Treg Setty dribbles the ball during Ohio's game against Northern Illinois on February 6. The Bobcats won 80-69.
When Ohio defeated Buffalo on the road two weeks ago, it was in a contest that the Bobcats put away early, the end result looking like a neatly wrapped package.
For the Bobcats to take down the Bulls in the Convo Saturday, coach Saul Phillips said it had to be held together with duct tape and string.
In overtime, Ohio won a physical, close contest against Buffalo 103-96 in front of the senior day crowd. The Bobcats improved to 19-9 overall, with a 10-6 Mid-American Conference record that puts them in sole possession of second in the MAC East division.
