Texas State dominated the inside game in Ohio win

Texas State 74, Ohio 65: Texas State dominated the inside game, outrebounding Ohio 48-27 and scoring 50 points in the paint in winning the fifth-place game at the Myrtle Beach Invitational.

“These guys recognize that we may not have a good night shooting, but you should never have a bad night rebounding,” Texas State coach Terrance Johnson said. “When this team plays with emotion rather than playing emotional, they’re a much better team. They’re tough to beat when they’re locked in and focused.”

Tylan Pope led the Bobcats with 24 points and 10 rebounds. Ohio was paced by AJ Clayton’s 18 points.
