Better, but still a some what of a lack luster performance. We're down 31-29 at halftime. Our offense is gone, we are shooting better from 3 but have zero post play. I just do not understand how we looked so well in the first 12-13 games of the season, beating UCLA and Duke to where we are at now. It's almost eary. We play Uconn next, we better get our act together...quick.

As always, go Blue!

Wow, didn't see any of the game but just read the article. They must have played some 'D' in the second because PSU only had 20 after the half. Here's a quick summary from yahoo...


ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP)—Manny Harris scored 28 points as Michigan beat Penn St. 71-51 for a key Big Ten victory on Thursday night.

Harris, who was ejected from Saturday’s loss at Purdue, helped Michigan (15-8, 5-6 Big Ten) win for just the second time in six games.

The loss ended Penn State’s winning streak at four games—their longest conference run since 1996. The Nittany Lions (17-6, 6-4) are now 1-14 at Crisler Arena.

Stu Douglass added 13 points for the Wolverines. Jamelle Cornley led Penn State with 25, but their high-scoring guard combination of Stanley Pringle and Talor Battle combined for just 16 on 6-for-29 shooting.

Penn State led 31-29 at the half, thanks to 15 points from Cornley, but Michigan rallied after the intermission. Sims and Harris combined for 13 points in a 16-3 run that put the Wolverines ahead 45-36 with 10:15 to go.

The Wolverines held Penn State to 20 second-half points.

Off to #1 UConn on Saturday

Good win, looks like things are gelling a little more. The next one is going to be a tough one. I hope that we can at least keep it close.

Definitely a much needed win! Good to see them get their composure back and play a full game.

GL with #1... that's all I can hope for.

Thabeet from UConn is going to eat us up bad. That guy is a beast and we have noone to stop him.

The tallest guy we use on a normal basis is 6'7" Simms.....I think we are going to be in trouble...but then again, we all said that against Duke and UCLA.
