Bobcats seek rebound against WMU
Back at homeFollowing Ohio’s loss on Saturday night, head coach Saul Phillips joked about finding more defense for the Bobcats.
“Who is my lock-down defender? I don’t have one yet and I have to get one,” Phillips said. “So if any young defensive stoppers are out there listening right now, there’s a ‘Help Wanted’ sign at Ohio University.”
The quip underscored the Bobcats’ current predicament. Ohio (10-6, 1-3 Mid-American Conference) is among the best teams in the conference offensively, but simply isn’t getting enough stops to win games.
