Bad news came today as Ohio State basketball lost starting center Dallas Lauderdale for 4-6 weeks with a broken hand. Lauderdale will get surgery Wednesday and it is unknown if he will be able to return for the team's opening game against Alcorn State on November 9.
Chances are Kyle Madsen, Zisis Sarikopoulos, and Nikola Kecman will get to see some valuable minutes in the first two weeks of the season which could be a blessing in disguise as the Bucks could need those players to give them valuable minutes off the bench, but the Bucks will certainly need Dallas back in the lineup when they take on UNC in The Garden on November 19.
