It’s off to another challenge as we traverse this tough Big Ten basketball schedule for Ohio State. There’s no denying this Buckeye squad is getting better as the season progresses, but this league has a way of humbling you just when you think things are turning in the right direction.

Enter the Penn State Nittany Lions.

Don’t let the record fool you. This team is starting to play much better after a rough start to the season and have won back-to-back Big Ten games (a feat in itself) against Rutgers and Northwestern, both in Happy Valley.

Now it’s time to see if Penn State can continue its forward momentum, hitting the road against an OSU team that presents a lot of challenges on the offensive end. Or, will Ohio State continue its improved run towards the postseason.

It’s the Big Ten, so expect the unexpected.
