The Ohio State Buckeyes at one point led Penn State comfortably in the first half, but the Nittany Lions turned a once 12-point deficit into an 8-point lead in the second half.

Considering the Buckeyes had their worst game of the season from a turnovers perspective, and given that things had really flipped into PSU's favor in the second half, Ohio State's poise late in the game was awfully impressive in an eventual 83-79 victory on Wednesday night.

E.J. Liddell led the way both with 22 points, but also with 10-of-10 from the free throw line. The Scarlet and Gray combined to hit 20-of-21 from the stripe on the night, which continues to be a major point of pride for this club.
