† 2021 MAC tournament winner |
The 2020–21 Ohio University Bobcats men's basketball team represented Ohio University for the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Bobcats were led by second-year head coach Jeff Boals, who was a 1995 graduate of Ohio University.[1][2] The team played their home games at the Convocation Center in Athens, Ohio as a member of the Mid-American Conference.[3] In a season limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they finished the season 17–8, 9–5 in MAC play to finish in fifth place. As the No. 5 seed in the MAC tournament, they defeated Kent State, Toledo, and Buffalo to win the tournament championship.[4] A a result, they received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 13 seed in the West region.[5] There they upset No. 4-seeded Virginia in the First Round[6] before falling to No. 5-seeded Creighton in the Second Round.[7][8]
Previous season
[edit]The Bobcats finished the 2019–20 season 17–15, 8–10 in MAC play to finish in last place in the East division. As the No. 8 seed in the MAC tournament, they defeated Central Michigan in the first round before the tournament was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9]
