THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

The few seconds it took David Lighty to bounce into an interview yesterday were all that was necessary to show that the shooting percentages behind his name don't seem to be bothering him like they are assorted fans, bloggers and e-mailers.

"I have a short-term memory," he said with a smile.

And an apparent long-term appointment on the floor for the Ohio State men's basketball team, which is undefeated and ranked for the first time in two years in part because of all Lighty does when he isn't missing shots the way he has this season.

The No. 17 Buckeyes play host to Jacksonville tonight in Value City Arena.

"You see David doing things that probably most people don't see, (but) we see them," coach Thad Matta said. "I have great trust in David knowing not only what he's supposed to do but what everybody else is supposed to do.

Default David Lighty out 6-12 weeks!
Apparently he broke his foot last night and had surgery today. I guess we'll get a good look at Bufford now...

I guess that forces Matta to put Buford on the court finally.

We're going to miss Lighty though, the dude was starting to get very hot.

Good news is he will be back later in the season, and it probably means another year for him with us(kinda figured that before, but still)

Buford will need to step up and help this team out. Hopefully he can rise to the challenge.

Buford is very good, I still wonder why he hasn't had much PT, but the guy IMO may be better than Butler offensively.
