Six years ago, Michigan basketball traveled to Penn State as the fourth-ranked team in the country, ready to play one of the worst teams in the Big Ten. That Wolverines team, led by Trey Burke lost and it cost them a Big Ten championship.
And Tuesday night, at Penn State, Michigan basketball lost another game in mind-boggling fashion, falling 75-69 to a team that had one Big Ten win coming into the game, just like in 2013. And just like that season, it could cost this team a Big Ten regular-season title.
While the result seems surprising, it shouldn’t be a shock to see Michigan struggle on the road.
