E.J. Liddell and company return to the court in a little over a month to take on Indianapolis in an exhibition game at the Schottenstein Center, but as the team begins its official preseason practice schedule this week, all 15 players were available for interview Tuesday at the practice gym.
For Liddell in particular, 2021-22 presents a chance not only to right the wrong of last season's early NCAA Tournament exit, but also to leave a lasting mark on the Ohio State program.
"I came back looking forward to being one of the Buckeye greats, really. I want to be talked about like Aaron Craft," Liddell said Tuesday.
