11.13.2011 - Bennet Cantu 90 vs Air Avellino 55 (Serie A - Round 6)- David Lighty: 15 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal in just 12 minutes!!
Cantu - As last year's runner up to the Italian League Championship, and current new participants in the 2011/2012 Turkish Airlines Euroleague, Bennet Cantu knew they would face some tough competition and adversity in. The Euroleague schedule usually ends up taking a toll on high level teams in Europe at some point in the season, and Cantu may be feeling the effects of having to play league games in Italy (where it seems they are getting opponents' best games) followed by a tough Euroleague game later in the week. Bennet Cantu opened the Italian League Regular Season with a 3-0 record, but they fell in rounds four & five to Pesaro (heartbreaker at home) and Treviso (17 point road loss - Lighty 7 points).
Lighty Explodes - Cantu responded from the worst defeat of the season at the hands Treviso by getting their biggest win after crushing Air Avellino by 35 points on November 13. Ohio State rookie David Lighty entered the contest and got hot in limited action. In just 12 minutes, Lighty (pictured left vs Avellino - 11.13.2011) made 5 of 6 field goal attempts (4/5 from 2, 1-1 from 3) and all 4 of free throw attempts (4-4) to total 15 points, 2 rebonds & an assist! (earning a team-high efficiency rating of 18)Cantu clips -Three David Lighty shots are included, starting at the 2:12 mark, a drive and bucket, three pointer and long two! Go Dave!
