Penn State 68, Northwestern 65: Nittany Lions Win Overtime Dog Fight, Keep NCAA Tournament Hopes Alive

Penn State entered Wednesday night coming off one of the most gut wrenching, heartbreaking losses in recent memory. Hell, when you weigh all the factors, it’s not a stretch to call it one of the worst losses in program history.

Tip your cap to Micah Shrewsberry and his squad. They easily could have folded, especially after being in an early hole, but this did not happen. They fought and battled on their way to a 68-65 overtime victory, improving to 18-12 on the season.

To the credit of the Nittany Lions they could have been in deep trouble at halftime.
