No. 21 Miami (OH) maintained their perfect record with a 69-67 victory over Western Michigan, rallying from a halftime deficit for the sixth time this season. The RedHawks (29-0, 16-0 MAC) also overcame a nine-point deficit with just 6:38 remaining to secure the win in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Head coach Travis Steele drew attention before halftime when he was assessed a technical foul for sending a speaker flying during an outburst directed at officials. Despite the distraction, Miami (OH) showed resilience to improve to 29-0 and remain the lone unbeaten team in Division I men's college basketball.
