Zach Edey scored 30 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, and No. 5 Purdue hung on to beat Penn State 67-65 in the Big Ten Tournament championship game Sunday at the United Center.
Penn State made things interesting in the final minute. Purdue led 66-60 when Myles Dread nailed a 3 with 16 seconds remaining. Evan Mahaffey then stole Brandon Newman's inbound pass and fed Camren Wynter for a layup that made it a 1-point game with six seconds remaining. Edey, the Big Ten Player of the Year, shook off the constant double teams and delivered another big performance for Purdue's fifth straight win. The 7-foot-4 center made 12 of 17 shots.
Penn State had won eight of nine to put itself in position to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 12 years. The Nittany Lions were the third double-digit seed to reach the Big Ten final and first since Illinois in 2008.
