Northwestern freshman Aaron Liberman received his first action in a Big Ten game in Sunday's 74-51 defeat at Michigan. By getting on the court, Liberman became the first player to wear a yarmulke in a Big Ten basketball game. In fact, according to this story, he's only the second Division I player ever to do so.
