Ohio State didn’t need any added adversity. Not this year. Not during this stretch.
In the midst of the team’s toughest three-week period since Chris Holtmann arrived in Columbus, the Buckeyes will now be forced to play without their starting power forward, Kyle Young, who will be out “several weeks” after suffering a stress fracture that he “exacerbated” with a fall during the team’s loss to Maryland. Somehow, with one spill from Young, Ohio State’s situation became even more dire.
After opening the season 12-1, blowing away predictions that had them ranked in the bottom half of the Big Ten, the Buckeyes look completely vulnerable.
