STATE COLLEGE - They say teams live and die by the 3-pointer. If that's the case, the Nittany Lions were dead on arrival last night.
Penn State entered yesterday's game shooting better than 43 percent from behind the arc in each of its past three games. But the Lions came out ice-cold against the Wolverines and stayed that way, hitting just six of their 26 3-point attempts in the game, as Michigan rode Louis Bullock's 25 points to a 77-61 victory in front of 12,097 at Bryce Jordan Center.
