Ohio season saw its end on this day. The Bobcats fell just short of a CBI title appearance.
Ohio fans probably didn't think the excitement in the Convocation Center could be topped after Monday night's 15-point comeback that saw Ohio pull out a miraculous win over UNC Greensboro. Wednesday was even more exciting. The two teams exchanged the lead 19 times but the Bobcats didn't pull out this barnburner. This time around the Bobcats fell 77-72.
Coach Saul Phillips was content with the experience for his team and talked candidly about the positives associated with younger guys getting to play in postseason tournaments.
