Zed Key's absence was glaring on Sunday as Maryland pulled down 14 offensive boards, outrebounded OSU 40-26, scored 34 points in the paint and shot 33 free throws.
When Zed Key walked straight off the court and into the locker room at the Schottenstein Center following a shoulder injury on Thursday, the Buckeyes were in trouble.
Holtmann had no update on Key’s status Monday, but said he’s making “regular progress” with his shoulder and should return “relatively soon.” But given the results of Sunday’s contest, relatively soon might not be soon enough. “Zed’s ability to get guys in foul trouble because of how physical he is in the low post . We don’t have another guy like that,” Holtmann said. “That’s not Felix’s game right now, he’s just a different post player. It’s a learning experience for Felix. His last two fouls of the first half I think were legitimate fouls. His first one I have some argument about. But he’s just gotta learn in this particular situation, the last foul he needed to let go because we needed him in the game.
