Ohio State

Watched their most recent games against UCLA and Purdue. EJ Liddell is their best player and returned from injury to play against UCLA. His game is much improved from last year and he's dangerous. He'll play near the rim, as well as, step back and shoot a 3. Also, Zed Key, a freshman is another player to watch. He's a wide body and has some good moves near the rim.
Justice Sueing transferred in from Cal and is solid. He'll get them 14+ points a game. CJ Walker is their version of a fast, small ball handler. I recall his game against us in the ACC Challenge when we faced Florida State. He's fast and gets to the rim.
They also have two 3 point guys in Justin Ahrens and Eugene Brown. Brown hit some clutch 3 pointers coming down the stretch against UCLA and Ahrens can flat out shoot.
Duane Washington is also back. I thought they would really miss Caleb Wesson, however, after watching them, I believe Liddell took a big enough jump in his game, that they're not going to miss a beat.

If Cliff can't play, then Duke will need to get some minutes. Also, Coach needs to start giving the freshmen some PT, in case of injuries to the regulars or just to build a little depth. I think we see Oscar and Mag (if he's able) and maybe Reiber against Ohio State.
Agree as clearly Myles can't go for all 40 minutes and will need some downtime . Although he's shown no indication of foul trouble this season, let's hope he's able to avoid foul issues against Ohio State's smaller post players. Of course, all contingent if Cliff can't go. The good news is Ohio State doesn't have an imposing 7' dude that's banging against Myles for the entirety of the game.
