Jaivon Harris scored 13 of his 16 points in the second half to lead Ohio past Navy 63-52 Saturday night in Annapolis, Maryland. Both teams had trouble scoring in the first half as the Bobcats led 23-22 at intermission. Jeff Halbert's 3-pointer with 6:26 to play gave Ohio a 44-43 lead. That started an 11-0 run that put the Cats up 52-43 with 3:07 left and the Midshipmen wouldn't get closer than 5 points the rest of the way. Diamond Gladney had 12 points and Thomas Stephens 11 to finish in double figures for Ohio (3-6). Navy (2-6) got 17 points from George O' Garro and 14 from Laramie Mergerson.
The Bobcats will enjoy a break for Christmas before returning to action next Saturday where they'll face 22nd-ranked Wisconsin in the Rock N' Roll Shootout at Gund Arena in Cleveland.
