A troubling recent trend continued for UB on Friday night against Ohio University, as end of game execution again was the difference in a 76-75 loss at home to the Bobcats.
Both teams came in with middling conference records looking to improve their place in the standings and to distance themselves from their opponent as teams jockey for MAC Tournament seeding. The Bulls may now need to put those concerns out of their mind and focus on simply qualifying for the eight-team event as they look to get back on the winning track. Ohio climbed within a half game of preseason favorite Bowling Green for third place at 6-4 and the Bulls dropped into a three-way tie for sixth, at 4-4, with Kent St and Ball St.
