Penn State vs. Michigan basketball: Stream, injury report, broadcast info for Sunday’s game
After taking a thorough beating on the road against Rutgers last week, Penn State head coach Micah Sheewsberrye didn’t mince words about his team’s effort. So when the Nittany Lions take their home court on Sunday afternoon for a matchup with Michigan, Shrewsberry hopes the message landed with his team and the effort is improved right from the jump.
Penn State lost the first regular season meeting with Michigan earlier this year but not before making a decent second-half run to chip away at a large deficit to make things interesting down the stretch. Michigan managed to pull away in the final moments.
Here is how to catch all of the action on Sunday afternoon.
