The Nittany Lions traveled to Columbus on Thursday night in search of their third consecutive victory. Looking to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive, Micah Shrewsberry’s team did indeed pick up their third victory in a row. Following a 75-71 victory over Ohio State, Penn State is 17-11 on the season and now owns a trio of Quad 1 victories on the season.
The first half was a back-and-forth affair. A first half that had 12 lead changes, fittingly, ended with the Nittany Lions and Buckeyes tied at 37. For Penn State, they were happy to be tied at the half after Jalen Pickett picked up two fouls early in the half and had to sit for over 5 minutes as a result.
