Don’t need Dickinson to score

Hunter Dickinson only attempted three shots on the offensive end of the floor, but he still played an important role in Michigan basketball getting so many open 3-pointers.

Unlike on Saturday, when he struggled to pass out of the double team and turned it over five times, Dickinson moved the ball quickly when he was confronted with doubles and it made all the difference in the world.

Mike Smith buried three triples in the first few minutes and two more from Isaiah Livers, who went 4-of-5 from beyond the arc, broke the game wide open.

Michigan wound up making 12 shots from deep and even though he had just one assist, Dickinson is still the guy U-M wants to run offense through and Tuesday showed why.

In the end, Dickinson played just 21 minutes, which allowed Austin Davis to see a little more time and he scored nine points as he made 4-of-5 shot attempts.

Brandon Johns even scored 11 points off the bench and it was just a reminder of how many offensive weapons this team has.
