Ohio State at Penn State live score updates, highlights, how to watch Big Ten game


STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Ohio State will play a familiar foe in a different place.

Thursday night, the Buckeyes will take on Penn State inside Rec Hall. It’s the former home of the Nittany Lions, one they moved out of in favor of the Bryce Jordan Center in 1996. It’s the fifth game for the men’s basketball program since it moved to newer digs, and the first time since then that the Buckeyes have visited.

Ohio State has won two straight games, while Penn State has lost two straight and six of seven.

Watch Ohio State’s Aaron Bradshaw impact game at both ends

Ohio State leads Penn State 16-11 with 11:26 left in the half. The start of the game has been highlighted by this sequence from sophomore center Aaron Bradshaw.

Ohio State leads early at Penn State

Freshman guard John Mobley Jr. has five quick points and an assist for the Buckeyes, who lead 7-4 at the first media timeout. Mobley has handled the ball more than Bruce Thornton in the early going, continuing a recent trend of the Buckeyes playing the junior more off the ball.

Thornton had the ball stripped on the last possession and, although he maintained possession, came to the bench shaking his left hand and grimacing with 15:26 left in the first half.

Here are some in-arena thoughts as Ohio State prepares to play Penn State.

Colin White still out for Ohio State

Freshman wing Colin White will miss his second consecutive game for the Buckeyes with a right leg injury. White suffered the injury at Purdue on Jan. 21 and watched the second half of that game and all of Monday’s win against Iowa with a walking boot on his leg.

Meechie Johnson Jr. will also miss his 11th game as he remains away from the team.

Penn State will be without Puff Johnson, who is missing his third consecutive game.
