ATHENS, Ohio — Freshman guard Ché Brogan needed only 12 minutes to become the story of Ohio’s home opener. Brogan scored 18 points off the bench without missing a shot as the Bobcats beat North Carolina A&T 80-70 on Saturday afternoon at the Convocation Center, according to Ohio University Athletics’ recap and the Athens Messenger’s report of the game.
Brogan, from Melbourne, Australia, went 5-for-5 from the field, 1-for-1 from three and 7-for-7 at the free-throw line, with three rebounds, two assists and a steal, Basketball.com.au reported in its roundup of Australian players in U.S. college basketball. The Athens Messenger reported that Brogan thrived in his home debut and hit a game-sealing triple that pushed Ohio’s lead back to nine with 90 seconds remaining.
