McGary Out!

     The lineup for the University of Michigan basketball team will look much different in the upcoming weeks without the presence of Mitch McGary.  McGary will undergo back surgery to fix a nagging issue that has bothered him throughout the season.  McGary played a significant roll last season during the Wolverines run to the National Championship Final, and he was also selected by the Associated Press as a preseason All-American.  McGary missed the first two games of the season, and his back problem benched him again (on December 21st) against Stanford.  Al Horford, and Jordan Morgan are both likely to receive more minutes, along with an increased work load.
     The Michigan Wolverines currently have an overall record of 7-4.  Three of their four losses were to ranked teams such as #13 Iowa State 77-70, #9 Duke 79-69, and #1 Arizona 72-70.  The Wolverines other loss was to Charlotte 63-61 in Puerto Rico.  Michigan will play their final non-conference game tonight (6:30), at the Crisler Arena against Holy Cross.
