Amid a three-game losing streak, Penn State’s NCAA Tournament chances are trending in the wrong direction.
The Nittany Lions missed Quad 1 opportunities last week by getting blown out on the road by No. 13 Illinois, 91-52, before falling in a tightly contested battle against No. 15 Oregon at home, 82-81.
While the recent losing streak has thrown a major dent into its postseason fate, Penn State still has plenty of time to get back on the right side of the tournament bubble.
