Ohio State staves off a second-half comeback and sweeps its regular-season series with Penn State, beating the Nittany Lions 61-56 at the Schott.

E.J. Liddell led all scorers with nine points on 3-for-6 shooting in the first half, but no Buckeye finished particularly hot, as the team hit just one of its final nine shots before the halftime buzzer sounded.

Penn State strung some baskets together to stay within striking distance through the middle of the half, but three straight Ohio State buckets capped off by a Eugene Brown dunk put the Buckeyes up, 44-34, to force a Penn State timeout at 8:54. Penn State had a chance to cut the Buckeye lead down to one possession in the final 1:30, but turned it over as Young came up with a steal and called timeout. On the next Buckeye possession, Young sank a pair of free throws and the Buckeyes ultimately closed out the win.Ohio State stays at home for a Tuesday meeting with IUPUI with the tip-off slated for 7 p.m.Ohio State has won three straight games against Penn State entering Sunday, and five of its past six dating back to 2019.
