COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State freshman center Daniel Giddens missed his second straight game on Tuesday night, this time for a hamstring issue that's been bothering him since the Buckeyes loss to Virginia last week.
Giddens also missed last Saturday's game against VMI, but that was because he was dealing with flu-like symptoms the week leading up to it. He wasn't even on the Buckeyes bench for that game.
On Tuesday he spent the entirety of Ohio State's 74-50 win over Air Force on the bench in a warmup suit. The Buckeyes didn't need him, and after the game Thad Matta made it sound like it was more precautionary than anything.
