Michigan's 'D' secures road 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 to recover and power past Penn State, 72-63, behind 32 combined points from reserves Duncan Robinson and Jordan Poole Wednesday night at the Bryce Jordan Center.

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