Looking at the Miami OH box score, for just the 4th time in MAC play, Miami OH didn't have a FTA advantage. Both teams shot 18 FTs. Also of note, Miami OH didn't have a bad shooting day (48% FG, 36% 3P); UMass only shot 20% from 3P and 52% from FG. Almost a carbon copy of last year's MAC title game where Miami OH shot the ball well and still lost to a team with a worse shooting performance. Is Steele the new Kowalchoke?
Edit: Also, UMass outrebounded Miami OH 41-24.
