This sucks. The Buckeyes keep getting killed with injuries (Lighty last year). Hopefully he heals up soon.

11W made a great point...

"Turner was leading the team in points, rebounds, and assists and his production will have to be made up through a contribution of his teammates..."

Talk about losing your key player. Wow.

hard to see much hope with this happening. turner is the team. the buckeyes aren't deep and they have not spread the production around. gotta feel for matta...he has had a rough few years with injuries.
