The No. 21 Michigan Wolverines (14-5) will aim to continue their dominance at home as they welcome the Penn State Nittany Lions (13-7) to Crisler Center on Monday evening. The Wolverines, riding a nine-game home win streak, tip off against Penn State at 6:30 PM ET.
The Nittany Lions began the season on a strong note, breezing through their first 14 games with just two losses. During that stretch, they fell only to Clemson and Rutgers, racking up wins over teams like Binghamton, UMBC, Virginia Tech, and Purdue. However, the start of 2025 has been rough for Penn State, with tough Big Ten matchups leading to a slump in form.
The Wolverines, meanwhile, have been consistent overall, recovering swiftly from a couple of setbacks earlier in the season. Michigan started with an 8-3 record in their first 11 games, stumbling against Wake Forest, Arkansas, and Oklahoma but securing victories against Cleveland State, TCU, Xavier, and Iowa.
