What's new

Following potential 2013 draftees

Florida starts 3 seniors and 2 juniors....Michigan starts 3 freshman, a sophomore and a junior. That Florida team has been to the elite 8 twice in the last 2 years losing both games by a combined 7 points. I hope the 3rd time isn't the charm.

btw, I never got into posting on the Michigan boards, so thanks for letting me occasionally post some UM stuff here. I try to keep it relevant.

Florida is the better team, imo. I am pulling for blue.

Unfortunately I haven't seen them play at all, but from the highlights Florida seems to be just as athletic and much more consistent - probably attributed to their experience. Michigan had that rough stretch of 6-6 in Big10 play, but they seem to have returned to their old selves right around halftime of the SDSU game in round 1. Go Blue.
 
Not with the emergence of McGary.

People expected big things when McGary signed on at Michigan. At the time of his commitment he was the #2 player in the country. He fell off to around 30 by the time he got to Michigan and seemed pretty hesitant out there during the season. There were a lot of plays where he honestly couldn't decide if he wanted to dunk it or lay it in and he would end up missing and looking really clumsy. I think it was all about confidence and being comfortable in the system. He worked his way from the bench sharing time with Horford and backing up Morgan to taking 3/4 of the minutes and starting at the 5. He isn't the brightest guy, but he has good instincts and amazing hustle. It's been fun to watch.
