The undefeated Miami RedHawks, the Mid-American Conference regular-season champions and 19th-ranked team in the country, defeated their archrival Ohio Bobcats in overtime, 110-108, to improve to 31-0 and complete a perfect regular season.
The RedHawks, the only unbeaten Div. I men's basketball team, enter the MAC tournament as the top seed, seeking the league's NCAA tournament automatic bid.
The RedHawks open the conference tourney Thurs., March 12, at 11 a.m. Eastern.
"Let's be honest. We've never had a scenario quite like this," ESPN Bracketologist Joe Lunardi said of the RedHawks. "I just still can't imagine the selection committee leaving out a 31-0 team that loses in their conference tournament."
Head coach Travis Steele told ESPN's Scott Van Pelt that he believes the RedHawks can be a second-weekend team in the NCAA tournament.
Chris Bassitt, a former Akron pitcher with the Baltimore Orioles, said March 6 he'd have a tough time picking the Zips to beat the RedHawks in the MAC tourney.
