Decade’s best 30: Penn State men’s basketball beats Wisconsin in low-scoring 2011 Big Ten Tournament affair

With a record of 17-13 through the 2010-11 regular season, the Nittany Lions entered the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament desperately needing a win to boost their NCAA Tournament resume.

Penn State got its season-defining victory, but it would come on the ugliest night in Big Ten Tournament history.
