DeKALB, Ill. — The key to completing a task is using the right tools.
You don’t use a screwdriver to hammer in a nail, and you don’t use a rake to sweep the kitchen floor.
And if you’re the Ohio Bobcats, you don’t travel to Northern Illinois and win a game in November by being cute or relying on finesse. Nope, if you beat the Huskies it’s going to come down to beating them in the trenches and being the smarter, more physical team for 60 minutes.
The Bobcats (8-4, 5-3 Mid-American Conference) played that style perfectly Tuesday night and flummoxed NIU (8-4, 6-2 MAC).
