After a pair of top ten wins last week, Michigan returns to action against Penn State at the Crisler Center tonight (6:30 p.m., FS1) for its first rematch of the conference season.
The Wolverines led by 13 points around the under-12 timeout in the second half of the first meeting, only to let Penn State crawl back into the game and have a shot at the upset on the final possession.
The Nittany Lions enter the rematch coming off their first Big Ten win of the season, 77-75 over Minnesota on Sunday afternoon, and are ranked 130th on KenPom at 10-12 (1-10 Big Ten).
