No. 1 Purdue basketball feels good after holding on in a tight game as it plays Penn State.

The Boilermakers (14-1, 3-1 Big Ten) are coming off a 71-69 victory at Ohio State. For the second game in a row, Fletcher Loyer hit a late go-ahead 3-pointer, and this time they made it stand. Zach Edey did what he does (16 points, 11 rebounds), and Braden Smith scored 16 with 6 assists. After a frigid 0-of-8 start on 3-pointers, Purdue made 13-of-23 the rest of the way.

Penn State (11-4, 2-2) has split two games this week, holding on against Iowa at home and losing at Michigan. Jalen Pickett leads the Nittany Lions in scoring (17.4), rebounding (7.5) and assists (7.3). Seth Lundy adds 13.7 points and 6.7 rebounds, and Andrew Funk 12.1 points, making 3 3-pointers per game.
