The Nittany Lions will take to the Bryce Jordan Center one last time this season (until they host a home game in the NIT, that is) on Tuesday night for Senior Night. Jared Sullinger and the number-one ranked Ohio State Buckeyes come to Happy Valley looking to secure a top seed in both the Big Ten Tournament next week and the Big Dance.
