Battle of bigs could tip the scales in Michigan-Purdue bout

Purdue's Trevion Williams is no stranger to Michigan's Hunter Dickinson.

Despite being two grades apart and from different parts of the country, Friday’s matchup between the No. 7 Wolverines and Boilermakers won’t mark the first time the two big men have crossed paths.

“We've played against each other a couple times, whether it was AAU, USA (Basketball),” Williams said Thursday. “I'm very familiar with his game."

Williams, a junior forward and former Detroit Henry Ford Academy standout, said the last time he squared off against Dickinson was two years ago at tryouts for the USA Basketball U19 World Cup Team.
