Barring a post-season tournament invitation, the Ohio Bobcat men and women’s basketball teams are each finished with the 2016-17 season, after losing tournament games last Wednesday night for the women and Friday night for the men.
NCAA, NIT, College Invitational Tournament and other post-season tourny brackets were announced Sunday evening after The NEWS’ print deadline.
Bobcat men edged by eventual tourny winner Kent
Friday evening, the Ohio Bobcat men couldn’t repeat their magic from the previous night in Cleveland, losing a Mid-American Conference semifinal game to Kent State, 68-66.
This was the second consecutive night when the Bobcats (20-11, 11-7 MAC) played a nail-biter that came down to the final seconds, but the 2-seed Bobcats came up short against the 6-seed Golden Flashes (21-13, 10-8 MAC).
