COL BKB: Ohio State 82, Penn State 61

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa., March 2 (UPI) -- Jon Diebler connected on 10 three-pointers and William Buford scored 21 points Tuesday, powering top-ranked Ohio State to an 82-61 win over Penn State.

Diebler's uncanny performance from long range was a record for the Buckeyes (28-2, 15-2 Big Ten), who used the victory to clinch at least a tie for the Big Ten regular season title.

Jared Sullinger contributed 10 points and 10 rebounds in Ohio State's third straight win.

The Nittany Lions (15-13, 8-9) got 18 points and five rebounds from Talor Battle, but it wasn't enough to prevent their 15th straight loss to the Buckeyes.
