NEW YORK -- Tony Carr scored 25 points and hit two 3-pointers and set up another in the final minutes as Penn State made a late rush to hold off Northwestern 65-57 in the second round of the Big Ten Conference Tournament on Thursday night.
The win snapped a three-game losing streak for the seventh-seeded Nittany Lions (20-12) and set up a quarterfinal game on Friday against No. 13 and second-seeded Ohio State at Madison Square Garden.
Carr hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 4:06 to play to give Penn State a 55-54 lead and ignite a game-closing 13-2 run.
