If the Buckeyes and Badgers needed another wrinkle thrown into the already heated rivalry they may just have found it. With a tweet on twitter involving spit and the hardwood.According the Ohio State big man Jared Sullinger's twitter account the freshman was supposedly spit on both before and after the big game on Saturday by Wisconsin fans. Just another wrinkle in the rivalry between the two schools which has picked up steam in the last year after two upsets by the Badgers over number one ranked Ohio State football and basketball teams.
Monday the new twist took another turn with the Big Ten teleconference when both coaches made their statements about the claim.
Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan, understandably, stood on the side that it didn't happen citing that their is no evidence of that happening with all the cameras that are present in the Kohl Center missing the luigi.
"Every area of our facility is all videotaped and there is absolutely nothing that has come to my attention," said Ryan on Monday. "All I know is we won the game. Deal with it."
Ohio State head ball coach Thad Matta on the other hand stood by his freshman phenom saying that he has to believe what his player said. While at the same time responding that these kind of things happen in that environment.
"A student ran by and spit on him," responded Matta in his teleconference. "Nothing too major. What are you going to do? Those things happen."
