Puff Johnson - Out vs. UCLA Johnson (not injury related) is out for Saturday's game against UCLA, according to Adam Jardy of Dispatch.com.
Impact Johnson will be with Ohio State's team either Sunday or Monday, but not quickly enough to join the Buckeyes for their upcoming game against UCLA. After they host UCLA, the Buckeyes are scheduled to play their next game Tuesday against Minnesota.

Christoph Tilly - Available vs. UCLA Tilly (head) is available for Saturday's game against UCLA.
Impact Fortunately for Tilly and Ohio State, it looks like no absence is needed from the reliable senior who has helped OSU become a potential threat in the Big Ten Conference. He has been providing solid scoring and rebounding from Ohio State's frontcourt, with 12.4 points and 5.4 boards per game to back him up. With the Bruins lacking someone as big as Tilly down low, and without Skyy Clark (hamstring) available, both the big man and Ohio State have a much more improved chance to excel against UCLA on Saturday.

Skyy Clark - Out at Ohio State Clark (hamstring) is out for Saturday's game at Ohio State.
Impact Clark was doubtful heading into UCLA's upcoming game, so it should come as no surprise that the Bruins' updated availability report lists him as out before their matchup. Even with the expectation that Clark would be unavailable, his impending absence is a big blow, considering he has consistently brought them excellent scoring with 13.5 points and 2.4 three-pointers made on 47.4/48.6/89.3 shooting splits this season. Starting in Clark's place has been Trent Perry, and that is expected to continue after the latter scored 30 points Wednesday at Penn State.
