Ohio State learned two days ago that it'll have to move on, at least for now, without DJ Carton.
The freshman guard announced on Thursday night that he's taking a temporary leave of absence to work on "mental health issues" that left him feeling less than 100 percent healthy.
Two days later, the Buckeyes will be back in action without Carton, who was back in Iowa on Friday watching his high school basketball team play. On Saturday, they'll get a chance to avenge their 66-54 road loss a few weeks ago at Indiana when they play host to the Hoosiers at the Schottenstein Center.
