Penn State struggled for much of the season in the Big Ten, but the Nittany Lions improved over the last month and carried a lot of momentum into the Big Ten Tournament. IN a fitting end, the Nittany Lions lost a late lead and fell to Minnesota, 77-72.
Despite dominating the majority of the game, Penn State was unable to hang on late and went on to lose in extra time. The Nittany Lions were up by eight points with just over four minutes remaining, but that’s when the game turned.
Minnesota closed the game on a 10-2 run to force overtime.
