Friday afternoon, Big Ten released the injury report for Friday night’s matchup between Indiana basketball and Ohio State.

The injury report featured Bryson Tucker being ruled out, alongside Jackson Creel, Gabe Cupps and Malik Reneau.

Tucker played 17 minutes off the bench in Tuesday night’s 94-69 loss to Illinois, scoring four points on two-of-four shooting from the field, while grabbing one rebound and turning the ball over once.

Tucker, a freshman, has appeared in 18 games this season for Indiana, all off the bench, averaging 6.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists.

The 6-foot-7 wing averages 18.7 minutes per game.

A tough blow for Indiana, as the program will now be held without three rotation players tonight.

The injury report also featured guard Jakai Newton being listed as questionable.

Indiana will be forced to rely on regular rotation players to pickup extra minutes.

Tipoff is set for 8:00 PM EST tonight from the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio. The game will be aired on FOX.
