Fresh off their first loss of the season at Minnesota, the big question was: how would Michigan basketball bounce back? Especially since it wasn’t a grind-it-out loss, but a complete blowout.
It turns out, pretty good.
The Wolverines were on fire from the outset and led from wire-to-wire, with multiple contributors helping the maize and blue jumping out to an early advantage. But there were some differences between this win and some of Michigan’s others.
Hunter Dickinson was quiet offensively — but not defensively — while Mike Smith rebounded from an abysmal performance in Minneapolis. And defensively, the whole team was beyond solid.
Here are our five takeaways from the Wolverines’ 87-63 win over Maryland.
