John Beilein has always coveted the type of player with near-limitless energy reserve who can provide a scoring spark off the bench. Michigan’s coach has found his man this year. Duncan Robinson supported #17 Michigan’s starters with 19 points and helped the Wolverines beat Penn State 72-63 on Wednesday night. Mo Wagner added 18 and Jordan Poole had 13 for the Wolverines (23-7, 12-5 Big Ten) who won their fourth straight. Tony Carr scored 21 points and Lamar Stevens added 19 for the Nittany Lions (19-11, 9-8) who trailed for all but about four minutes. The Wolverines entered the game having made 264 3-pointers, good for second in the conference. They dropped 10 more on the Nittany Lions including a pair of back-to-back shots from Wagner that broke up Penn State’s early second-half run. The Wolverines are guaranteed to be seeded no worse than fifth in the Big Ten tournament with the win.
