Centre Daily Times | 01/16/2005 | Wolverines hold off Nittany Lions:
“UNIVERSITY PARK — The final minute couldn’t have summarized the half, and the game, any better.
“With Michigan clinging to a 59-57 lead, freshman forward Ron Coleman drilled his fourth 3-pointer of the half, and junior forward Graham Brown drew a charge on the following possession, slamming the door on a game Penn State team as the Wolverines went on to win 66-62 Saturday at the Bryce Jordan Center.
“Coleman scored all 12 of his points in the second half while Brown added his first career double-double off the bench with 13 points and 10 rebounds as Michigan (12-5, 3-0 Big Ten) withstood a late Nittany Lion charge and won for the ninth time in 11 games.
“‘We didn’t take advantage of our opportunities,’ Penn State men’s basketball coach Ed DeChellis said, ‘and (Coleman) made a couple big shots, and that’s what this league is, and that’s what this game is all about. You’ve got to make big shots when they arise, and if he misses the shots, it’s a whole different story.’ …”
