Michigan stumbles against last-place Penn State, Beilein ejected

University Park, Pa. — Michigan entered Bryce Jordan Center with a chance to add some cushion atop the Big Ten standings.

Instead, what unfolded was one long, miserable night.

The No. 6 Wolverines were outhustled, sloppy on offense, dominated on the glass and had their second-ranked defense picked apart by the last-place team in the conference.

On top of that, coach John Beilein was ejected for the first time in his Michigan career at the end of the first half for arguing a non-call involving junior guard Zavier Simpson in what turned out to be dismal 75-69 loss to Penn State on Tuesday.
