Ann Arbor — Maybe it had to do with the fact Michigan was playing at home for the first time in the month. Maybe it had to do with the return of sophomore center Hunter Dickinson. Or maybe some of it had to do with the Wolverines facing a reeling Terrapins team.
Whatever is was, Michigan kicked off a soft stretch of its schedule with a sound effort and snapped a three-game skid with an 83-64 wire-to-wire win over Maryland on Tuesday at Crisler Center.
Dickinson was back in the starting lineup after missing last week’s game at Illinois and finished with 21 points on 10-for-14 shooting, six rebounds and six assists in 30 minutes to lead Michigan (8-7, 2-3 Big Ten).
