CLEVELAND (AP) — Last March, the Ohio Bobcats were on the floor warming up for their quarterfinal opener when they were told the tournament was cancelled.

Nothing stopped them this year.

Jason Preston scored 22 points and Ohio dominated from the start to win its first Mid-American Conference Tournament championship since 2012, an 84-69 victory on Saturday night over Buffalo, which was trying for a record third straight title.

The Bobcats (16-7), whose season was temporarily put on hold by COVID-19, are in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2012, when they shocked Michigan on their way to the Sweet 16.
