Brandon Noel - Likely back during B10 tournament Ohio State's head coach Jake Diebler announced that it is likely Noel (foot) will become available during the Big Ten tournament, according to Adam Jardy of The Columbus Dispatch.

Impact Diebler indicates that Noel will be out for Saturday's game against Indiana and focus on the Big Ten tournament that begins three days after Ohio State and IU log their regular-season finale. If the Buckeyes lose this weekend, they risk playing in the tourney's second round, scheduled for Wednesday. However, a Buckeyes win would not only cement them as a top-eight Big Ten team but give them and Noel an extra day to rest before a conference game Thursday. Having averaged 14.0 points in non-home conference matchups this season, he would be a great boost to a resilient and rising OSU.

Brandon Noel - Status day-to-day Noel (foot) is day-to-day, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Noel may be available when Ohio State's team logs its next game, currently scheduled for Saturday against Indiana. He would bring much-wanted forward depth to an OSU core that has not maximized its potential with Puff Johnson serving as a temporary replacement in the frontcourt. In four conference games for Ohio State this season, Noel scored 29 points at Northwestern and 14 points at Rutgers.
