10:42 PM ^
This is my favorite post of all time.
March 29th, 2013 at 10:41 PM ^
That KU player will rue that day he touched McGary's balls. Pissed him off mightily in sure.
March 29th, 2013 at 10:49 PM ^
He has a broken hand now.
March 29th, 2013 at 10:42 PM ^
sunt tauri maximi viri optimique.
March 29th, 2013 at 11:04 PM ^
Don't even know what that means, but who cares? Everybody is getting posbanged tonight!
March 29th, 2013 at 10:42 PM ^
Huge game Mitch and thank you to Jordan Morgan for staying in the game!
March 29th, 2013 at 10:46 PM ^
well said about Morgan too.
March 29th, 2013 at 10:56 PM ^
Agree!
March 29th, 2013 at 10:43 PM ^
Really want him to stay all four years just so I can love this kid longer. By far one of my favorite Michigan players every in my lifetime.
March 29th, 2013 at 11:59 PM ^
And he is gone after net year. He keeps playing like this folks are going to start talking about him leaving this year. Remember he was thinking about going pro before coming umich (he was in prep school,no?).
In any event, dude keeps this up, he might be on some per season all American lists. Seriously, he has been dominant.
March 30th, 2013 at 12:29 AM ^
McGary actually turns 21 this summer, so I don't think it's realistic to expect him to be here four years. I'll gladly take two years.
March 29th, 2013 at 10:47 PM ^
