(University Park)–Lamar Stevens led all scorers as the Penn State Nittany Lions defeated the No. 21 Ohio State Buckeyes 90-76. Penn State is now 13-5 on the season and 3-4 in the Big Ten conference after snapping a three game losing streak.

Stevens reached 1000 career points in Big Ten conference play on his way to tallying 24 in the contest.

Four Nittany Lions scored in double figures as Myreon Jones contributed 20, and Myles Dread and Seth Lundy each added 12. For the freshman Lundy, it was his second stright double figure game coming in his two-straight starts.

The host Lions shot 53.7 percent from the field for the game and scored at least 80 points for the ninth time this year. The 90 scored against Ohio State were the most allowed by the Buckeyes so far in the 2019-20 season.
