STATE COLLEGE — Penn State opens Big Ten play Sunday evening when it hosts Ohio State at the Bryce Jordan Center, and the Nittany Lions will see a familiar face in the Buckeyes starting lineup.

Wheeler, a two-time Big Ten All-Defensive Team selection, has started all seven games for the Buckeyes this season, and he’s averaging 5.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.3 steals in 27.6 minutes per game. In four seasons at Penn State, Wheeler appeared in 127 games (84 starts) and averaged 3.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
