Ohio State 83, Penn State 79: Missed. Opportunity.

Stop me if you’ve read this before: Penn State held a commanding lead late into the second half against Ohio State, but ultimately blew it at the end. In homage to their football counterparts, the basketball team let a huge upset opportunity slip from their fingers.

It certainly didn’t look like it was going to be much of a game during the first several minutes, as Penn State looked like a team that never got off the bus. The Buckeyes were red-hot shooting the rock and were active on the offensive glass, allowing themselves to race out to a 14-2 advantage.
