This was referred to during the post game interview last night. I was aware of it, but not in this much detail. Sorry if it's already been posted and discussed, but I found his condition interesting, and the way he's handling it inspiring.
"It is what it is. It's the hand I've been dealt," Matta said. "It's definitely affected my mobility, but I can't let it completely change my life. I've never really asked, 'Why me?' "
Ohio State senior guard William Buford and the rest of his teammates rarely, if ever, hear Matta talk about his foot.
"I've never heard him mention it," Buford said. "He has never complained about it. Not once. Not to have any feeling in your foot, it sucks."
"You can tell it bothers him sometimes, but he never brings it up," sophomore Aaron Craft added. "The only time he does is when we talk about being sore, he says how we have no idea. But he doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for him."
