No. 24 Miami (Ohio) Rallies Past UMass to Stay Perfect

Miami (Ohio) tied the Mid-American Conference record with a 21-0 start, fueled by Eian Elmer's 30 points and clutch plays in a close 86-84 win over UMass.

  • Tuesday night, the Miami RedHawks improved to 21-0 with an 86-84 victory over the Massachusetts Minutemen in Oxford, Ohio.
  • Scoring leader Elmer fueled Miami's comeback with a career-high 30 points, shooting 9 of 14 overall and hitting multiple 3-pointers in the second half.
  • K'Jei Parker made three free throws with 8 seconds left after a foul by Justin Kirby, then Peter Suder was fouled with 4.4 seconds and missed one free throw as Isaiah Placide's half-court heave fell short.
  • The win tied Miami with the 2001-02 Kent State squad for the MAC's longest in-season run, and Miami remains one of two unbeaten Division I teams, joining top-ranked Arizona after Nebraska's loss.
  • Miami will host Northern Illinois on Saturday while still missing starting point guard Evan Ipsaro and starting guard Luke Skaljac due to illness.
