Ohio opens MAC play with a win

KALAMAZOO, Mich. — After a longer break than expected over the holidays, the Ohio men’s basketball team finally tipped off conference action.

Ohio rode its defense to a 59-47 win at Western Michigan’s Read Fieldhouse/University Arena on Saturday.

The Bobcats, who were playing their first game since Dec. 21 due to last week’s postponement against Eastern Michigan, have won five in a row.

Ohio improved to 10-2 overall and 1-0 in the Mid-American Conference.

Western Michigan fell to 4-9 overall and 0-2 in the MAC.

The Bobcats made life difficult for the Broncos’ offense.
