Since the 2000-01 season, only five Penn State rosters have managed a winning record with just one NCAA Tournament appearance to show for it.
The 2017-18 Nittany Lions, who went on to win the National Invitation Tournament, held a 21-13 record after the Big Ten Tournament but were snubbed out of a spot.
The 2019-20 squad held a 21-10 record and a prime chance to make the NCAA Tournament during the conference tournament, but the pandemic brought an abrupt end to the season.
That leaves the 2011 Nittany Lions as the last team to make the NCAA Tournament.
