Excluding his two brief injury-hampered appearances last season, Justice Sueing started every game he played in a Buckeye uniform entering this past weekend.
Sueing was one of just two players to start all 31 games for Ohio State in 2020-21, and the sixth-year forward was one of three Buckeyes that started the first 18 games of the 2022-23 campaign.
On Saturday, amid a five-game losing streak for the Buckeyes, Sueing was pulled from the starting lineup. In fact, Chris Holtmann opted to use a starting five he’d never used before. Isaac Likekele and Brice Sensabaugh started alongside one another for the first time this season, Roddy Gayle got the first start of his college career and Bruce Thornton and Zed Key rounded out the unit.
