Penn State Basketball: How to beat Purdue in the Big Ten Quarterfinals
By Evan Smith
Penn State Basketball faces off against the number three seed Purdue Boilermakers tonight in the Big Ten Tournament Quarterfinals.
Well, well, well, what have we here?
Penn State Basketball finds itself just three wins from the unlikeliest of NCAA Tournament berths thanks to Thursday night’s upset win over the Ohio State Buckeyes.
And now, playing their third game in three days, The Nittany Lions face-off against a familiar foe for Head Coach Micah Shrewsberry, his old team the Purdue Boilermakers.
Penn State Basketball hosted Purdue back in January and played them hard, eventually falling 74-67 to the then number three team in the nation. It was an odd game where Purdue’s twin towers of Zach Edey and Travion Williams were really held in check but still won even after briefly falling behind in the second half.
Since the only way to continue this season is a victory tonight against Purdue, we ask the important question.
