Inefficient 15 in loss
Royal registered 15 points (4-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 88-80 loss to Illinois.
Impact
Royal's 15 points look good in the box score, but less so when you look at his shooting efficiency -- he needed 15 shots to hit 15 points, and was 1-of-6 from downtown. That lack of efficiency is part of why the Buckeyes fell to Illinois, but this looks like an outlier for Royal; he's posting 49/39/86 shooting splits this season.

Matches season high
Royal racked up 22 points (9-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 39 minutes during Friday's 67-66 loss to Pittsburgh.
Impact
Since missing a Nov. 11 contest due to a hip injury, Royal has increased his scoring total in each game back, culminating in Friday's effort that matched his season best set in the opener. He and the Buckeyes will now enjoy a week-long break before heading to Northwestern on Saturday to open Big Ten play.

Held in check vs. Fighting Irish
Royal closed Sunday's 64-63 victory over Notre Dame with seven points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 32 minutes.
Impact
Royal didn't have his best day from the field against the Fighting Irish, but he returned to action after missing the Buckeyes' win over Appalachian State and still found ways to contribute with six rebounds in a season-high 32 minutes of action. The forward's involvement in the offense has fluctuated heavily thus far in 2025-2026.

Available vs. Notre Dame
Royal (hip) is available for Sunday's game against Notre Dame, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact
It looks like Royal's latest hip injury will not cause multiple DNPs, considering he logged one Tuesday against Appalachian State. Last season saw him average 13.7 points and 6.9 rebounds. Just two games into Ohio State's current season, the aforementioned stats look far from a fluke, considering he is averaging 14.0 PPG and 5.5 RPG. On the other hand, it is worth noting that the rates may be skewed because of a multi-overtime game for one matchup and the hip injury occurring in the other matchup.

Won't play Tuesday
Royal has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Appalachian State due to a hip injury, Connor Lemons of Land-Grant Holy Land reports.
Impact
Royal started in both of the Buckeyes' first two games to open up the 2025-26 season, but he'll be sidelined for Tuesday's clash with the Mountaineers. His absence could open up more minutes for Amare Bynum and Colin White. Royal's next chance to play will come Sunday against Notre Dame.
