Miami (Ohio)’s incredible unbeaten run continued on Saturday thanks to an overtime winner by Peter Suder.
Suder hit a 3-pointer with 1.5 seconds left in OT to give the RedHawks a 105-102 home win over Buffalo. The win pushed Miami to 19-0.
Miami is one of just three teams that entered the weekend without a loss, along with Arizona and Nebraska. The RedHawks are now 7-0 in the MAC.

Suder’s 37 points are the most he’s scored in a single game since he dropped 42 on Air Force in December 2024. Suder was 13-of-22 from the field and 7-of-10 from 3-point range. All five of Miami’s starters had at least 12 points, as the team got just seven points from the bench.
The RedHawks have been one of the best offensive teams in the country this season. Their offensive rating ranks second, though advanced statistics like KenPom don’t treat Miami as kindly, thanks to the team’s strength of schedule. Miami played two lower-level teams outside of MAC play and did not play a power conference opponent.
That lack of schedule strength could be an issue for the NCAA tournament committee if the RedHawks don’t win the MAC tournament. But that’s a problem for another day. Miami deserves to be ranked in the AP Top 25 on Monday and should stay there as long as it stays unbeaten.
