Christoph Tilly - College Basketball News & Rumors

Out vs. Iowa Tilly (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's game against Iowa.

Impact Tilly won't be an option for OSU, and his absence will be a huge loss for them, given his play in the frontcourt. Tilly is averaging 11.3 points per game this season in his 26 starts in 2025-26.

Quiet vs. Badgers Tilly chipped in two points (1-3 FG), four rebounds and three assists in 19 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 86-69 victory over Wisconsin.

Impact Ohio State picked up its best win yet this season, but that was no thanks to Tilly. His two points were his second-lowest output in 2025-26, and he simply didn't assert himself that much on either end of the floor. He'll look for a bounce-back outing Saturday at Michigan State.

Not himself in return Tilly notched zero points (0-8 FG), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Saturday's 92-82 loss to Wisconsin.

Impact Tilly gave it a go here after missing Monday's game against Penn State due to a lower body injury, but he clearly wasn't himself, getting held scoreless for the first time all year and spending much of the second half on the bench. Ivan Njegovan got some run in his stead, but much of the game was spent in a smaller lineup with freshman Amare Bynam at the five. The Buckeyes have a slight break in the schedule before Thursday's road matchup against Maryland, but it still might be worth glancing at the injury report to make sure Tilly's name doesn't resurface.

Starting against Wisconsin Tilly (lower body) is listed amongst Ohio State's starting five ahead of Saturday's game against Wisconsin.

Impact Tilly will make his return to action against Wisconsin after sitting out during Monday's win over Penn State with a lower-body injury. The 7-foot senior, who is averaging 12.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists across 19 starts, will look to help the Buckeyes pull off an upset in Madison.

Game-time call Saturday Tilly (lower body) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against Wisconsin.

Impact Tilly, who sat out during Monday's game against Penn State with a lower-body injury, remains listed as questionable just hours ahead of Saturday's tilt with the Badgers. The 7-foot senior has started in 19 games this season after transferring in from Santa Clara, averaging 12.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists on 26.8 minutes per game. Tilly's status will continue to be monitored during pregame warmups in Madison.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to face Badgers Tilly (lower body) is questionable for Ohio State's clash with Wisconsin on Saturday, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Tilly didn't play in the Buckeyes' win over Penn State on Monday, missing his first game of the 2025-26 campaign. The starting forward, who averages 12.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists, is a firm question mark for Ohio State's road trip to Madison on Saturday.

Dealing with lower-body injury Tilly missed Monday's game against Penn State due to a lower-body injury, according to Connor Lemons of SB Nation.

Impact Tilly went through warmups and shootaround, but in the end, he was ruled out with what the team described as a "lower-body injury." It's unclear whether he'll be able to recover in time to face Wisconsin on Saturday, but losing Tilly would be a big blow for the Buckeyes. He's averaging 12.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game this season.

Out vs. Penn State Tilly (undisclosed) is out against Penn State on Monday.

Impact Tilly has started every game for the Buckeyes this season, but he'll miss his first contest of the 2025-26 campaign against Penn State, arguably the worst team in the Big Ten. Till, who averages 12.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists, will look to return on Jan. 31 at Wisconsin.

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.

JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Hoping to play Saturday Head coach Jake Diebler said that he's hopeful Tilly (head) will be available for Saturday's game against UCLA, Adam Jardy of Dispatch.com reports.

Impact Tilly's injury was initially reported as a rib issue, but the big man is actually battling a head injury. He suffered the injury in Ohio State's previous game. While Diebler is hopeful Tilly will be available, his availability likely won't be confirmed until much closer to Saturday's 1:00pm ET tipoff.

Suffers rib injury Tilly (rib) exited Sunday's contest due to a rib injury in the second half, per Rocco Miller of The Field of 68.

Impact Tilly suffered the injury early in the second half of Sunday's contest and was unable to make his return. The 7-foot big man had been a star for the Buckeyes this season, averaging 12.7 points and 5.4 rebounds in 27 minutes per game across 15 contests. The details and severity of his injury are thus far unknown, but his next opportunity to return to action will come when the Buckeyes host 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. The senior forward has been quieter on the glass as of late, but it was still a good bounce-back outing for Tilly as the Buckeyes really enter the thick of conference play.

Second-straight double-double Tilly supplied 12 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists across 28 minutes during Saturday's 71-70 loss to North Carolina.

Impact Tilly has now scored 12 or more in three straight, and Saturday was his second of two double-doubles on the year. The senior center remains a viable fantasy option as long as he can consistently avoid foul trouble.
