STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) – Penn State’s four senior starters will face their toughest opponent of the season in their last home game.
What a way for record-setting guard Talor Battle and his classmates to wind up their careers Tuesday in Happy Valley – hosting Ohio State in the Buckeyes’ first game since vaulting back into the No. 1 spot Monday of the AP Top 25 poll.
The border rivals find themselves on opposite ends of the NCAA tournament spectrum. The Buckeyes (27-2, 14-2 Big Ten) are a tournament lock and can clinch the regular-season league title by winning their final two games.
A win for the Nittany Lions (15-12, 8-8) would give a tremendous boost to their flailing NCAA tourney hopes. Penn State has beaten three ranked teams at home this season.
