After Baldwin’s 3-pointer, Bruce Thornton made two free throws to get Ohio State within one point.
Zach Hicks made one of two from the line for a two-point Penn State lead and Ohio State’s Jamison Battle missed a 3-pointer with nine seconds left.
Penn State’s Qudus Wahab made a pair from the line for a four-point lead and Ohio State’s Dale Bonner was fouled on his driving layup that cut it to two with four seconds left.
