Luther Muhammad, Duane Washington Jr. Suspended For Ohio State's Game Against Nebraska

Ohio State will be without two of its key guards for its next game.

Sophomore guards Luther Muhammad and Duane Washington Jr. have been suspended for Tuesday night's game against Nebraska for failure to meet program standards and expectations.

Due to their absences, point guards CJ Walker and DJ Carton are expected to start together in the backcourt for the Buckeyes versus the Cornhuskers. With Musa Jallow still out after having preseason ankle surgery, Ohio State will have almost nonexistent depth in its backcourt. No other scholarship player on the roster primarily plays a guard, meaning someone like sophomore forward Justin Ahrens could be forced to play minutes at shooting guard.
