For the first time in three years, Ohio State has completed a three-game winning streak in January. Perhaps even more impressive, two of the wins have come on the road.
The Buckeyes (13-8, 5-5 Big Ten) led by double digits much of the way at Penn State (13-9, 3-8) en route to an 83-64 victory, pulling their conference record back to .500 with consecutive wins over No. 11 Purdue, Iowa and the Nittany Lions.
