Buckeyes' E.J. Liddell Receives Threats After Loss to Oral Roberts

Ohio State forward EJ Liddell shared a series of tweets that include threats and insults of his character following the Buckeyes' 75–72 overtime loss to Oral Roberts in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Friday

Liddell, who scored a team-high 23 points and grabbed a game-high 14 rebounds, said he does not typically allow abusive or vulgar "comments" to get to him and credited the university for always being there to support him.

"Honestly, what did I do to deserve this? I am human," Liddell said.

"I’ve never done anything to anyone in my life to be approached like this," Liddell said.
