Thanks to a hot shooting day from Athens' darling Jaaron Simmons and his supporting cast, the Ohio Bobcats avoided a 1-4 MAC start and collected an 82-64 win over the Western Michigan Broncos.
Remember Simmons, the lethal 3-point shooter who is feared across arenas, sports, and even galaxies? Okay, maybe that's not exactly accurate, but you wouldn't have known that watching tonight. A handful of 3-pointers with both coming in short bursts of productivity helped Ohio to take the lead late in the first half and extend its lead in the second. The latter scenario came with Ohio up one, 49-48.
