Friday’s first-round matchup with Loyola might have been Kyle Young’s last game in a Buckeye uniform. Just a day before tip-off in Pittsburgh, it was still unclear if the fifth-year forward would even play in it.
Upon finally getting clearance after missing the past three games with his third concussion in the past year, the oft-injured fan favorite Buckeye took time to contemplate his long college career when he donned the scarlet and gray for what could have been the final time.
“Just even putting on my jersey today, taking a moment to reflect on it. Because after the last time when I was out recently, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to come back or not,” Young said.
