PENN STATE LEADERS Scoring Leader: Battle (24) Rebounding Leader: Brooks & Jones (6) Assist Leader: Frazier (5)
Appearing in its first-ever Big Ten Tournament final and playing its fourth game in four days, Penn State ran out of gas, leaving several shots short in hitting 39 percent from the floor in a 71-60 loss to an Ohio State team that would go on to be the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. Talor Battle led Penn State with 24 points on 9-of-20 shooting and Jeff Brooks added 19 on 7-of-14, but Ohio State hit 51 percent from the floor and got balanced scoring from William Buford (18), Jared Sullinger (15 points, 11 rebounds) and Jon Diebler (15). Penn State played the Buckeyes close in the first half, holding them to 38 percent shooting and standing down three, 26-23, after a pair of Battle free throws with eight seconds in the half. Diebler hit an off-balance desperation three at the buzzer to give OSU a 29-23 halftime lead. The Buckeyes would shoot 64 percent in the second half and Penn State couldn’t keep pace. Back-to-back threes from Buford and Aaron Craft capped a 14-6 run to start the half that had OSU up 17 with 13:01 to play. Penn State got within 10 on a Battle three with 5:01 to play and within eight, 68-60, after a Battle lay-up with 31 seconds to play, but no closer as OSU claimed it’s second straight Big Ten Tournament title.

In a thrilling NCAA Tournament game full of guts and guile, No. 10 seed Penn State took No. 7 seed Temple to the wire before Juan Fernandez’s 17-foot leaning jumper at the buzzer elevated the Owls to a 66-64 victory in the second round of the 2011 NCAA Tournament. Playing without second-leading scorer and leading rebounder Jeff Brooks, who played just nine minutes in the first half with foul trouble and left the game just over a minute into the second after dislocating his right shoulder on a block attempt, Penn State refused to go quietly in the program’s first NCAA Tournament game in 10 years. Seniors Talor Battle and David Jackson stepped up with two big buckets down the stretch and when Battle rained in a 26-footer with 16 seconds to play, Penn State had the game tied at 64. Temple took a timeout to set up its offense. Penn State stayed man-to-man and the Owls moved the ball around to Fernandez who drove, had his momentum stopped by Tim Frazier, picked up the ball, pivoted, stepped between two defenders and hit a leaning game winner as time expired. The basket created the final margin in a second half that saw five ties and 12 lead changes and neither team lead by more than four points. Penn State seniors Battle, Jackson, Brooks, Andrew Jones and Steve Kirkpatrick left the floor of their final game in a Nittany Lion uniform having left everything on the floor.
