ATHENS, Ohio -- Jordan Dartis scored 26 of his career-high 38 points in the first half as Ohio sprinted to an early lead and coasted to a 99-75 win over Akron to halt a four-game skid in Mid-American Conference action on Tuesday night.

The Bobcats closed out the first half on a 20-6 run to go into intermission with a 56-34 advantage. Ohio, which dropped a 101-98 double overtime game to Central Michigan on Saturday, pushed the advantage to 82-56 midway through the second period.

Daniel Utomi led Akron (10-13, 3-8), which has lost four straight, with 21 points, hitting 4 of 6 from distance. Malcolm Duvivier added 15 points and Eric Parrish scored 13.
