The Buckeyes' star forward, who helped lead Ohio State to two wins in the past five days, was one of two players to earn the conference honor on Monday, along with Purdue forward Trevion Williams.

Liddell, who is averaging 20.6 points and 7.2 rebounds per game this season, scored 14 points in a Wednesday win over Towson before putting up 28 in a blowout win over Wisconsin on Saturday. Liddell added nine boards and four assists during the 18-point victory, in which he shot 11-for-16 from the field.
The Buckeye junior ranks fourth in the conference in points per game, third in blocked shots and 12th in rebounds per game.
Ohio State's two wins last week, part of a season-high four-game win streak dating back to Nov. 30, helped the Buckeyes improve from No. 21 to No. 15 in the country in Monday's updated AP poll.
