Ohio State and Penn State will face off on the hardwood Thursday evening for a second time this season. If the sequel lives up to the first edition, we’re in for a dandy.
When the Buckeyes faced the Nittany Lions back in late January, they were a team still finding themselves while battling through injuries. OSU would lead by as many as 12 points in the first half before allowing Penn State to take an eight-point lead late into the second period.
Ohio State stormed back and made some key free throws down the line to ice the game and give the Buckeyes an 83-79 victory in Value City Arena.
Now the Bucks are ranked No. 4 in the nation and seem to be playing with a real sense of purpose. Penn State can be a pesky team and Chris Holtman’s club can’t get caught looking ahead to a huge showdown with No. 3 Michigan on Sunday.
