Ohio State Sees An 18-Point Second-Half Lead Evaporate As the Buckeyes Fall to Penn State 83-80

It took exactly 8:40 for Ohio State's 18-point second-half lead to evaporate down to 1.

Following a strong first 25 minutes or so, the Buckeyes gave up 54 second-half points to Penn State. A complete reversal of fortunes saw the Nittany Lions go from shooting 2-of-9 from 3 in the first half to 8-of-15 in the second and from 34.4% from the field to 60.6%.

A 25-9 run took the Ohio State lead from 55-37 to 64-62 with less than eight minutes to play. Leo O'Boyle's fourth 3 in five attempts tied things at 74-74 with 2:33 remaining.
