Ohio State and Michigan are about to renew another contest between all things scarlet and gray and maize and blue, and it looks like it’ll happen without a key starter from both sides.
For the Buckeyes, Kyle Young is still out as he tries to progress through concussion protocols. Zed Key is a game-time decision but went through pregame warmups and looked pretty good. For Michigan, big man Hunter Dickinson is out due to a “stomach-ailment” according to several reports.
Both are huge losses, but the Wolverines are a much, much different and more dangerous team with Dickinson in the game. He was our key player for TTUN coming into this one. This one should allow for a lot of work down on the blocks to get done without a rim protector. Look for OSU to also own the boards and for Michigan to be a much more perimeter-oriented team in the Schott on Sunday.

One thing Ohio State has to guard against is coming into the game with more confidence and with a little less emotion because Dickinson is out of the game. The Buckeyes have to step on the gas and take advantage of the crowd, the stakes, and the personnel available.
