Ohio State at Penn State live score updates, highlights, how to watch Big Ten game

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Ohio State will play a familiar foe in a different place.

Thursday night, the Buckeyes will take on Penn State inside Rec Hall. It’s the former home of the Nittany Lions, one they moved out of in favor of the Bryce Jordan Center in 1996. It’s the fifth game for the men’s basketball program since it moved to newer digs, and the first time since then that the Buckeyes have visited.

Ohio State has won two straight games, while Penn State has lost two straight and six of seven.

Follow along with our Columbus Dispatch live game blog below.

Ohio State leads Penn State 16-11 with 11:26 left in the half. The start of the game has been highlighted by this sequence from sophomore center Aaron Bradshaw.

Freshman guard John Mobley Jr. has five quick points and an assist for the Buckeyes, who lead 7-4 at the first media timeout. Mobley has handled the ball more than Bruce Thornton in the early going, continuing a recent trend of the Buckeyes playing the junior more off the ball.

Thornton had the ball stripped on the last possession and, although he maintained possession, came to the bench shaking his left hand and grimacing with 15:26 left in the first half.

Here are tonight’s starters.

Ohio State: Bruce Thornton, John Mobley Jr., Micah Parrish, Devin Royal, Sean Stewart

Penn State: Ace Baldwin Jr., Nick Kern Jr., Freddie Dilione V, Zach Hicks, Yanic Konan Niederhauser

Here are some in-arena thoughts as Ohio State prepares to play Penn State.

Colin White still out for Ohio State

Freshman wing Colin White will miss his second consecutive game for the Buckeyes with a right leg injury. White suffered the injury at Purdue on Jan. 21 and watched the second half of that game and all of Monday’s win against Iowa with a walking boot on his leg.

Meechie Johnson Jr. will also miss his 11th game as he remains away from the team.

Penn State will be without Puff Johnson, who is missing his third consecutive game.

Sieh Bangura runs for 149 yards and a score, helps Ohio beat UNLV 17-10 in Frisco Bowl

Sieh Bangura runs for 149 yards and a score, helps Ohio beat UNLV 17-10 in Frisco Bowl

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Sieh Bangura rushed for 149 yards and a touchdown and Ohio beat UNLV 17-10 on Tuesday night to win the Frisco Bowl.

The Bobcats (9-4) have won their last seven bowl games — dating to 2017 — after losing eight of their first 10.

Defensive coordinator and interim head coach John Hauser led Ohio to this victory after head coach Brian Smith was fired earlier in the month for having an affair with an undergraduate student.

Ohio’s Parker Navarro had a 5-yard touchdown run on a quarterback keeper five minutes into the second quarter for the only score of the first half. The lead was 6-0 after David Dellenbach’s extra-point kick hit the right upright.

UNLV (10-4) had a first down on the Bobcats’ 33-yard line with 32 second left, but DJ Walker picked off an Anthony Colandrea pass in the end zone to keep it 6-0.

Bangura scored on a 23-yard run less than four minutes into the third quarter, and Navarro passed to Chase Hendricks for the two-point conversion and a 14-0 lead.

Hendricks muffed a punt at the end of UNLV’s first possession and Kayden McGee recovered at the Ohio 30. The Rebels settled for a career-long 50-yard field goal by Ramon Villela to cut it to 14-3.

Dellenbach kicked a 45-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter, but Colandrea scored on a fourth-and-goal run from the 2 to get the Rebels within 17-10 with 4:45 remaining. UNLV never got the ball back in falling to 4-4 all time in bowl games.

Navarro completed 11 of 15 passes for 143 yards with an interception. Bangura did his damage on 19 carries.

Colandrea totaled 184 yards on 19-for-30 passing.

UNLV had the nation’s longest run of scoring at least 20 points end at 35 games.

Ohio AG on human trafficking: It’s not rich and poor, it’s literally all around us

Ohio AG on human trafficking: It’s not rich and poor, it’s literally all around us

COLUMBUS, Ohio — For the second time in two years, the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force and the Steubenville Police Department have joined forces to combat human trafficking crimes.

In October, the operation led to the arrest of eight individuals for sex trafficking offenses, including men from Follansbee and St. Clairsville.

Earlier, in July 2024, 10 men from Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia were apprehended and charged with solicitation and possession of criminal tools.

“It just goes to show that human trafficking happens everywhere,” Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said. “This isn’t a big city thing, it happens in small towns, it happens out in the country. It’s not rich and poor, it’s literally all around us.

“I am hopeful that the message is going out around Ohio and Steubenville and the Mahoning Valley — Don’t Buy Sex in Ohio!”

He also highlighted the support provided to survivors during these operations.

“We always have social service providers that partner with us that are on site. So, whether it’s something simple like a meal or a shower or something as necessary as an addiction treatment bed — we’re there to try and help provide the resource,” Yost added.
