Michigan picked a good time to finally win two straight games.
The Wolverines’ streak of inconsistency had gotten so dire that star big man Hunter Dickinson suggested to the team Friday morning that they scrimmage the team managers to get a loss out of the way before Michigan’s second-round matchup with Tennessee. It’s hard to know for sure whether that game actually happened (Dickinson joked that one manager “gave him buckets” this morning) but the team was certainly cognizant of its inability to win consecutive games.
“They put it up in our lockers before the Indiana game about the recent trend. We were well aware of it for a while now, and it's definitely been wearing on us,” Dickinson said. “There is no better time to break the streak than now, I guess.”
