Ohio Bobcats Coaches Show with Jeff Boals: Episode 4

COLUMBUS (WCMH) — The Ohio Bobcats Coaches Show with Jeff Boals returns after a week off and the bye week paid dividends for OU. The Bobcats are coming off back-to-back wins in the MAC for the first time this season after beating Miami 77-46 and Western Michigan 73-61.

Ohio’s 31-point win is the school’s second-largest victory over the RedHawks. The Bobcats jumped out to a lead seven minutes into the first half and never gave it up. In that game, freshman Jason Preston recorded his first career triple-double and just the second in school history.
