A big, important road win for the Lions (rare this year).   But again, a tough game.

Key Penn State player Jalen Pickett only had 2 points in the first half of the game as he ended up sitting 9 minutes of the half on the bench with 3 fouls.  Even so, Penn State was able to play the Buckeyes even for that half (37-37).

Pickett returned to the floor in the second half and contributed 21 of Penn State's 38 second half points.  Most importantly, Pickett scored all 14 of Penn State's final 14 points in the game, allowing the team to finally pull away from the Buckeyes in the last 7 minutes of the game.

Seth Lundy had a good game adding 19 points for the Lions.  Camren Wynter contributed 18 points as well.

Penn State out shot Ohio State 52% to 46% for field goals (53% to 35% for 3 pointers).  Ohio State out rebounded Penn State 33 to 27.
