COLUMBUS ? Jamar Butler has become Ohio State's lead dog for defending opponents' scoring guards.
That's quite a change from high school, when he just dogged it.
"I played no defense," Butler said Tuesday at the Schottenstein Center. "I just shot the ball. That's all I did."

COLUMBUS ? Ohio State was minutes from getting on the bus to head for the airport on Tuesday for its trip to San Antonio to play Tennessee in the Sweet 16 of the men?s NCAA basketball tournament tonight when a journey of another kind brought a smile to Jamar Butler?s face.

This young man comes up with a big shot when needed in crunch time. His overall game will only get better. He's my daughter's favorite tOSU player.
