It’s March and, in eight days, one loss will end the RedHawks’ season. Now is not the time to start losing, but Miami has lost two straight.
Despite the losses, the women’s basketball team has secured a Mid-American Conference tournament first-round bye and automatically advances to the quarterfinals on Wednesday, March 13 in Cleveland.
“That’s really, really important for us,” head coach Megan Duffy said. “That was one of our main goals, when we went on our streak earlier in the year, was to get one of those top-4 seeds […] We’re really excited. It’s just as important to get extra rest and, obviously, not have to play that first game on Monday and go right to the [quarterfinals].
