ATHENS, Ohio - The fourth installment of the hour-long John Groce Show will take place at 7 p.m. ET on Monday at Donatos Pizza and Ashby's Ice Cream on East State St. in Athens. Hosted by Russ Eisenstein, the Voice of the Bobcats, the program will air 11 times throughout the season.

Fans can listen in on WSEO 107.7 FM, or over the Internet at ohiobobcats.com, as Groce and Eisenstein recap the Bobcats' recent outings and look ahead to Ohio's upcoming games. Questions will be taken from the audience, but fans may also pose questions for Coach Groce by calling (866) 993-2555.

Sophomore forward DeVaughn Washington (Virginia Beach, Va.) will be this week's guest on the John Groce Show. Washington, who is averaging 6.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game with one double-double this season, will drop by for a segment near the midway point of the program.

Winners of three-straight contests, the Bobcats will wrap up their season-long four-game homestand on Sunday, Jan. 11, when they open Mid-American Conference play against defending league regular-season and tournament champion Kent State. Pregame coverage will commence on the Citizens Bank Ohio ISP Sports Network at 1:30 p.m. ET, with the game slated for a 2 p.m. tip.
