In a game too competitive to be decided in 40 minutes, the men’s basketball team hung on in overtime to beat the Wright State Raiders 73-67 in Miami’s home opener on Tuesday.
This marks back-to-back games decided in the final two minutes of regulation or in overtime to start the RedHawks’ (2-0) season. It’s also the first time Miami has started a season 2-0 since 2011.
“I like our guys’ fight right now,” Miami head coach Jack Owens said. “They’re definitely competing, and I thought overall we did a good job. Everybody contributes — I think that’s a sign of a good team.
