BLOOMINGTON, IN -- Chalk up another "W"-- a very big "W"-- for the Ohio Bobcats! Ben Vander Plas scored 17 points and led a key second half rally as Ohio came from behind to edge the Virginia Cavaliers Saturday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. With the victory, the Bobcats move on to face No. 5 seed Creighton Monday night in Indianapolis. "I'm just really, really proud of our guys," Ohio head coach Jeff Boals said. "There were multiple times in the second half they could have broke. We always talk about bend but don't break. We got down 38-31, Ben Vander Plas made some huge plays in the second half. Jason Preston made some great plays, made big free throws down the stretch. Very fortunate to win the game." Virginia, defending NCAA tournament champions, owned a No. 4 seed for this year's event.
