The Penn State men’s basketball team is playing in its first Big Ten Tournament Championship game since 2011 — and second in program history — after tight wins against Illinois, Northwestern and Indiana. The 10th-seeded Nittany Lions face No. 1 seed Purdue in the tournament final at 3:30 p.m. Sunday on CBS.

The day’s drama won’t end when the game does. The NCAA Tournament bracket will be revealed on CBS soon after the Big Ten Tournament wraps up.
