The Bobcats have victories over every team in the Mid-American Conference's East Division and the top three teams in the West Division.
With the conference tournament approaching, the mind-set that the top teams are beatable is crucial for Ohio's success.
We have enough talent to play with anybody. I really do believe that
guard Jennifer Bushby said. (Coach Sylvia Crawley) tells us every game that we can win and it's just us being able to play every night.
While her players praise Crawley's ability to motivate them, Crawley insists that the big games ' such as Saturday's 70-63 win over then-No. 16 Bowling Green ' require few motivational tactics from her.
Two or three days before the Bowling Green game (the players) are dreaming about Bowling Green
and it was the same for Ball State and Northern Illinois
Crawley said. They get up for the game because they're the underdogs and there's no pressure
so actually
those are the games where I don't have to do as much motivating.
As Wednesday's loss to Buffalo proved, it's the games of lesser importance that provide the biggest challenge.
Not to disrespect those teams
but our team looks at their records
and most of the time
the bottom teams are better than what their record indicates
and that's where we tend to mess up
