Hunter Dickinson's 5-word admission after Kansas defeats Michigan State
11/12/2024 11:46 PM
Hunter Dickinson was as ready as he could be for Kansas basketball’s Tuesday night matchup against Michigan State. In what had all of the makings of a box office affair, head coach Bill Self reached program history with 591 wins.
Dickinson, the former Big Ten center, expressed his emotions after what could potentially be his final duel against Michigan State in his career. The senior center finished Tuesday’s contest with 28 points and 12 rebounds, as he just flat-out bullied the Spartans on the glass.
"I definitely circled this game,” Dickinson said, per Andy Katz.
The 7-foot-2 big man spent his first three years at Michigan before transferring to Kansas ahead of the 2023-24 campaign. He made it clear that it was most personal for him than most will be this season.
