FightOnState.com: OhioState Preview
- “Penn State has lost 26 straight Big Ten road games. Including conference tournament action, the Nittany Lions have dropped 29 consecutive league outings away from the BJC. Penn State’s last Big Ten road win was at Iowa (78-73) in the next to last game of the 2000-01 regular season.
- From the oops department: The OSU press notes list Marlon Smith as a probable starter for the game, even though the sophomore guard has been lost for the season (and potentially will not play again) due to a blood clot in the brain.
- Claxton has been the most effective Lion in Big Ten play, where he is averaging 15.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.”
