ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan’s Hunter Dickinson didn’t waste any time setting the tone.
Thirty seconds into Monday’s regular-season opener, Purdue Fort Wayne’s Bobby Planutis drove into the lane, where he was greeted by Dickinson and had his shot attempt swatted away. On the ensuing possession, the junior big man promptly scored over a double-team along the baseline.
That painted a picture for how the rest of the night would unfold, as Dickinson powered the No. 22 Wolverines past the undersized Mastodons, 75-56, to kick off the 2022-23 campaign in winning fashion at Crisler Center.
