Mike Woodson is expected to be back for Indiana’s home game against Ohio State. The Hoosiers head coach missed IU’s Wednesday game at Minnesota.

Indiana shared a statement on Twitter Friday:

“Coach Woodson is doing great. We are following CDC COVID guidelines, and our medical team expects him to be on the bench for tomorrow night’s game.”

In Woodson’s absence, Indiana defeated Minnesota 61-57. Associate head coach Yasir Rosemond filled in for Woodson.

The Hoosiers are on a 4-game winning streak, up to 14-6 overall on the year. Woodson’s squad is 10-1 at home this season.

Saturday’s Indiana-Ohio State game is set for an 8 p.m. ET tip at Assembly Hall and will air on FOX. OSU is 11-9 on the year, having dropped 5 of its last 6 games. The Buckeyes fell to Illinois 69-60 on Tuesday.
