It’s not for a championship, but the regular-season finale for the Ohio University Bobcats and the Miami University RedHawks will offer plenty of incentive for both sides.
And the second installment of this year’s “Battle of the Bricks” will certainly offer more juice than was anticipated just two weeks ago.
Ohio (19-10, 10-7 Mid-American Conference) is playing for a top four seed in the conference standings, and a direct, do-not-play-on-Monday route to Quicken Loans Arena for the 2016 MAC Tournament.
Miami (12-18, 6-11 MAC), meanwhile, is looking to extend its best winning streak of the season and is hoping to hit the tournament as the hottest team in the MAC.
