Michigan must stifle Penn State shooters to earn rare road win

The Michigan Wolverines have now lost four of their last six games after dropping a close game to the No. 1 Purdue Boilermakers Thursday night. The road doesn’t get any easier as we approach February. Up next is a rematch with the high-scoring Penn State Nittany Lions in Happy Valley.

The last time these two met, the Wolverines defended their home court while holding the Nittany Lions to just 32.1% shooting from deep. Typically, they rely on that number to be much higher to stay in games. They currently lead the Big Ten in three-point attempts with 39 more than any other team.
