He becomes the 60th Buckeye to reach the career mark and the first since Duane Washington Jr. last season.
Liddell has scored in double figures in all 17 games this season and now has a streak of 28 consecutive games of 10 or more points dating back to last season.
Liddell is fourth in the Big Ten averaging 19.4 points per game. The last Buckeye to average 20 points per game was Evan Turner during his national player of the year season in 2009-10.
