The Buckeyes will have two key big men back on Friday.
Just a day after both players were limited in Ohio State's open practice session at PPG Paints Arena, Kyle Young (concussion) and Zed Key (ankle) have both been cleared to play in Ohio State's NCAA Tournament opener against No. 10 seed Loyola.
Young is the Buckeyes' third-leading scorer, averaging 8.2 points per game, and his 4.9 rebounds are third only to E.J. Liddell and Key, who is putting up 8.1 points and 5.4 boards on average. Key has started 23 games this season while Young has come off the bench in all but two of his 25 appearances.
