Gabe Cupps - Offers nine off the bench Cupps closed with nine points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes during Thursday's 72-62 win over Oregon.
Impact Cupps' nine points were the biggest output of the season thus far. The sophomore guard has been largely quiet off the bench, but he managed to get involved as Ohio State bested Oregon. He'll look to build off this performance as Big Ten play continues.

Christoph Tilly - Drops 14 in win over Ducks Tilly posted 14 points (4-6 FG, 6-9 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 72-62 victory over Oregon.
Impact Tilly had scored in the single digits in two straight games, but he got back into double figures against Oregon and did it on just six shots. The senior forward has been quieter on the glass as of late, but it was still a good bounce-back outing for Tilly as the Buckeyes really enter the thick of conference play.
