'It's a mental thing': Deep ball doesn't fall for Michigan, sealing fate in loss to MSU

East Lansing — A recurring scene unfolded for the Wolverines.

In another true road game, No. 12 Michigan struggled to dial it in from 3-point range and finished 5-for-23 from beyond the arc in Sunday's 87-69 loss to No. 14 Michigan State at the Breslin Center.

Against the Spartans, the Wolverines (10-4, 1-2 Big Ten) missed their first six long-range attempts and didn’t make their first deep ball until freshman wing Franz Wagner buried a 3-pointer with 7:33 left in the first half.
