As was mentioned yesterday, it's a testament to the world we live in when watching a Ticketmaster loading page is the most nerve-racking experience of the day.

Penn State dug themselves an early hole. Later on, Pat Chambers picked up a technical foul and Tim Frazier struggled to put his shoe on at one point. It was that kind of night for the Nittany Lions (10-12, 2-7) as they lost to No. 4 Ohio State (18-3, 6-2) 78-54.
