On paper, Michigan doesn’t appear to have any significant weaknesses or significant strengths. I know Hunter Dickinson can play bully ball as well as hit the three.
As a team, they seem to rely on decent three point shooting to win games.
Hopefully their tape provides some clues to key in on or it’s definitely going to be a slap fight…with rocks.

They’re a strange team - should be better than they are - Jett Howard injured his ankle last night and left the game - wonder if he’ll play Thursday?

Probably not.. but it’s Reed who I’m concerned about.

Given the guys on their roster, Michigan should be better than they are.

Top 8 by minutes played (conference games), and their Rivals150 rank:
Bufkin - #52 (2021)
Dickinson - #40 (2020)
Howard - #46 (2022)
McDaniel - #100 (2022)
Williams - #106 (2021)
Baker - #48 (2018)
Reed - #31 (2022)
Tschetter - #132 (2021)

All 8 guys were Rivals150, and 4 of 8 were Top 50 coming out of HS for their year.

Hope Howard takes one more game off to rest his ankle, but also hope we get Caleb back.

Dug McDaniel (listed at 5’11”) emerged as the difference maker vs MSU dropping 18 points.

They have arguably 2 first round picks in Howard and bufkin and an all BIG player in dickinson but they just haven’t been able to put it together this year. Even their win vs mich state yesterday wasn’t that impressive. We should take care of business at home.

Crazy how the NBA draft goes these days for big men. I saw Edey going 60th overall in one mock draft. Dickinson wasn’t even mentioned.
