MUNCIE, Ind. — Saul Phillips heard the final horn sound, pumped his fist and stomped toward mid-court.
When he met Treg Setty, Ohio’s head coach jumped to give the 6-foot–9-inch senior a chest bump.
Yes, the Bobcats are growing up and having fun while they’re at it.
Kenny Kaminski broke a 67-all tie with a clutch 3-pointer with 1:02 remaining, and Setty added a crucial late bucket and defensive play, as the Bobcats staved off Ball State, 72-69, inside Worthern Arena on Tuesday night.
It was the fourth win in five games for the Bobcats (15-8, 6-5 Mid-American Conference), and second straight road victory.
