COLUMBUS, Ohio — Evan Turner scored 22 of his 27 points in the second half and Jon Diebler hit a critical 3-pointer to lead No. 13 Ohio State to a 75-62 victory over Penn State on Wednesday night.
The Buckeyes (17-6, 7-3 Big Ten) closed the game on a 10-0 run and handed the Nittany Lions their 10th straight loss.
Diebler had not scored until he hit a shot from behind the arc with 1:29 left to give the Buckeyes some breathing room after Penn State (8-14, 0-10) had cut the lead to 65-62.
William Buford added 19 points and David Lighty had 12 for the Buckeyes, who have won their last six conference games and have beaten the Nittany Lions in their last 12 meetings.
