Ohio State has played a lot of games coming down the stretch of Big Ten play and the coaching staff was hopeful that a little time off would help the team get healthy. Already spending the season without forwards Justice Sueing and Seth Towns, the Buckeyes lost Zed Key to an ankle injury and Kyle Young to concussion protocols over the last couple of games.
However, according to head coach Chris Holtmann, there is still cause for concern on that front. While holding a media appearance Wednesday, Holtmann said that Young is still out and that Key will be a game-time decision. Guard Meechie Johnson will be available after turning his ankle
With Young out and Key questionable, we could see more of Joey Brunk again. He was an unexpected force against Michigan State at home last week but kept more in check against Michigan on Sunday.
Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann said senior forward Kyle Young will be out for the Big Ten Tournament game on Thursday. Sophomore center Zed Key is a game-time decision. Justice Sueing is also out but everyone else is available.
