The Bobcats haven’t lost five straight games since 2004 when Usher’s “Yeah!” was the No. 1 song in the country. Ohio wins its first in the MAC — take that and rewind it back.

I made a mistake picking the Bobcats last week, but after a bit of a change in pace and gut check in practice this week, Ohio will come out with its best performance of the season.

I'll believe it when I see it, but so far the Bobcats haven't shown much in their slowest start since before John Groce was on campus.

Our humble sports editor told us not to panic a week ago, so I won't count these guys out just yet, but I'm afraid a 0-5 start in the MAC would do it for a lot of people.

No way Saul allows his team to slip up anymore. Ohio earns its first conference win of the season.

Sure, there's still time to save themselves in the MAC, but if the Bobcats fall to 0-5, it's time to look forward to next season.
