Summary
- Penn State, last in the Big Ten, looks to spoil Ohio State's tournament hopes.
- Ohio State seeks an NCAA Tournament bid with a strong conference finish.
- Key players for both teams are dealing with recent injuries.
Penn State is set to host Ohio State in their final regular-season game, aiming to continue their role as a spoiler. The Nittany Lions, last in the Big Ten, are coming off a surprising 71-69 victory over Iowa.
Meanwhile, Ohio State recently secured a significant upset against then-No. 8 Purdue, boosting their NCAA Tournament at-large bid prospects. The Buckeyes welcomed back center Christoph Tilly after an ankle injury, and John Mobley Jr. adapted to playing with a taped finger.
Penn State's lineup may be impacted as guard Kayden Mingo is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Mingo had recently returned to play without a mask for his broken nose. Josh Reed will be honored on Senior Night, reflecting on his career-best season.
