Ohio's preseason schedule? Defense

Antonio Campbell said Ohio’s ‘To Do’ list in the preseason was short, sweet and simple.

“Defense, um, defense, and…defense. Pretty much it,” said Campbell, the 2015 MAC Men’s Basketball Player of the Year.

It’s been pretty much the ONLY thing on the list since Ohio wrapped up the 2015-16 season. The Bobcats piled up 23 wins a year ago — 13 more than in head coach Saul Phillips’ first season — and officially began practice for this season on Saturday. Getting better on the defensive end of the court has been a focus for the Bobcats since April, and it’s a notion that will only gain intensity with the opener now just over a month away.
