2018 Big Ten Tournament: Penn State faces Purdue in semifinals

Keep building up quality wins — that’s all Penn State can do in order to boost its NCAA Tournament resume. The Nittany Lions pulled out a huge victory Friday night over Ohio State in the quarterfinals of the 2018 Big Ten Tournament. The win was the third of the season over the Buckeyes. Up next is another chance for an impressive win, as the Nittany Lions will match up with the No. 3 seed Purdue Boilermakers.

Penn State won its first two games in the tournament without having the services of big man Mike Watkins., who was ruled out for the entirety of the tournament with a knee injury.
