Late rally not enough as Penn State loses in Big Ten championship

CHICAGO — The Penn State men’s basketball team fell just short of winning its first Big Ten tournament title when it fell to No. 1-seeded Purdue on Sunday.

The Nittany Lions had a last-second rally and got within just one point of the Boilermakers with seven seconds remaining. It wasn’t enough, as they lost 67-65 to the Boilermakers, marking the third loss against Purdue this season.

Penn State scored the first four points of the game, but Purdue would add the next nine. The Boilermakers would go on a 15-2 run before the Nittany Lions would score on consecutive possessions.
