Ohio posted decisive wins over Western Michigan 89 58 and Urbana 77 50 as Jaaron Simmons leads with intensity. The 9 3 Bobcats look to defend home turf Friday against Kent State while toting a 1 3 road mark and eyeing MAC race momentum.
The MAC season opens with a nine week stretch of close games and travel as teams set the table for the MAC Tournament. Ohio is predicted to finish no worse than No 3 seed, Akron will contend for top billing, and Buffalo likely won’t repeat as tourney champ.
Sophomore Gavin Block serves as a quiet catalyst for Ohio, playing 27 minutes per game with 6.1 PPG and 4.3 RPG while shaping outcomes through high IQ passes, on-ball defense, and charge-taking. Teammates note his vision and unheralded impact beyond box scores, as head coach Saul Phillips cites “lifting the tide.”
Ohio coach praises Block as a multi role performer who can run the offense, hit open shots, and take charges. Block emphasizes winning as his goal, while Phillips notes his unique value is seen in final scores and overall team improvement.
