Available vs. UCLA Tilly (head) is available for Saturday's game against UCLA.

Impact Fortunately for Tilly and Ohio State, it looks like no absence is needed from the reliable senior who has helped OSU become a potential threat in the Big Ten Conference. He has been providing solid scoring and rebounding from Ohio State's frontcourt, with 12.4 points and 5.4 boards per game to back him up. With the Bruins lacking someone as big as Tilly down low, and without Skyy Clark (hamstring) available, both the big man and Ohio State have a much more improved chance to excel against UCLA on Saturday.

Drops 14 in win over Ducks Tilly posted 14 points (4-6 FG, 6-9 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 72-62 victory over Oregon.

Impact Tilly had scored in the single digits in two straight games, but he got back into double figures against Oregon and did it on just six shots.
