Michigan fights off Buffalo 88-76 in season opener led by Hunter Dickinson (November 10, 2021)

Michigan fought off Buffalo 88-76 in the season opener on Wednesday night at the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor. Hunter Dickinson led the Wolverines with 27 points and six rebounds, while Jeenathan Williams went off for a game-high 32 points and eight rebounds in the loss. Juwan Howard’s team looked like a national championship contender for part of the win against Buffalo but there is still a lot of room for improvement on both ends of the floor. After leading 51-36 at halftime, the Wolverines scored just 37 points in the second half and allowed Buffalo to cut the deficit to 72-67 with six minutes remaining. Michigan consistently went to different variations of a high screen-and-roll with Eli Brooks and Dickinson late in the game.
