Behind E.J. Liddell's early eruption, Ohio State rebounds with Northwestern win

E.J. Liddell shook off a pair of tough performances with a career night as No. 13 Ohio State beat Northwestern.

Running back down the court, E.J. Liddell stared at his right hand in mock disbelief.

. If he’d tried to put ice on that right hand at the five-minute mark of Sunday’s Northwestern game, it’d have melted before even getting within a socially distanced radius of the forward. Liddell made sure of that early.
