The perfect season is over for the Miami RedHawks After a 31-0 regular season that set Mid-American Conference records, Miami (OH) fell 87–83 to UMass in a MAC Men’s Basketball Tournament quarterfinal matchup on Thursday. While the RedHawks were up 39-37 at the half and then repeatedly extended their lead to double-digits in the second – as high as 11 points – the Minutemen stormed back, thanks in large part to a dominant showing on the offensive glass. UMass finished with 17 offensive rebounds in the upset win, while Miami (OH) managed just 24 total rebounds. The Minutemen scored 50 points in the second half, powered by second-chance points, and the RedHawks could not hold the lead. Miami (OH) entered Thursday’s matchup as the No. 1 seed in the MAC Tournament and appeared to be a mid-major lock heading into March Madness. However, that could come into question now following a loss to a UMass team that was 16-15 and ranked 204th in the NCAA Men’s Basketball NET Rankings coming into the game. Miami (OH) sat at 54th in the NET before the defeat, though that will take a hit with the loss to the Minutemen. Massachusetts will advance to take on the winner of 4-seeded Toledo and 5-seeded Bowling Green in the MAC semifinals on Friday.
