This was another game that made Ohio State University basketball fans sweat. The Buckeyes ended another close match. It seems that they can only play evenly matched games. The important thing is to walk out of the state university with victory, and this is exactly what they did.

Despite giving up a fairly impressive lead, Ohio State still defeated Pennsylvania State University 76-64. In the second half, Buckeye's lead was as high as 18 points. Despite seeing the shrinkage of lead, they did not give up completely. This is the most important. Although EJ Liddell played his worst game of the year, they did it.

Liddell is not an important factor in scoring. He only scored 14 points on 4-9 shooting. He was double-teamed for most of the first half and was forced to give up the ball. He did this and kept making correct passes while his teammates made shots.

Kyle Young played his best game of the year in this game. He is a three-pointer making machine that has exhausted all his four-pointers on the bench. He actually led the team with 16 points and added 7 rebounds. Yang may be the most valuable player on this team.

After leaving college, Jamari Wheeler performed well in his first game back to Pennsylvania State University. He had 9 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals. He did his best to help his new team beat the old team.

This is the Buckeyes' first victory in the Big Ten League. When the poll results come out tomorrow, they should be ranked again. It is always good to start a divisional game with a victory, especially on the road. They just need to maintain this strong performance.

By March, the Ohio State Basketball Team may be a very good team!
