Nearly a full year since his last game in a Buckeye uniform, Justice Sueing looked better than ever during a 20-point performance in his return to action against Robert Morris.
Asked if fans can finally put injury concerns to bed following his long-awaited return to action on Monday, the veteran forward answered with a question of his own – and the tone on his tongue had a touch of glib to it.Given his performance against Robert Morris, the question was rhetorical.Had Monday’s season opener been played five days later, it would’ve been a full calendar year since Sueing’s last official appearance in scarlet and gray.
It wasn’t a perfect start for Sueing, who missed back-to-back free-throw attempts at the 18:06 mark, but he got cooking quickly thereafter. Sueing went right back to the rack on the very next possession, drew another foul and this time knocked down both shots from the foul line. The second three saw Sueing get particularly fired up, as it gave him 12 points in the first half alone, and his next assist opened up a 10-point lead for Ohio State with 5:58 to play before intermission.
That sequence put the Buckeyes up 27, and Chris Holtmann didn’t leave Sueing on the floor much longer. In fact, the Ohio State head coach said he took a second to reflect on the moment with Sueing once the game began winding down. Holtmann called Sueing “one of the better rebounding wings in college basketball,” and even though he only finished with two boards against the Colonials, Ohio State had an improved performance on the glass compared to last week’s exhibition against Chaminade.
