In the wake of reigning MAC Player of the Year Antonio Campbell’s season-ending foot injury, the Ohio men went into Dekalb, Illinois, knowing they would need not just one guy – but multiple players – to step up to fill the void left by the absence of their best player.
The Bobcats did just that in Saturday’s 78-69 win over Northern Illinois to halt its two-game losing skid. This was perhaps Ohio’s most complete game from start to finish this season. For such a performance to come just days after Head Coach Saul Phillips announced that his senior leader would be lost for the year speaks volumes about the fight in this team.
