The Miami RedHawks (6-4) defended their home court Saturday, defeating Fort Wayne 81-73 at Millett Hall. The win snapped a three-game losing streak against the Mastodons (6-5), and allowed Miami to remain undefeated at home this season.
“I’m excited about the guys competing,” Miami head coach Jack Owens said. “We were able to get them out of rhythm. That was a really good offensive team, and our guys stayed to the scouting reports, the game plan and executed offensively and defensively.”
The RedHawks quickly fell behind in the first half, as Fort Wayne Redshirt senior guard Bryson Scott converted a layup and then hit a three pointer to put the Mastodons up 5-0.
