Ohio State won't have a pair of forwards on Thursday evening.
Kyle Young (ankle) and Alonzo Gaffney (illness) will miss the Buckeyes' game against Nebraska, a source confirmed to Eleven Warriors. The news was first reported by Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
In their absence, Ohio State will have only eight healthy, eligible players in its lineup.
- Guards: CJ Walker, Luther Muhammad, Duane Washington Jr.
- Forwards: Justin Ahrens, Kaleb Wesson, Andre Wesson, E.J. Liddell, Ibrahima Diallo.
Though Chris Holtmann will likely ride a three-guard lineup featuring Walker, Muhammad and Washington for extended minutes, it'll be incumbent upon Liddell to effectively fill in in the frontcourt.
