The 2025–26 Ohio University Bobcats men's basketball team represented Ohio University for the 2025–26 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Bobcats were led by sixth-year head coach Jeff Boals, who was a 1995 graduate of Ohio University.[1][2] They play their home games at the Convocation Center in Athens, Ohio, as a member of the Mid-American Conference.[3][4]
They finished the 2025–26 season 15–17, 9–9 in MAC play, to finish tied for 5th place.[5] The Bobcats struggled to a 1–6 record to open the season. They qualified for the MAC tournament as the 6th seed where they lost in the quarterfinals to Kent State[6] This was Ohio's first losing season in Boals' tenure at Ohio and the first since 2018–19 season.
Previous season
The Bobcats were picked to win the conference but finished with a 16–16 record. They posted a disappointing 6–6 record entering 2025 prior to the start of league play. They finished tied for fourth in the MAC with a 10–6 conference record and lost their January matchup in the MAC-SBC challenge.[7] With a first round loss to Toledo, they failed to reach the MAC tournament semifinals for the first time since 2020 when the tournament was cancelled due to coronavirus pandemic.[8][9]
