I love looking up to kids three decades younger than me.  Good fun.

I thought Robbins would be Dickinson’s first big test in the B1G. Dickinson scored 28 with 8 rebounds. Robbins scored 5 with 4.

surprisingly, his game probably doesn't translate anywhere near as much as you'd think to the NBA.  if he gets a solid 3 pt stroke maybe, but otherwise he's actually not a lock to do much in the pros.  i would like to be proven wrong in 4 years.

Dickinson talked about Sanderson and conditioning in his interview. This is no joke and huge for a big man. Recall Teske was gassed a lot. Dickinson has these great 2nd half games; he's wearing out the other bigs.

This is a great point, and very true. I really expected Dickenson to crash into a freshman wall after Davis got hurt and he had to up his minutes; instead, he's just getting better and stronger.

Sanderson is a valuable part of this program, and props to the players for taking their fitness so seriously.

I recall one instance (not sure at what point in the game it was) where Dickinson is running down the floor and Robbins is trailing him and the contrast between them was hilarious.  Hunter is not moving fast and Robbins looks like he's about to die crossing the finish line of a marathon.

Dickinson so good, but so un-NBA in 2021.  Will be interesting to see how long he sticks around. Would be an embarrassment of riches in the front court next year if he sticks around.
