Miami (Ohio)<\/a> advanced to 29-0 in dramatic fashion on Friday night, as Trey Perry<\/a> lifted the RedHawks to a 69-67 win at Western Michigan<\/a> with a game-winning layup in the final second. The win brings Miami within two victories of completing a perfect regular season.<\/p>\n It took everything the RedHawks could muster amid adverse circumstances on the road to avoid what would have been a potentially devastating Quad 4 loss. Miami didn’t earn its first lead of the second half until the 1:45 mark as it navigated life without two stars. Leading scorer Peter Suder<\/a> fouled out with 7:03 remaining and the RedHawks down 57-50. He had 18 points on 7 of 13 shooting, and his departure after just 27 minutes of playing time left the RedHawks in a bind.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Redhawks also played without starting point guard Luke Skaljac<\/a> due to injury. But when the pressure was on, Miami demonstrated the clutch gene that has been part of its DNA all season. Perry finished with 14 points on 6 of 8 shooting. Almar Atlas added 16 points, including 12 in the second half. His 4-point play with 3:26 remaining sliced a 5-point deficit to just one.<\/p>\n Miami entered as an 11.5-point favorite but struggled from the jump as Western Michigan built a 6-point lead in the opening minutes. WMU closed the first half on a 7-0 run as Miami coach Travis Steele began to take exception with the officiating.<\/p>\n He ultimately received a technical foul and went to the locker in a fit of rage. Western Michigan then built a 9-point lead before Miami figured out a way to claw back and keep its storybook start alive. The RedHawks close the regular season next week against Toledo<\/a> and Ohio<\/a> as they seek to become the first team since Gonzaga<\/a> in 2021 to finish the regular season unbeaten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CBS Sports screenshot Miami (Ohio) advanced to 29-0 in dramatic fashion on Friday night, as Trey Perry lifted…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":172366,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[8294,2535,62342,123,26238,125,124,81956,81959,81957,81958,23337,61114,29024,81960,41091],"class_list":{"0":"post-172365","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami","8":"tag-college-basketball","9":"tag-gonzaga-bulldogs","10":"tag-luke-skaljac","11":"tag-miami","12":"tag-miami-ohio-redhawks","13":"tag-miami-headlines","14":"tag-miami-news","15":"tag-miami-ohio-basketball","16":"tag-miami-ohio-score","17":"tag-miami-ohio-undefeated","18":"tag-miami-ohio-vs-western-michigan","19":"tag-ohio-bobcats","20":"tag-peter-suder","21":"tag-toledo-rockets","22":"tag-trey-perry","23":"tag-western-michigan-broncos"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172365\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
