Michigan vs Pittsburgh Key Stats

While playing EMU, the Wolverines were 17.5-point favorites, but they fell behind by three points in the first half (45-42) and for the majority of the game. With 31 points on 13 of 17 shooting and seven boards, Dickinson led the Wolverines. He was one of the top big players in the country in 2021–2022, averaging 18.6 points for a dismal 19–15 squad.

The Wolverines were ninth in the Big 10 last season, with a 33.9% three-point field goal percentage, yet they were only 5-of-21 against EMU. They permitted EMU to make 27 attempts at the free throw line and shoot 45% from the field (making 20).

On November 7, Pitt defeated Tennessee-Martin 80-58 to win their season opener. After a difficult 11-21 season, that seemed to be what Jeff Capel's club needed. With 27 points and 13 rebounds, Ole Miss transfer Blake Hinson (6-7, 255) took the lead. Just 22% (5–23) of their field goal attempts—42% of their total—were made by the Panthers.

Jamarius Burton, a senior guard, took the lead with 16 points on 5-of-7 shooting and seven rebounds. Burton did, however, make eight of the team's 19 errors. Last year's Panthers season was terrible (61.5 ppg, 15th in the ACC). They also had a turnover margin of -3.0, which placed them 327th nationally.

Michigan vs Pittsburgh Best Picks and Prediction

Freshman Fede Federico, who is 6-11 but weighs only 220 pounds, will concede roughly 40 pounds to Dickinson, who is now trying to attract the attention of the NBA.

Jett Howard (6-7, 215), the son of Juwan Howard, might be the team's x-factor as they look to add more outside scoring. He shot five out of ten threes in their opening game against Fort Wayne (19-point win). Pitt has a couple of injured players who will be destroyed in the paint by the larger Wolverines.

Pick: Wolverines -9.5 (-110)
