First we must shave the patient...

OSU backup center Matt Terwilliger underwent a "non-emergency appendectomy" (was it a cosmetic procedure then?) and will be out for an indetermined amount of time.

My guess is that he won't play for a minimum of a couple of weeks... maybe longer. That would bring him back either Sweet 16 weekend or Final Four weekend, even under the best-case scenario.

The Buckeyes have not exactly played a deep big-man rotation this year, now this leaves OSU even thinner in the paint. It's like going from Ashley to Mary-Kate.

It's Terence Dials and... umm... Brayden Bell.

Brayden has a solid 33 minutes of action under his belt. Not in one game, in the season.

Something tells me a coach or two is going to figure out that if you go inside, you can get OSU in trouble.

If Dials turns his ankle or something, this team is probably done.
