Ohio men pick up key road win against Ball State
saul callFor the first time all year, the Ohio Bobcats men’s basketball team is above .500 in conference play. And it’s mainly because they won a road game.
In beating the Ball State Cardinals 72-69 Tuesday evening in Muncie, Indiana, the Bobcats (15-8, 6-5 Mid-American Conference) picked up their second road win of the year, doubling their total from all of last year. The win also was Ohio’s fourth in five games and bucked a trend of Ohio struggling to put together complete performances on the road.
“The growth had been incremental and seen by me, and now I think the world is seeing it,” said head coach Saul Phillips after Tuesday’s win.
