Michigan Basketball vs. Penn State

Walton had 13 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists for the Wolverines in a 79-72 victory over Penn State at Madison Square Garden. Now the betting odds for the game have MI favored by a comfortable margin on the road to pick up the win.

Tyler Motte got leveled but returned to score an empty-netter in Michigan’s win vs. Penn State.

“I said it time and time again: This group of guys are really resilient”. They’ll host No. 12 Michigan State next Saturday in the only scheduled meeting between the two in-state rivals of the regular season.

“We’re not going there sightseeing”.

The sixth-ranked MI hockey team took down No. 15 Penn State, 6-3, on Saturday night to clinch a sweep in the inaugural BTN Super Saturday doubleheader at Madison Square Garden. After falling behind by as many as 17 points in the second half, the Nittany Lions hit 5 three pointers in the last 8 minutes to keep the game close.

MI hopes that Caris LeVert will be able to return for the home stretch, as he has missed the last eight games with a leg injury.

Four unanswered third-period goals by three different MI players tied the game for the Wolverines and put them ahead for good, and in all five Wolverines accounted for the offensive production.

“There was some reservations because a few years ago MI was top five in the country and you know we weren’t the best at that point and we were growing and we beat them”, Chambers said. As of Thursday the basketball team holds an 11-10 overall record (2-6 in Big Ten play) and the hockey team boasts a 16-5-3 record (6-2-0 in the conference).

There are some different wrinkles for the workers to deal with today as the court will be branded with the Big Ten logo, the building will be complete with Big Ten signage and the digital video boards also will help mark the occasion. With many alum – especially for Penn State – in the NY area, this is a good way to give back to the East Coast alumni while marketing their schools in the biggest media market in the country. MI attempted 31 free throws, knocking in 23 of them, and made 19-of-35 two-point attempts.

MI will be halfway through their 18-game conference slate following today’s game with the Nittany Lions.
