Eugene Brown has been on the brink of a breakthrough more than once this season.
Unfortunately for the sophomore Buckeye guard, small setbacks have popped up to stunt that progress on each occasion. Brown’s latest affliction is a toe injury that forced him to sit out of Ohio State’s Sunday win over Maryland, as the Georgia native wore a walking boot on his left foot during pregame warmups. The issue isn’t expected to keep him out long, but the timing isn’t ideal for a player who was coming off of perhaps the best stretch of his young career.
