CHICAGO — Tamar Bates switched onto Penn State’s Andrew Funk as the shot clock wound down. Moving to his right, the sharpshooting Funk took a dribble and hoisted up a 3-pointer from 28 feet out. It went in and Penn State extended its lead to 11 with less than four minutes to play. Bates jogged back down the floor, shaking his head.
There was a lot of head shaking on Indiana’s side of the United Center on Saturday. It’s all the Hoosiers could do as their run at a Big Ten tournament ended at the hands of the Nittany Lions, 77-73.
