FEBRUARY 25 • FOX SPORTS

Available at OSU Gayle (illness) is available for Sunday's game at Ohio State.

Impact Gayle will face off against his former college one more time before calling it a career at the collegiate level. The last time the senior played OSU, he logged five points, four rebounds and one block off Michigan's bench. Though not all that impressive, Gayle recorded 22 minutes, a plentiful amount of playing time that the Wolverines have regularly given him this season.

DNP vs. PSU Gayle (illness) did not play during Thursday's 110-69 win against Penn State.

Impact According to James Hawkins of The Detroit News, Gayle battled illness, hence why he did not play during Michigan's relatively easy win. Though the Wolverines did not need their ill senior Thursday, that may not be the case for their next game, currently scheduled for Sunday at Ohio State, which looks to be a more difficult endeavor.

Struggles from the field in win Gayle contributed seven points (2-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 74-72 win over Penn State.

Impact Gayle is shooting the ball at a career-best clip this season, hitting 51.0 percent of his shots from the field. Still, he struggled Tuesday night, unable to find his shooting stroke in Happy Valley. Michigan snuck past Penn State regardless, and doesn't typically rely on Gayle to be a big-time scorer. Still, he's carved out a key role off the bench this season, averaging 10.2 points and 3.7 rebounds.

No. 2 Michigan Snaps McNeese State's Win Streak in 40-Point Rout

Nine and seven off the bench Gayle closed Tuesday's 89-61 win over Villanova with nine points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes.

Impact Gayle had his most active day on the glass yet with seven boards, and continued to be efficient from the field if not from distance. Still, the guard is bringing 11.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists off the bench in Ann Arbor -- he's been extremely valuable for head coach Dusty May and company. Gayle is still liable to have a big night even when he doesn't start, especially considering how dominant Michigan has been.
