I don't think this will be a blow out. OSU comes off a little tired and out of it with the big win on Sunday and struggles.

ET has a 15-10-7 type of game, with one of the other 4 starters getting 20.

OSU only by about 8.

71-63.

Despite a dismal season Penn State shouldn't be taken lightly at the Bryce Jordan Center. There will still be plenty of rabid Lions fans hoping for an upset.

OSU will win but it may not be a blowout.

For those of you making the trip to the game tonight welcome to Happy Valley! It's good to know there will be Buckeye fans in town.

Go Bucks!

This game worries me. After a very difficult stretch of Ill, Purdue and MSU....I expect a bit of a letdown. T. Battle is as good a player as there is IMO...I think this game will be closer then many think. I just want to get out of there with a win!
74-67

I think this is going to be a struggle...I am going with the Buckeyes by 3......Battle will miss a 3 to send it to overtime......

T-R-A-P game--this one worries the hell out of me...PSU is playing pretty good basketball right now,but I think the Bucks are victorious--by single digits.

I agree with the comments about this game possibly being a trap game and a struggle. OSU is coming off of three really tough games and this is a game that the players could overlook and not come out of the gates ready to play.

And Penn State is capable of beating OSU on their home court. I don't think OSU loses, but I think Penn State could keep it close through the first part of the second half before Turner decides to put the game away.

Penn State has about a 1 in 5 chance of winning this game. Don't let Battle go off and the Bucks win a close one. If Battle goes off, the Buckeyes lose.

Battle went off in first game, 24pts, 9rbs and 7 asst. Key is not letting him get 30+, and limiting what the others do. Battle will get his 20+.

Danger game!

After playing three tough opponents, the last thing the Buckeyes need to do is overlook Penn State.

Battle went off in first game,

I think the difference is the venue. If Battle is not controlled the fans(if there are any) might get involved in the game.

Eh, the fans don't mean much imo. OSU just went into the Breslin Center and handed MSU an L. Their fans are way more intense especially when the Spartans made it close.

Battle will get his 20+, you just cannot let other guys get more than their averages.

OSU will only play 6, starters + Madsen.

This would be my thoughts, as well.

Classic trap game.

I'll be happy with a win. Period.

Exactly, to say it's a trap is too much of a trap. A real trap game is a surprise.

Just remember it wasn't that long ago in 2007 Ohio State was ranked #2 in the country and nearly got knocked off in Happy Valley by a Penn State team with a 1-10 record in the Big Ten. I hope this game is nowhere near the two points win back then.

Nice block on Turner.
