COLUMBUS — Tony Carr hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Penn State an 82-79 upset victory over No. 13 Ohio State on Thursday night, handing the Buckeyes their first Big Ten loss.
Carr had 28 points and was 4 for 5 from 3-point range for the Nittany Lions (14-8, 4-5 Big Ten), who were 11 for 14 from beyond the arc in beating a Top 25 team for the first time this season.
For Ohio State, playing its fifth game in 11 days, it was a huge disappointment in what has been a surprisingly good season.
Keita Bates-Diop led Ohio State (18-5, 9-1) with 25 points but was in foul trouble for much of the second half.
He had three 3-pointers in the last 2:07 to pull the Buckeyes back in it. He tied it with a 3-pointer with 5 seconds left, but Carr was able to connect with the desperation shot from deep as time ran out.
The Buckeyes had beaten much tougher teams on the way to winning the first nine conference games.
But they allowed Penn State to jump out to an early lead on four straight 3-pointers and had trouble turning momentum back their way until the final minutes.
