OSU Buckeyes Shorthanded as Tilly and Cupps Sit Against Penn State
Ohio State will be severely short-handed for its Big Ten matchup with Penn State, with starting center Christoph Tilly and guard Gabe Cupps out, and reserve wing Mathieu Grujicic sidelined. Ivan Njegovan is expected to start at center in Tilly’s absence, while Colin White could move into the sixth-man role, with Devin Royal shifting positions as needed; Amare Bynum could see time at small-ball center. Penn State enters as a vulnerable opponent, sitting 0-8 in conference play, but the Buckeyes aren’t at full strength either. Tipoff is at 7 p.m. on FS1.
