Ohio hoped to extend a two-game win streak Saturday against Kent State. Instead, the Bobcats suffered their eighth loss of the Mid-American Conference season to the Golden Flashes and reverted to their losing habits from the first month of the conference schedule.
Now, Ohio will look to take advantage of an opponent with similar losing struggles against Central Michigan, who will enter The Convo on Tuesday with a three-game losing streak.
Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.
