Ohio-Miami update

Ohio 55, Miami 46, 11:23 second half

The Bobcats keep making shots even though Tillman committed his third personal foul with 12:41 remaining. Can the Bobcats keep up their hot shooting?

Point guard Michael Allen has scored the first eight points of the second half to increase the Bobcats' lead to as big as nine. Ohio is a few points away from breaking the game open.

Coleman and Freeman each hit 3-pointers before the first half to give Ohio the lead into the locker room.

The stat of the night so far: The Bobcats are 7-of-8 from 3-point range. Coleman leads the way with 12 points and Orr has 11. Tillman has a quiet eight points.

Miami is being led by the 1-2 combination of Bramos and forward Tyler Dierkers.

If the Bobcats can keep this shooting up Miami has no chance. But expect the RedHawks to try to slow down the pace in the second half.

The pace of this game definitely favors the Bobcats. Miami isn't used to the fast-paced play of Ohio. Coleman continues to provide a spark off the bench with nine points.

But whenever the Bobcats seem poised to pull away from the RedHawks, Bramos buries a big shot to keep Miami in it.

Steven Coleman has come off the bench and energized the Bobcats with two baskets. Guard Tommy Freeman also hit a 3-pointer in the corner after Miami guard Michael Bramos drilled a 3 on the RedHawks' previous possession.

The RedHawks have coming out on fire making three 3-pointers. The Bobcats, though, haven't been fazed thanks to seniors Justin Orr and Jerome Tillman who have scored all 11 of Ohio's points.

It is very loud.

  1. I love how many posts you add! I feel as if I can look at your blog at any given moment and have an up-to-date report on the current game. I think it's great that you have so many posts already. I think it would be really cool if you could do a "player profile" and interview a player or two. Even two questions would be helpful!

  2. You picked the right game to do a play-by-play on. I think the Buffalo game would have ended unfinished and included way too many Michael-Allen-related cuss words.
