Ohio State forward E.J. Liddell is a native of Illinois. In fact, he’s a two-time Mr. Basketball in the state. So, you can’t necessarily blame the Illini fans for being upset about one of their own getting away to the Buckeye state.
According to Liddell, however, those fans crossed the line during the game with Ohio State on Thursday. He took to his Twitter account the day after OSU’s 86-83 win in Champaign and admonished the fans wearing orange inside the State Farm Center.
It started with some remarks about it being nice to be back in the state and loving the environment after Liddell scored 21 points, grabbed six rebounds, and blocked four shots to help lead Ohio State to a huge victory, one that kept the Buckeyes in the conference title race.
