It is not easy being new to anything, let alone coaching.
From the opening tip to the final horn, there wasn’t a doubt of the end result of Monday’s first-round Mid-American Conference Tournament game.
Running the table in the Mid-American Conference Tournament will not be an easy task for Ohio, but the Bobcats have shown the ability to come from behind with their backs to the wall all season.
Not only can one game change a season, but it can also end it.
Heading into this weekend’s Mid-American Conference Championships, Ohio coach Joel Greenlee said that he wanted six national qualifiers.
If it wasn’t obvious already, Ohio coach Bob Boldon originally made it clear he wanted the Bobcats to open the Mid-American Conference Tournament at home on Monday.
Spring break was no vacation for Ohio, as it took on its first set of ranked competitors and encountered adversity for the first times this season.
OXFORD — With four-and-a-half minutes to play, the scoreboard powered down in Miami’s Millet Hall and it never really recovered, similar to the Bobcats’ play.
It's national tournament time for the Bobcat hockey team.
Some came with mullets. Some came with a typical male groom. Some even came with a shoulder-length “hockey flow.”
With junior forward Maurice Ndour out because of a lingering back injury, freshman Antonio Campbell was thrust into the starting lineup and a forced to take on a bigger role on both sides of the ball.
If the season ended Sunday and Bowling Green was able to lock in the No. 1 seed for the Mid-American Conference, its performance against the Bobcats would show exactly how dominant the Falcons are.
After 72 hours of competition, the Bobcats left the SPIRE Institute in Geneva with thoughts of what "could have been" after finishing in sixth place at the Mid-American Conference Championships.
Although the regular season has yet to conclude, Saturday will serve as the final regular season home game for Ohio’s five seniors when they welcome Kent State.
Much to the pleasure of coach Bob Boldon, history wasn’t repeated as the Bobcats snapped a season-long 10-game losing streak on Thursday.
Ohio's new volleyball coach Deane Webb said that for the first time in his career he’s entering an established program.
At the conclusion of the first day of the Mid-American Conference Championship, the Bobcats find themselves on the outside looking in, but luckily for Ohio, two days of competition remain.
To say Ohio is undergoing a youth movement would be an understatement.
