With MAC b-ball schedule starting, we look at the Bobcats' prospects

Guard Dominique Doseck (#10) dribbles to the basket during the second half against Cleveland State on Saturday afternoon. Ohio topped Cleveland State 72-54.

With the beginning of the new year, as NCAA tradition dictates, the rest of the Ohio Bobcat men and women’s basketball schedules will consist of Mid-American Conference opponents. Both squads will begin conference play this Saturday when the men host Northern Illinois at the Convocation Center while the undefeated women travel to Buffalo.

The MAC on both sides already features tight races with some dominant teams riding the top and competitive, solid teams competing in the middle of the standings.
