Chris Holtmann gets emotional talking about the comeback of small forward Justice Sueing this season.
Sueing missed all but 2 games last season due to an abdominal injury, and 2 ankle sprains during this year’s preseason further kept him from play. In his 2020 season with the Buckeyes, the forward was third on Ohio State in scoring with 10.7 points per game.
“Players win games and it was great to see Justice,” said Holtmann. “I told him I got emotional talking about him on the radio because he’s been through a lot.”
