Ohio defeat of WMU likely has high personnel cost

James Gollon, center, returned to the bench on crutches and wearing a boot on his lower left leg in the second half of the Ohio men’s team’s victory over WMU Tuesday night at the Convocation Center. Coach Phillips said the apparent Achilles heel injury is likely season ending.

In the midst of a slump, with the worst team in the Mid-American Conference coming to the Convocation Center, the Ohio Bobcat men’s team just needed to get a win on Tuesday. Despite a big early lead for Western Michigan, Ohio closed out the night with an 81-76 victory.
