There’s no such thing as a "quick" 12-hour bus ride.
Ohio drove back to Athens from Ames, Iowa, through Sunday night into Monday morning after playing in the final of the Central States Collegiate Hockey League tournament.
The bus ride probably felt even longer than usual because of the result of the game.
No. 7 Ohio fell short in the league Championship to No. 12 Robert Morris (Illinois), falling 3-2 in overtime at the Ames Ice Arena.
