Big Ten tournament score updates, highlights as Purdue basketball plays Penn State

Purdue basketball seeks its first Big Ten tournament championship since 2009 when it plays Penn State in the championship game. This is the Nittany Lions’ first title game appearance.

The Boilermakers defeated upstart Ohio State 80-66 in the semifinals behind Zach Edey (32 points, 14 rebounds), Brandon Newman and Braden Smith. Purdue is a possible No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

The Nittany Lions came into the conference tournament on the March Madness bubble, but they have won three games, beating Indiana in the semifinals. Jalen Pickett, Seth Lundy and Andrew Funk are Penn State’s primary weapons.

Purdue defeated Penn State twice in the regular season, 76-63 in Philadelphia on Jan. 8 (Edey had 30 points and 13 rebounds), and 80-60 in West Lafayette on Feb. 1 (Mason Gillis scored 29 points).
