Race Thompson accumulated nine points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds and one steal over 27 minutes during Saturday’s 69-67 loss to Purdue. Thompson played under 30 minutes for the first time since lateJanuary, but he hauled in double-digit rebounds and came within one point of a double-double. He’s had single-digit field-goal attempts in each of his last three appearances but has averaged 9.7 points and 6.3 rebounds in 29.7 minutes per game while shooting 57.1 percent from the floor during that time.
Michigan Wolverines DFS Snapshot
Hunter Dickinson (illness) practiced on Wednesday, Anthony Broome of On3 Sports reports. Dickinson is expected to be ready to go for the Big Ten Tournament opener on Thursday against Indiana after missing last Saturday’s regular-season finale game against Ohio State with an illness. That should move Brandon Johns back to the bench. Dickinson likely needs to lead the Wolverines to one win the Big Ten Tournament to feel comfortable about making the NCAA Tournament.
