The brackets for next weekend's NCAA Championships were released on Wednesday evening in a live streamed selection show on NCAA.com. Eight of the nine of the Penn State wrestlers who qualified for the national tournament received top-five seeds.
Penn State avenged its early-February loss to Nebraska and snapped a five-game losing streak that started with the Cornhuskers defeat in a 76-67 Big Ten Tournament first round win over Tim Miles' side.
Two of the coldest Power-Five teams in the country collide in the 12-seed vs.13-seed game on Wednesday at the Verizon Center.
No. 3 Penn State men's lacrosse remained undefeated in a rare Tuesday afternoon spring break faceoff against Furman today. Shaky defense made it a one-goal game late in the fourth, but dominant second and third quarters were enough to push the Nittany Lions (6-0) past the Paladins 12-10.
The point guard started in all 31 games this season, registering a team-high 13.2 points per game and 4.2 assists per game to become the first Nittany Lion selected to the All-Freshman team since 2006.
The Nittany Lions will join Pitt, Oklahoma State, and Texas A&M for the tournament's Championship Rounds at the home of the Brooklyn Nets Nov. 20-21.
