Michigan basketball's offense didn't have an answer outside of Jett Howard.
Its defense didn't have an answer for anybody.
It was a recipe for a blowout in University Park, Pennsylvania, where Penn State hammered Michigan, 83-61, on Sunday. It's the Nittany Lions' largest margin of victory over U-M, surpassing the 18-point win (70-52) on Jan. 2, 1999.
It was also new low point in a season that hasn't gone the way Juwan Howard and company had hoped. The loss is just Michigan's second by double figures all year, but the fifth in the past seven games, as they fall to 0-9 in Quad I games with the calendar set to turn to February.
