STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (KDKA/AP) - Ohio State's Jon Diebler scored a career high of 30 points on Tuesday night as No. 1 Ohio State beat Penn State 82-61 to clinch at least a share of the Big Ten title.

Diebler scored all of his 30 points from behind the three-point line and OSU built a 15-point lead at the end of the first half.

Ohio State can claim the conference title outright with a win over No. 10 Wisconsin on Sunday.
