With just four games remaining in the regular season, Penn State men’s basketball is in need of a win on the road Thursday night against the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Nittany Lions are hoping to avoid slipping in the Big Ten tournament seeding coming down the final stretch of the season, and a win in Columbus would help that cause while keeping hopes of playing in the NCAA tournament alive.
Penn State is very much on the bubble for the big dance, so it will be up to Jaloen Pikcett to continue turning in a terrific season to help get the Nittany Lions back into the tournament. This is the only matchup of the season between Penn State and Ohio State, and the Buckeyes are a slight favorite at home despite being five games under .500 with no shot at playing in the tournament without a Big Ten tournament championship. This is a game Penn State needs to have end in its favor, without question.
Here show to catch all of the Big Ten basketball action on Thursday evening.
