Penn State vs Ohio State Preview
The Buckeyes played away from their gym for the first time all season on Wednesday, pounding the No. 7 North Carolina Tar Heels 74-49 in Chapel Hill to improve to 8-0.
Ohio State held the Tar Heels to 17-of-62 (27.4%) shooting from the field. UNC head coach Roy Williams hadn’t lost at home by more than 21 points in his 18-year tenure with the school before the 25-point defeat.
“We have so much respect for this program,” Buckeyes head coach Chris Holtmann said of North Carolina, according to 247 Sports. “I couldn’t have more respect for Coach Williams than what I do. To come in here and perform well, I was really pleased with our team and our players.
“I am proud of our guys. I thought we weathered some times when we didn’t perform particularly well, especially with some turnovers. We have to get better with that.”
Ohio State sophomore guard Duane Washington Jr. led all participants with 18 points, his season high, shooting 4-of-8 from 3-point range.
“We got some shots up earlier today in the gym and my teammates did a great job of finding me,” Washington said, per 247 Sports. “The coaches did a great job in calling some sets and it was me just trusting the offense and letting it come to me and not getting controlled by the game. I put them up and a couple of them went in early.”
The Nittany Lions improved to 7-1 on Wednesday, besting the Wake Forest Demon Deacons 76-54 at home.
PSU sophomore guard Myreon Jones scored a game-high 22 points on 8-of-13 shooting. Redshirt senior forward Mike Watkins grabbed 16 rebounds and notched 5 blocks, both game highs, to go with 7 points, 3 steals, and a pair of assists.
Penn State helped Wake Forest to 20 turnovers, limiting their foes to 17-of-58 (29.3%) shooting. The Nittany Lions grabbed nearly as many offensive rebounds (17) as the Demon Deacons had defensive boards (23).
“I thought our defense set the tone for this game,” Penn State head coach Patrick Chambers said, according to The Associated Press. “We defended. We rebounded. We really challenged our team.”
Penn State closed the first half on an 11-1 run, carrying an 18-1 advantage into the midway break.
“I thought that last four minutes of the first half really set the tone going into the second half,” Chambers said, per the Daily Collegian. “I thought they really held down the fort. Not only held down the fort, but increased the lead. We did that at Syracuse as well.
