The Ohio’s men’s basketball team held on despite a late comeback attempt from Eastern Michigan to secure a 79-71 Bobcat victory Tuesday night in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Ohio has now won consecutive games for the first time since Jan 10.

Sharp shooting led the Bobcats to a 10-3 lead to start the game but both teams went cold midway through the first half to enter halftime tied at 26-26. Ohio and EMU continued to trade baskets in the second half. Neither team gained much of separation until Mike Laster hit a corner three to put the Bobcats up 59-53 with five minutes remaining.
