These two teams have elite defenses. According to KenPom, the Wolverines rank second and the Pirates 20th in adjusted defensive efficiency. Both teams play methodically and like to set up their halfcourt offenses. Both teams also have elite rim protection. Points are going to be hard to come by.

Michigan 7-foot sophomore Hunter Dickinson gets his first real challenge tonight against Seton Hall, which features 6-10 Tyrese Samuel and 7-2 Ike Obiagu. The Pirates are relishing the underdog role as they visit Ann Arbor as part of the Gavitt Tipoff Games. They shouldn't be fazed too much by the hostile atmosphere: their average age is 21.3 years old. The Wolverines, of course, are loaded again, but they are shooting 56.5 percent from the free-throw line. That could come into play late. Grab the points.
