Lundy enters the matchup against the Buckeyes as one of the best 3-point shooters in the Big Ten (44.1%) but has struggled a bit to find his stroke in recent games. Lundy has not scored over 15 points in any of the team’s last four games, including a seven-point (1-7 shooting from 3)performance in the win over Minnesota on Saturday.
But Lundy should be able to get some open looks against an Ohio State defense that ranks 60th in the nation in 3-point percentage allowed to opposing teams (31.6%).
While Ohio State would need a miracle to get back into the NCAA Tournament discussion this season, Penn State can start to build its resume with an upset win in Columbus on Thursday. Seth Lundy is going to need to find his stroke for the Nittany Lions to make that scenario come to fruition.
