HOW IT HAPPENED
• The Bobcats matched their season high for points scored after shooting a season-best 52.9 percent (27-of-51) from the field. Ohio put together its second-best shooting effort of the year from beyond the arc, converting at a 52.4 percent (11-of-21) clip from three-point land. The Bobcats turned the ball over a season-low six times.
• Kaminski made a career-high nine field goals on 14 attempts -- including a career-high eight treys on 11 three-point attempts. He also grabbed four rebounds in 35 minutes.
• Junior forward Antonio Campbell (Cincinnati, Ohio) recorded his second-straight double-double and fourth of the season, finishing with 18 points and a game-high 11 rebounds in 21 minutes. He also logged a block. Campbell shot 5-of-9 from the field -- including 2-of-3 from beyond the arc. He went a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line.
• Freshman guard Jordan Dartis (Newark, Ohio) totaled 15 points in 35 minutes off of a 3-for-6 shooting effort. He also sank all eight of his attempts from the charity stripe. Dartis added two assists and two rebounds.
• Redshirt sophomore guard Jaaron Simmons (Dayton, Ohio) posted his second career double-double with 10 points and a game-high 10 assists in 30 minutes of action. He also added two rebounds and a steal.
• Redshirt senior forward Treg Setty (Maysville, Ky.) put together another efficient effort, going 4-of-6 from the field for eight points. He also collected two rebounds and an assist in 28 minutes.
• Senior forward Trent Weaver and freshman forward Michael Simon each tallied 18 points to lead Ohio Dominican in scoring. Weaver went 5-of-11 from the field and 7-of-10 from the free throw line and hauled in a team-high six rebounds in 33 minutes. Simon shot 6-of-9 -- including 4-of-7 from three -- in 15 minutes of work off of the bench.
• Sophomore guard Shemar Waugh dished out a team-high six assists and added four points and three rebounds in 33 minutes for the Panthers.
• Senior guard Chad Nelson and sophomore forward Mike DeLeon each recorded eight points for Ohio Dominican. Nelson also added two rebounds in 26 minutes while DeLeon grabbed four boards and recorded an assist.
• Ohio Dominican jumped out to an early 13-11 lead with just under 14 minutes to play in the first half thanks to threes by Nelson, sophomore guard Adam Cytlak and Weaver.
• Kaminski put the Bobcats in front for good seconds after Weaver's triple by knocking down his second trey of the contest.
• Ohio's lead swelled to a half-high 12 points at 40-28 with just over two minutes to go in the opening 20 minutes of play as Kaminski sank another three.
• The Panthers cut Ohio's lead down to eight points at the break, though, closing the half out by scoring four unanswered points thanks to two free throws by Weaver and a last-second layup by freshman forward Ben Casanova.
• A three by Nelson with 17:45 to play in the second half made it a seven-point game at 44-37, but that's as close as the Bobcats let Ohio Dominican get.
• A layup by Setty with just over 17 minutes remaining put Ohio up by 11 at 49-38, and the Bobcats never led by less than double digits the rest of the way.
• Ohio Dominican shaved Ohio's lead back down to 12 at 70-58 on a trey by sophomore guard Ronnie Williams with just over seven minutes to go, but the Bobcats responded with a 23-11 run the rest of the way to win by 24. A conventional three-point play by junior forward Wadly Mompremier (Miami, Fla.), a pair of threes and two made free throws by Kaminski and jumpers by sophomore guard Mike Laster (Detroint, Mich.) and sophomore forward Sam Frayer (Cincinnati, Ohio) helped Ohio secure the win.

QUOTABLE
Second-year head coach Saul Phillips on redshirt junior forward Kenny Kaminski
"He's one of those guys, you see the ball leaving his hands and you think it's going in. The bench...if I were to take a three-pointer, the bench wouldn't rise up when I played. But, it's automatic when he catches and shoots."

Second-year head coach Saul Phillips on career win No. 150
"I wouldn't have known. I'm grateful I'm able to coach 150 games at any level, let alone win 150. It's a pretty bold dream for a marginal-to-awful athlete out of Reedsburg, Wisconsin."

Redshirt junior forward Kenny Kaminski on his career night
"After I saw that first one go through, I just stayed the course and let the game come to me. Jaaron kind of rode my wave a little bit and got me 31 tonight. I think I made eight threes tonight. I'd never scored 30 before in a college game. This is the best I've felt in a long time."

Redshirt sophomore guard Jaaron Simmons on redshirt junior forward Kenny Kaminski
"I saw the first one go in as well. I knew it was going to be a good night. If I see him hit one, and then I see him hit two, I'm going to keep going back to him."

UP NEXT
The Bobcats play their second of four-straight home games to close out 2015-16 non-conference play on Thursday (Dec. 17) as Jackson State (4-7) visits the Convocation Center for a 7 p.m. ET matchup.
