William Buford went unconscious for a career-high 29 points. Sullinger was in foul trouble early. In the second half, he came off the court on two separate occasions for two distinct injuries.
Excellent, albeit not always dominant, play. Foul trouble. Injuries. All were issues for Sullinger Tuesday. All have been recurring themes for Sullinger this season.
That’s especially true when Sully’s year is compared to his freshman campaign. Last year, everything was fresh.

OSU trying to make a run without threes
By Ari Wasserman
BuckeyeSports.com

Of course, there was the obvious clue for Matta since the Buckeyes said goodbye after last season to Jon Diebler, the most prolific...
