Ohio State could be down two key guards on Thursday.
Buckeye head coach Chris Holtmann said Wednesday that both Jamari Wheeler and Meechie Johnson will be game-time decisions ahead of Thursday's 8 p.m. tip-off on the road against Minnesota.
Holtmann said Wheeler, who has started all 16 games at point guard in his first season with Ohio State after transferring in from Penn State, has been dealing with a foot injury that has made him unavailable in practice. Wheeler is averaging 7.1 points and averaging a team-high 3.8 assists in 29.8 minutes per night – second only to E.
