UConn men's basketball vs Ohio State | Live updates

UConn will face another challenge from a power conference when they host Ohio State at PeoplesBank Arena on Friday night. The Huskies are currently undefeated with a 3-0 record. However, starting small forward Nik Khamenia will miss the game due to a foot injury that he suffered in their recent win against Wagner. Khamenia is expected to undergo surgery and is projected to be out for six to eight weeks.

Freshman Colben Landrew is likely to start in Khamenia's absence, while fellow first-year forward Egor Amosov will see increased time on the bench. Ohio State (2-1) enters the game following consecutive victories over Youngstown State and Marshall, with their only loss coming against No. 25 BYU.
