Men's Basketball: Simmons dazzles late, leads the Bobcats over Northern Illinois

Ohio's Wadly Mompremier goes in for a layup during a game against Northern Illinois University on Feb. 6, 2016 at the Convocation Center. The Bobcats won the game 80-69.

Ohio’s offense was stagnant and the shots simply weren’t falling anymore.

The Bobcats were on their way to letting the Huskies sneak back into the game and make for another Mid-American Conference battle that would go down to the final ticks of the game clock.

Instead, Ohio guard Jaaron Simmons rattled off a run to remember.

After Ohio squandering a 16-point lead to start the second half, Simmons contributed on every point but one in Ohio’s final 16-4 run and finished with a double-double in a 80-69 victory over Northern Illinois.
