What an irritating Saturday around college basketball. Seems like nearly every game I had a chance to win near the end (except Rice) just didn't go my way. Don't think a guy has missed a free throw in the final seconds to benefit me in weeks. We press on. Penn State is simply a different team at home (10-1) and Michigan the same on the road (1-3). The Wolverines may be without second-leading scorer Jett Howard again due to his ankle, and he likely won't be near 100 percent if he does play. Not sure it will matter.
