The Ohio University women’s basketball team was dealt a cruel twist of fate on Monday.
Now it’s up to the Bobcats to make the most of the opportunity they still have ahead of them.
Ohio (24-6) knew it was a long-shot to make the 2016 NCAA Tournament following a loss to eventual Mid-American Conference Tournament champion Buffalo in the quarterfinals of the MAC Tournament on Wednesday.
The Bobcats had a good at-large profile that was marred by three losses this season to the Bulls. When the Bulls won the MAC Tournament, Buffalo was guaranteed a slot in the NCAA Tournament.
