BALTIMORE, Md. – Stevie Taylor converted a 3-point play with 3 seconds remaining to help lift Ohio to a 65-62 victory against Morgan State on Wednesday night.
 
Morgan State senior Anthony Hubbard scored on a putback to tie the ballgame at 62 apiece with 38 seconds left. It turned out to be just enough time for Ohio.
