31-0! Miami RedHawks Near Perfect Season
11 Mar
Summary
- Miami RedHawks completed regular season undefeated at 31-0.
- Team has won four games in overtime this season.
- They rank second nationally in scoring at 90.9 points per game.
The Miami RedHawks have concluded their regular season with an unprecedented 31-0 record. Their journey has been filled with close contests, including four overtime victories, mirroring their 110-108 win over rival Ohio. This season's success is a stark contrast to their performance just two seasons ago.
Offensively, the RedHawks are a powerhouse, averaging 90.9 points per game, second in the nation, with Peter Suder leading the balanced attack. Defensively, however, they concede 74.9 points per game, ranking 91st nationally. This presents a challenge entering the MAC tournament.
Their undefeated streak places them in rare company, with only seven teams historically finishing an NCAA Division I season undefeated and winning the championship. Recent undefeated teams like the 2015 Kentucky Wildcats and the 2021 Gonzaga Bulldogs also fell short of a perfect championship season.
The team's strength of schedule, ranked 272nd, could impact their NCAA tournament seeding, even if they win the MAC tournament. A strong showing in the conference tournament might secure them an at-large bid, but historical precedent suggests challenges for undefeated teams aiming for a title.
