It’s only been two weeks since the Ohio Bobcats last won a basketball game, but a losing streak in the middle of Mid-American Conference play felt like a season-long affair. It ended today (Saturday).
Ohio (9-9, 2-4 MAC) ended a three-game skid with a 72-66 win at Eastern Michigan University (11-8, 2-4) in Ypsilanti, MI. The victory was Ohio’s first true road victory of the season.
The Bobcats needed a win, but some Ohio players needed some wins of their own, especially Preseason All-MAC selection Jordan Dartis. The junior guard had struggled recently. Dartis had just six points in a loss against Toledo on Tuesday this week, eight points against Northern Illinois on Jan.
