Ohio will look to avoid its first losing streak of the season when it hosts Western Michigan on Saturday in The Convo. The Bobcats suffered their third loss of the season Wednesday night at Toledo as they scored their lowest point total of the season, but should Ohio have little issue against the Broncos, who are fifth in the Mid-American Conference West Division.

The series

Player to watch
Wimby — The Broncos’ offense is ranked last in the MAC, and Wimby is the only consistent offensive threat Western Michigan carries. Ohio’s defense could have one of its best games of the year if it shuts down Wimby, who is 19th in the conference in scoring, averaging 13 points per game.
