ATHENS, Ohio -- The 'Saul Phillips Show' is back for one final show in 2016-17 on Thursday (March) night on the Ohio IMG Sports Network from 6-7 p.m. ET. The program is at a new location this year -- Broney's on Court Street in uptown Athens, which is the same spot the 'Frank Solich Show' has been held at for the past two seasons.

The third-year head coach of Ohio men's basketball joins the ninth-year 'Voice of the Bobcats' Russ Eisenstein. Fans will hear recaps of previous games, a preview of upcoming matchups and from Bobcat student-athletes.

This week's student-athlete guest is senior guard Drew Crabtree (Marysville, Ohio), who has played in 35 career games over his four-year Bobcat career after joining the program as a walk-on. 

Fans are encouraged to see the show live, but if you can't make it, it's on eight stations on the radio network.

Ohio (18-10, 10-7 MAC) concludes the 2016-17 regular season by hosting a Senior Day edition of the 'Battle of the Bricks' against MAC East Division archrival Miami (11-19, 4-13 MAC) on Friday (March 3) at the Convo. The opening tip is slated for 6:30 p.m. ET. The contest will be nationally televised on CBS Sports Network. 

Ohio and Miami met last Tuesday (Feb. 21) at Millett Hall in Oxford, Ohio, with the Bobcats coming away with a 79-62 victory in the first meeting of the season.

Friday's contest will have major postseason implications for Ohio. With a win over the RedHawks, the Bobcats lock down a top-four seed in next week's MAC Tournament presented by VisitMyrtleBeach.com at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland and will earn a bye to the quarterfinals, which are scheduled to be played next Thursday (March 9).
