Gabe Cupps - Considered questionable Saturday Cupps (foot) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against Wisconsin, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Cupps missed Monday's game against Penn State due to a foot injury, and he's at risk of missing a second straight contest due to the issue. Specifics regarding the issue are unknown, but be on the lookout for an update closer to Saturday's 2:00pm ET tippoff.

Christoph Tilly - Questionable to face Badgers Tilly (lower body) is questionable for Ohio State's clash with Wisconsin on Saturday, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Tilly didn't play in the Buckeyes' win over Penn State on Monday, missing his first game of the 2025-26 campaign. The starting forward, who averages 12.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists, is a firm question mark for Ohio State's road trip to Madison on Saturday.

Taison Chatman - Sees most action yet Chatman chipped in 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 17 minutes during Monday's 84-78 win over Penn State.

Impact Chatman's 17 minutes were a career-high, and they were productive minutes at that. The sophomore guard notched 11 points on six shots, drilling a three in the process while contributing slightly on the glass and as a passer. It's been a long road to get back to action for the guard, who missed the entire 2024-25 campaign, but if he could develop into a reliable piece off the bench, that would be a significant development for the Buckeyes at this point in the season.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Devin Royal - 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.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Amare Bynum - Leading scorer in win Bynum totaled 15 points (7-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals in 30 minutes during Monday's 84-78 win over Penn State.

Impact Bynum's 15 led the way for the Buckeyes, and it was good to see the freshman forward get back in double figures after three straight quiet scoring games. He was also active on defense with a season-high three steals. Bynum remains cold from beyond the arc, hitting 22.9 percent of his shots from distance this season, but a performance like Monday night could be a big moment in his development.

Mathieu Grujicic - Out with hand injury Grujicic missed Monday's game against Penn State due to a hand injury, Connor Lemons of SB Nation reports.

Impact Grujicic has played in just six games this season and hasn't appeared in a game since late December, so his absence won't have a big impact on the rotation.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Gabe Cupps - Out with foot injury Cupps missed Monday's game against Penn State due to a foot injury, according to Connor Lemons of SB Nation.

Impact Cupps missed a game for the first time this season Monday, and he's dealing with a foot issue that appeared in practice in the last few days. Cupps doesn't have a consistent role on offense, however, so his absence won't affect the rotation considerably. It's unclear if he'll be able to recover in time to face the Badgers on Jan. 31.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Christoph Tilly - Dealing with lower-body injury Tilly missed Monday's game against Penn State due to a lower-body injury, according to Connor Lemons of SB Nation.

Impact Tilly went through warmups and shootaround, but in the end, he was ruled out with what the team described as a "lower-body injury." It's unclear whether he'll be able to recover in time to face Wisconsin on Saturday, but losing Tilly would be a big blow for the Buckeyes. He's averaging 12.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game this season.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Gabe Cupps - First absence coming Cupps (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Penn State.

Impact Cupps will miss his first game of the season, though the reason for his absence is unknown. The reserve guard has scored points in just two of his last nine games, however, he's averaging 12.7 minutes during that stretch. Cupps' absence could mean more minutes for Taison Chatman. Cupps' next chance to play will come Saturday at Wisconsin.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Mathieu Grujicic - Unavailable Monday night Grujicic (undisclosed) is out for Ohio State's tilt with Penn State on Monday.

Impact Grujicic has only played in six games this season, and hasn't taken the court since he played one minute in the Dec. 23 win over Grambling. Thus, the freshman guard's absence shouldn't impact the Buckeyes in the slightest.

Christoph Tilly - Out vs. Penn State Tilly (undisclosed) is out against Penn State on Monday.

Impact Tilly has started every game for the Buckeyes this season, but he'll miss his first contest of the 2025-26 campaign against Penn State, arguably the worst team in the Big Ten. Till, who averages 12.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists, will look to return on Jan. 31 at Wisconsin.
