After a mildly disappointing 2010 – 11 season , resulting in a 19 – 16 record and a 2011 CIT Quarterfinal berth , the Bobcats came back in 2011 – 12 , with a 2012 MAC Tournament championship . The Bobcats received a No. 13 seed in the Midwest Region of the 2012 NCAA Tournament . Like 2010 , Ohio pulled off a first round upset , defeating 4th seeded and 13th ranked Michigan 65 – 60 , and followed by a 62 – 56 victory over 12th seeded South Florida to advance to their first Sweet Sixteen since 1964 . The Bobcats run ended in the Sweet Sixteen , as they fell in overtime to fourth ranked and top seeded North Carolina by a score of 73 – 65
