Ohio State Upsets No. 8 Purdue To Strengthen NCAA Tournament Case

Puts up 15 in return Mobley ended with 15 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 74-57 loss to Iowa.

Impact Mobley returned from a three.-game absence and was right back in the starting five, where he saw a typical minutes allotment. His three-point shooting wasn't rusty, but he was a little careless with the basketball in what ended up being a lopsided defeat for an Ohio State team that's firmly on the NCAA Tournament bubble entering the weekend's slate of games. Next up, the Buckeyes host Purdue on Sunday.

Starting against Iowa Mobley (hand) is active and starting in Wednesday's matchup with Iowa.

Impact Mobley will make a return from a three-game absence as the Buckeyes face off against the Hawkeyes on Wednesday night. The 6-foot-2 sophomore, who is averaging 15.1 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.8 steals across 24 starts, will look to help OSU pick up a crucial resume-building win.

Questionable to play Wednesday Mobley (hand) is listed questionable to play in Wednesday's game against Iowa, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Mobley has missed the previous three games as he continues recovering from a hand injury but appears to be nearing a return. The 6-foot-2 guard would be a welcome addition to the Buckeyes' rotation as he has averaged 15.1 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 24 starts this season. His status should clear up closer to tipoff.

FEBRUARY 21 • Associated Press

Progressing, still no timeframe Mobley (hand) is progressing but remains without a specific time-frame for his return, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Mobley remains without a timetable to return, although head coach Jake Diebler said "It's not too far away," in regards to his return. The Buckeyes have just six more guaranteed games remaining, and the return of Mobley -- who averaged 15.1 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists prior to his absence -- would be a huge boost as Ohio State looks to secure an at-large NCAA Tournament bid.

FEBRUARY 4 • Associated Press

Held in check by Badgers Mobley finished Saturday's 92-82 loss to Wisconsin with nine points (4-12 FG, 1-8 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes.

Impact Mobley had been on a scoring tear going into this game, averaging 25.3 ppg over four games leading up to Saturday. He saw a few shots early, but then foul trouble disrupted his rhythm and foced him to spend more time on the bench than normal. In fact, it was his lowest single-game minutes total since Dec. 6. This is likely just a blip on the radar, as he remains Ohio State's best pure scorer and arguably their top fantasy asset. Next up is a road matchup against Maryland on Thursday.
