Lighty shows what Illini are missing

After Tuesday's 89-70 blowout loss to No. 2 Ohio State at Value City Arena, coach Bruce Weber summed up the biggest issue - and he needed only one word.

"Lighty."

Ohio State has a David Lighty, a rock-solid leader who one day might run an NBA offense or run for office. Illinois hasn't featured that type of leader - there's that word again - since, well, the last time it won an NCAA tournament game, five years ago.
