Ohio State vs. Penn State 2020 basketball game preview and prediction

Ohio State travels to Penn State to try and get its first conference road win of the year. We’ve got your preview and prediction.

Key Player For Ohio State

Kaleb Wesson. Yes, again. He had a monster game in Columbus and everything fell into place. He’s been forcing things a little too much recently and it’s resulted in far too many turnovers for a big man. If he can settle himself down in the post, pass out of double teams and knock down the occasional outside shot, the Buckeyes have a chance in this one.

How It’ll All Go Down

I don’t like how this one sets up at all. Penn State got run over in Columbus and it’s going to come out looking to make a statement at home. Winning on the road in the Big Ten this year has been a Lord of the Rings type journey, and it’ll be that Saturday as well. Behind the home crowd, and with a little bit of OSU drama occurring with the team dynamic of Washington and Muhammad, this one doesn’t sound like a victory for the Buckeyes. I hope I’m wrong.

Final Score

Penn State 72, Ohio State 63
