MUNCIE, Ind. — As the final buzzer sounded inside Savage Arena on Feb. 13, Tod Kowalczyk strode toward the Ohio University bench to shake the hand of coach Saul Phillips.
The Rockets had just defeated the Bobcats by a 82-74 score with relative ease. Preparations for Saturday’s game at Ball State begin in earnest. After a postgame press conference and exchanging a few pleasantries with fans, Kowalczyk will rewatch the entire OU game before his head hits the pillow.
The big story on this night is a knee injury suffered by UT starting point guard Marreon Jackson.
