Ohio forward Ivo Baltic played only four minutes during Saturday's loss at Eastern Michigan because of a knee injury sustained during practice on Friday.

But Ohio coach John Groce said he does not expect Baltic to miss anymore games.

"He got x-rays and hopefully he'll be cleared, which is what we anticipate, tomorrow," Groce said. "I don't know if we'll practice him today."

Groce said Baltic's lack of production was a big loss for the Bobcats against Eastern Michigan because of his ability to disrupt the zone defense. 

Similar to a wrist injury sustained by point guard D.J. Cooper two weeks ago, Groce said the team is taking all precautionary measures while remaining optimistic about the injury. 

"It takes us 24 hours to get MRI results back so we'll get them back (Tuesday)," Groce said. "We just want to make sure."
