Penn State couldn’t beat the Buckeyes in its own backyard last month, and despite a promising run late on Sunday, the Nittany Lions fell short again at the Schottenstein Center in the second matchup.
Ohio State made it a regular-season sweep of the Nittany Lions with a 61-56 win at home Sunday, and the Buckeyes put the clamps on Penn State – which was without leading scorer Seth Lundy – as it struggled to put the ball in the hole for much of the contest.
The Buckeyes had a rough day from the floor as well, but dominated on the glass and managed to stay out in front of the Nittany Lions by a couple possessions as the game entered its latter stages.
