Flaherty had back-to-back 3-pointers in the run and four in the first quarter when the Wolverines opened a 21-8 lead. Thome had nine points in the run. Penn State missed seven straight shots, going without a basket for almost 7 1/2 minutes. It was the 12th time in 20 quarters Michigan held an opponent to single digits.
