Ohio traveled to the E.A. Diddle Arena in Western Kentucky to take on the Hilltoppers on Wednesday night. Going into tonight’s play, Western Kentucky had not lost a home game to a non-conference school in their last 12 games.
The Bobcats came out firing on all cylinders, running out to a 14-0 lead and then again to 21-4, on a Kenny Kaminsky three pointer. Just as fast as they gained the lead, they lost it though, going on a three minute field goal drought, which was finally ended when Jaaron Simmons made it 23-18. The Hilltoppers mounted a 19-4 run, cutting what was once a 17 point lead to just a 2 at the half, 35-33.
