Late-Game Execution Allowed Ohio State to Beat Penn State After Ugly Second Half Put Result In Doubt
A year ago, Kaleb Wesson said it best: “A win is a win in the Ten.”
He’s gone, but the point remains the same. As long as the Big Ten remains college basketball’s deepest conference, nobody on Ohio State’s roster will spend too much time bemoaning the ugliness of a game if the result is the one the team wants. It was true last season, and it’s still the case this season.
What went down at the Schottenstein Center on Wednesday night won’t get remembered as the most pleasant and satisfying win in Buckeyes basketball history. Far from it, in fact. But, the 83-79 victory against Penn State was a win, and for a while that appeared in doubt.
