Starts season with double-double Key closed Monday's 91-53 win over Robert Morris with 13 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT) and 10 rebounds over 21 minutes.

Impact Key was productive in the paint and from distance, especially making a difference with four of his 10 rebounds coming in the offense. To keep fellow big-man Justice Sueing consistently scoring, Key's efforts with Isaac Likekele on the boards will be a major asset for the Buckeyes.

One of Buckeyes top performers Key and Brice Sensabaugh were the two best players for Ohio State in their scrimmage against Wake Forest, Jeff Goodman of Stadium reports.

Impact Key has lost some weight coming into this season and should take over as the starting center out of the gate. Key played behind Joey Brunk for much of last season, but still was able to average 7.8 points and 5.6 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per contest. All of those numbers should be going up this season as Ohio State looks to try to replace their entire starting five.

Remains out Thursday Key (ankle) went through pregame warmups but didn't play in Thursday's 71-68 loss to Penn State.

Impact Based on his participation in warmups, it looked like Key had a realistic shot of returning to the court for Thursday's second-round matchup with Penn State, but that wasn't the case. With the Buckeyes now eliminated from the Big Ten Tournament, he'll have a full week to get healthy before the NCAA Tournament kicks off next week.

Warming up, not starting Thursday Key (ankle) is warming up ahead of Thursday's game against Penn State but is not in the starting lineup, Bill Landis of The Athletic reports.

Impact Key was moving around well during pregame warmups Thursday, but it appears Joey Brunk will pick up another start in the Buckeyes' frontcourt. It's still unclear if he'll be available, but he probably won't see a full workload if he's able to go.

Set to be a GTD Key (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's Big Ten Tournament game, Colin Gay of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Key has been dealing with an ankle injury for the last couple weeks. He tried to give it a go in the regular season finale against Michigan on Sunday, but was forced to go to the locker room. Kyle Young has already been ruled out for the opener of the Big Ten Tournament for the Buckeyes, so getting Key to be able to contribute 20+ minutes would be huge.

Status unclear for tournament play Key's (ankle) status is uncertain for the upcoming Big Ten Tournament, Adam Jardy of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Impact Key was able to return to Sunday's game against Michigan in the second half after tweaking his ankle prior to halftime. He finished the game with four points (2-2 FG), four rebounds, an assist and a steal in seven minutes but looked hobbled during the second half. He'll have a few days to recover before the Buckeyes begin tournament play Thursday, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be available early in the Big Ten Tournament. If he's held out, Kyle Young (illness) and Joey Brunk could see additional run.

Appears good to go for second half Key (ankle) is going through warm ups without a limp and should be good to go for the second half of Sunday's tilt with Michigan, Adam Jardy of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Impact In the first half, Key appeared to aggravate his ankle injury that cost him four straight games heading into Sunday. However, he appears to have avoided a significant setback and should return to his reserve role in the second half.

Limps to locker room Sunday Key (ankle) limped to the locker room after an awkward fall during Sunday's showdown with Michigan, Adam Jardy of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Impact Key missed four straight games heading into Sunday with an ankle injury, but he tried to tough it out in a reserve role. It's unclear if the two injuries are related, but either way, it isn't a good sign for Ohio State. Joey Brunk figures to have a bigger workload if Key is unable to return.

Not in starting lineup Sunday Key (ankle) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against Michigan.

Impact Key has missed four straight games due to an ankle injury and was considered a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's tilt with Michigan. While the standout sophomore isn't starting, it remains unclear if he'll be available off the bench. Either way, Joey Brunk, who will draw his second straight start, figures to see an increased workload once again.
