Josh Ojianwuna - Expected to miss more time Head coach Jake Diebler indicated Saturday that Ojianwuna (knee) is not expected to return soon as he progresses through court work, Adam Jardy of The Columbus Dispatch reports.
Impact Ojianwuna has been unable to play this season, however, Diebler stated "the door hasn't been closed" regarding his return to play this season and is progressing through court, which is a positive development for the senior forward. More news should surface in the near future.

Amare Bynum - Quietest outing yet Bynum provided two points (1-2 FG), one rebound and one block over 21 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 88-80 loss to Illinois.
Impact Bynum hasn't exactly stuffed the stat sheet for the Buckeyes, but the bench forward was averaging 8.1 points and 4.3 rebounds coming into Tuesday night's clash with the Illini. He was completely nullified in 21 minutes of action, notching a season-low two points and one rebound. He'll look to bounce back against West Virginia on Saturday.

Devin Royal - 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.

Brandon Noel - Comes back down to earth Noel ended with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 88-80 loss to Illinois.
Impact After a 29-point explosion in the Buckeyes' last game against Northwestern, Noel predictably regressed to the mean and was limited to five points in the loss to Illinois. The senior forward, who averages 8.9 points and 5.1 rebounds thus far in 2025-26, looks extremely boom-or-bust on a nightly basis.

Bruce Thornton - Racks up 34 in defeat Thornton amassed 34 points (13-17 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Tuesday's 88-80 loss to Illinois.
Impact Thornton was on the court for all 40 minutes for the second time this season, but his second-best scoring total of the year was not enough to knock off Illinois and its much more balanced offensive attack. Nonetheless, Thornton's usage, shot volume and triple-double potential make him one of the top fantasy assets in the Big Ten, regardless of matchup.

John Mobley Jr. - Starting vs. Northwestern Mobley (ankle) is in Ohio State's starting lineup for Saturday's matchup versus Northwestern.
Impact Mobley is healthy again after suffering an ankle injury in the Nov. 28 loss to Pittsburgh. The 6-foot-2 guard is currently averaging 14.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists across seven games played.

Christoph Tilly - Starting Saturday Tilly (lower leg) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus Northwestern.
Impact Tilly was deemed questionable on the official availability report prior to the contest, but it appears the senior will avoid missing any action. He's tallied double-digits in all but one game so far this season and will aim to continue that stretch Saturday.
