Ohio State basketball vs. Penn State preview, prediction, odds

Ohio State is set to host Penn State in a rescheduled game from earlier in January Wednesday night. We’ve got your preview and prediction.

How It’ll All Go Down

Ohio State is getting better and better at this whole basketball thing. The offense is really efficient as of late and it’s going to be awfully tough for Penn State to match up across the board on defense. The Nittany Lions will make baskets in a higher-scoring affair and make this thing a ballgame. But the depth and scoring ability from too many guys in scarlet and gray will result in OSU winning another game in the rough and tumble Big Ten.

Final Score

Ohio State 81, Penn State 74
