The Miami RedHawks are one game away from college basketball immortality.
Only 20 teams have ever completed an undefeated regular season, with only three in the past 35 years. Sitting at 30-0, Miami University is right on the cusp of joining that exclusive club.
The final test comes on the road against bitter archrival Ohio University. The RedHawks will need to exorcise some Convocation Center demons to reach perfection, as they've lost 14 straight in Athens, Ohio. Ohio would love nothing more than to spoil Miami's perfect season.
Miami wouldn't just be the most recent undefeated team with a win. The 19th-ranked RedHawks would become the first Mid-American Conference team to ever finish a perfect regular season. A win in Athens would also go a long way to lock up an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Follow along for live updates as the Miami RedHawks chase perfection against the Ohio Bobcats.
When the RedHawks march into the Convocation Center Friday night, it's sure to be the most raucous road environment they've seen this year. A bitter rivalry matchup in the Battle of the Bricks will be dialed up to 11 as Ohio has a chance to spoil Miami's perfect season. Will Miami be able to respond to adversity as they have all season? It will come down to three keys: a fast start, protecting the ball, and holding Ohio's top threat in check. For a full breakdown, check out the Enquirer's scouting report and keys to a Miami win over Ohio.
For the first time in 21 years, the Miami RedHawks clinched the MAC regular-season championship with a win against Toledo on March 3. It was a triumphant moment for fourth-year head coach Travis Steele, but he and his team were crystal clear that they still had work to do. The Enquirer was on hand to watch the confetti fall in Millett Hall; be sure to check out how Miami won the MAC on March 3.
The RedHawks will be favored on the road Friday night. Miami is listed as a 5.5-point favorite against Ohio by BetMGM, with -235 odds to win straight-up.
Miami looked strong against the Bobcats within Millett Hall earlier this season. The RedHawks came away with a 90-74 win on Feb. 13. Ohio is on a two-game losing skid, but haven't lost at home to Miami since 2011.
