The Miami (Ohio) RedHawks are still undefeated. They are out there trying to prove that they deserve a much higher ranking than just No. 20. They will host the Ohio Bobcats at home next as they seek to continue their dominance of the MAC, but the Bobcats have other plans. They lost to Old Dominion in a close game, and bouncing back against the undefeated team sitting atop the conference could be a massive comeback.

Both teams are expected to play some small ball, but the Bobcats are expected to have a more solid frontline with Hadaway and Simmons. However, the Redhawks have a much more balanced starting five, with four of their five starters all in double figured during that dominant win over Marshall last Sunday. Still, Ohio has been doing well as of late, and they too have a good starting five led by Hadaway, Simmons and Sheldon.

Miami (Ohio) has been unstoppable in the MAC so far, and their road to March Madness is pretty clear at this point already, plus they are holding the homecourt advantage. While Ohio does have a chance for an upset, that is still a bit unlikely given the Redhawks’ dominance.
