So, how's this for a finish?
Five seconds, two deep 3-pointers, one buzzer beater. Penn State vs. No. 13 Ohio State had it all.
Trailing by three with five seconds left, Buckeyes forward Keita Bates-Diop drilled a deep 3-pointer to tie the game at 79 after trailing by nine with under 3:00 to play. With Value City Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center in a frenzy, Nittany Lions guard Tony Carr took the ball up the court on the ensuing possession and let one final shot go just a few steps inside the half-court line.
Ball game.
WHAT. A. FINISH.
