Bobcats beat Maryland
On the strength of a 20-point performance by Jerome Tillman and a 15-point, 15-rebound performance by Leon Williams, the Ohio Bobcats knocked off the Maryland Terps 61-55.
The Bobcats led 48-31 with just over 11 minutes to play, and withstood a strong Maryland comeback that pulled the deficit to just three with only 51 seconds remaining.
This was an impressive road win for the Bobcats. Maryland had not lost a home non-conference game in 5 years. Since he took over the program, Gary Williams was 131-3 in home non-conference games. Coming into the game, Maryland had been 10-0 vs the MAC.
The MAC East is shaping up to be a very tough division this year as Miami, Kent, and Ohio have all looked very impressive against some tough out-of-conference competition. As we get closer to the start of conference play, VanDelay will be taking a closer look at how each team has performed so far this season, and what we expect going forward.
