ANN ARBOR, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Four players reached double figures as the University of Michigan men’s basketball team outlasted Penn State 79-69, Wednesday night at the Crisler Center. With 17 points, Hunter Dickinson led the Wolverines in scoring for the ninth time this season.
Michigan (9-5, 3-0 B1G) saw its 11-point lead erased by Penn State (11-4, 2-2 B1G) early in the second period. Despite a 14-0 Wolverine run, the Nittany Lions pulled back within three in the final minutes. The Michigan defense did not allow Penn State to score after the 2:11 mark, and the Wolverines made five of six free throws down the stretch to earn the victory.
The Wolverines will travel to East Lansing for an in-state rivalry matchup with Michigan State this Saturday at the Breslin Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 2:30 p.m., and the game will be broadcast live on FOX.
