Devin Royal - College Basketball News & Rumors

Solid output in loss Royal closed with 15 points (6-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 82-61 loss to Michigan.

Impact Royal had another solid game for the Buckeyes, but it simply wasn't enough to pull off an upset of this magnitude against a team like Michigan. The forward is having a strong season, averaging 13.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists, but notably, his three-point shot has fallen off as of late; he's just 2-of-20 from downtown in his last six games.

Starting in Madison Royal is part of Ohio State's starting five against Wisconsin on Saturday.

Impact Royal was a question mark to face the Badgers, but the junior forward will be available and get the start. He averages 13.9 points and 5.7 rebounds for the Buckeyes this season.

Questionable vs. Badgers Royal (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game at Wisconsin.

Impact Royal has been a regular starter for the Buckeyes this season and has been in the first unit in every game so far. Not having him in the lineup would be massive for Ohio State, as Royal is averaging 13.9 points per game this season across 19 contests.

Bounces back with 14 in win Royal racked up 14 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 35 minutes during Monday's 84-78 win over Penn State.

Impact Royal was held to four points on 2-of-8 shooting in the Buckeyes' loss to Michigan, snapping a streak of 14 straight games with double digit points, but the junior wing bounced back in the win over Penn State with a clean 14 points on eight shots. He was somewhat quiet on the glass with just three rebounds, but Ohio State still got in the victory column and that looks to be an outlier for Royal, who averages 13.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists.

Strong outing not enough Royal closed Monday's 72-69 loss to Nebraska with 14 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 37 minutes.

Impact Royal had yet another strong performance for the Buckeyes, but it wasn't enough to beat Nebraska, who look like destiny's team a week into 2026. The junior forward has his double-digit points in 10 straight games for the Buckeyes, and though he's been cold from distance in his last three outings, hitting just 1-of-9 shots, he's shooting a carer-best 35.6 percent from beyond the arc this season.

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.
