Michigan bench, 'D' secure big win at Penn State

Michigan coach talks about his team's performance in Wednesday's 72-63 road win.

University Park, Pa. — Michigan coach John Beilein knew if his team was going to beat Penn State, it was going to have to be at its best.

The Wolverines’ bench and defense certainly rose to the occasion.

After a shaky start to the second half, Michigan was able to recover and power past Penn State, 72-63, to pick up another resume-boosting road win Wednesday night at the Bryce Jordan Center.

Reserves Duncan Robinson finished with 19 points and three blocks and Jordan Poole chipped in 13 points for No.
