Ohio State learned Thursday that beating a team a second time is no easy feat.
The Buckeyes couldn’t pull it off in their second meeting with Wisconsin in a little over a month, but they’ll have the luxury of home court advantage when they vie for a repeat victory against Penn State at noon on Sunday.
Micah Shrewsberry’s first Penn State team is 8-6 on the year so far and .500 in Big Ten play. The Nittany Lions lost to the Buckeyes, 76-64, at home on Dec. 5, but have rattled off four wins in six games since then.
