Non-DI games a fact of life for Bobcats

This will be one of those rare times when the ‘why of a game being played could be more important or interesting that the ‘how.’

The Ohio University men’s basketball team concludes the non-conference portion of its 2016-17 schedule on Friday night with a 7 p.m. start in the Convo against Urbana University.

Yes, NCAA Division II Urbana — a small, liberal arts school located about an hour west of Columbus.

The Bobcats (7-3) are one of the favorites in the Mid-American Conference this season. The Blue Knights (5-5) were picked to finish 11th out of 12 teams in the Mountain East Conference.
