Ohio falls, 80-69, in MAC opener at NIU

DEKALB, Ill. — The Bobcats missed a couple items when they packed for their first road trip of the Mid-American Conference season.

Ohio couldn't find many defensive stops in the second half, and junior center Antonio Campbell was missing most of the night as Northern Illinois posted an 80-69 victory in the Convocation Center on Wednesday.

The Huskies (12-2, 1-0 MAC) improved to a perfect 10-0 at home this season and won their fifth straight as point guard Travon Baker scored a game-high 25 points and center Marin Maric dominated inside with 22 points and 14 rebounds.
