The Buckeyes’ dominance at home continued this evening as they won their 15th home game of the season and their 37th straight overall as they dismantled the Nittany Lions 78-54. Jared Sullinger led OSU with 20 points and 13 rebounds, while William Buford added 15 points and 9 boards. The Buckeyes kept Penn State scoreless for the first five minutes and never looked back from the 24-6 lead they created. Penn State, missing two rotation players, shot just 31%, and the Buckeyes locked it down on defense and left plenty of time for the young bench guns to put up some solid performances. The Buckeyes, now 6-2 in the conference, share first place with Michigan, and they’ll battle in The Schott on Sunday afternoon for the Big Ten lead.
