The Indianapolis native paced Western Michigan (6-9, 0-3 MAC) in scoring with 19 points, and narrowly missed out on a double-double with a team-high nine rebounds.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nJoining Brewer in double-figures for the Broncos were <a href=\"https:\/\/wmubroncos.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/justice-williams\/15597\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"15597\" target=\"_blank\">Justice Williams<\/a>, who netted 14 points off of the bench, and <a href=\"https:\/\/wmubroncos.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/jalen-griffith\/15593\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"15593\" target=\"_blank\">Jalen Griffith<\/a>, who tallied 10 points. <a href=\"https:\/\/wmubroncos.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/carson-vis\/15595\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"15595\" target=\"_blank\">Carson Vis<\/a> posted nine points and five rebounds, with <a href=\"https:\/\/wmubroncos.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/max-burton\/15586\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"15586\" target=\"_blank\">Max Burton<\/a> contributing eight points and six boards.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nMiami (16-0, 4-0) built a 13-6 edge in the early stages of the contest. The Broncos countered with a 9-3 stretch, capped by a Brewer old-fashioned, three-point play, to close the gap to one, 16-15. The RedHawks slowly built their lead back to seven, 31-24, but WMU whittled it down to a 39-35 deficit at halftime. \u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe Broncos started the second half with back-to-back three-pointers by <a href=\"https:\/\/wmubroncos.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/trey-lewis\/15592\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"15592\" target=\"_blank\">Trey Lewis<\/a> and Griffith to take their first lead of the night, 41-39. Miami went back ahead a few minutes later, tallying seven straight points to grab a 48-43 edge. At 52-47, the hosts used a 7-2 spurt to push the margin into double-figures, 59-49. A 12-4 push then gave the RedHawks their biggest cushion of the night, 74-57, and they led by double-digits for the remainder of the evening.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nWMU connected on 42.4 percent (28-of-66) from the floor for the evening, while Miami shot 50.0 percent (27-of-54).<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nWestern Michigan begins a stretch of four out of five at home on Saturday afternoon as it welcomes Eastern Michigan to University Arena for a 1 pm tip.
