Michigan basketball's game at Penn State has been rescheduled to Wednesday, the program announced Friday afternoon.

The two teams will tip off at 7 p.m. on Big Ten Network.

The game was originally scheduled for Jan. 9, but was postponed due to the Nittany Lions' COVID-19 issues.

The teams have met once this season Dec. 13, when Michigan hosted Penn State at Crisler Center. The Wolverines won, 62-58, thanks to 20 points from freshman center Hunter Dickinson.

Michigan was originally scheduled to have an eight-day layoff between Friday night's game at Purdue and a home game against Indiana on Jan. 30; now, it'll travel to Penn State in between the two contests. The Wolverines are now back on track to play out the full 20-game conference schedule.
