Michigan basketball nearly let its hand off the wheel, but held on for a 76-72 lead over Penn State to stay perfect at home

ANN ARBOR — Over the final 1:42 of Monday night’s game against Penn State, Michigan’s Tre Donaldson delivered a pretty assist, made two huge shots, including the game-winning basket, and converted a couple of free throws to seal the victory.

The Wolverines hold a better overall record in their historic rivalry with the Buckeyes, boasting a tally of 62-51-6. However, since 2000, the Buckeyes have largely dominated the matchup, with a record of 17-7 against Michigan. In recent years though, particularly over the last four seasons, the tide seems to be shifting back in favor of Michigan.
