Prediction: Penn State has certainly played Michigan tough this season, but I see the Wolverines coming into this game with a lot of motivation for revenge. The Nittany Lions handed Michigan its most embarrassing loss of the season. Michigan will look to correct that and make a statement against Penn State. Michigan also knows the importance of picking up a few wins this week to improve its NCAA Tournament seeding. Penn State might start fast, but I ultimately look for the Wolverines to take control and win comfortably. Michigan 71, Penn State 56
