Penn State’s Big Ten Tournament journey came to a close with a 4-3 overtime loss to Ohio State on Saturday night. The team still has an 85% chance of making the NCAA Tournament, but 85% isn’t a sure-fire lock yet. NCAA Tournament selection is Sunday, March 23 at 3pm, but the Lions will likely know their fate by Saturday night.
