COLUMBUS, Ohio - Dec. 17, 2008 David Lighty scored a game-high 21 points to lead a hot-shooting Ohio State team to an 81-68 win over JU on Wednesday night at the Value City Arena.

The Buckeyes (7-0) hit more than 64 percent of their shots from the floor, including 10-of-17 from behind the arc. Lighty's effort led four Buckeyes scored in double figures, with Evan Turner adding 17.
