Everyone says Miami OH got every team's best shot - no, Akron did. The performances Yale and Murray State had against us were unbelievable.

Good luck to all!

It's not hating to point out that Miami OH played quite possibly the worst bubble team imaginable without their 3rd highest scorer and potentially 2nd best player. A 37% 3P shooting team shot 24% despite limited defense from Miami OH, especially in that first half. Enfield might be the worst coach in the country, which is saying something because Rob Senderoff exists. Legitimately not sure they watched any tape on Miami OH in preparation for the game. The Redhawks shot their season average on 41 3PA which is absurd and proof that SMU didn't do anything to run them off the 3P line (Woolfolk was 0-3 to boot). They refused to attack Elmer or Byers and let both players light them up all night. SMU was a nightmare matchup for Miami OH and SMU didn't use any of the advantages they had. Again, props to Miami OH for seizing the opportunity, but there are MANY mid majors that would've beaten SMU last night, especially in front of a home crowd.

Also, we witnessed tonight why traditional big men are a waste of money in the NIL era. Shooters are a much, MUCH better value.

Miami OH's game on Friday should be the last time we see any of these guys play or coach for Miami OH. Steele just earned himself any job he wants, including his Alma Mater Butler.

Thank you SMU, Enfield, and the Selection Committee for gifting Miami OH a win and Akron/the MAC a nice payday (to Miami OH's credit, they took it). Go take care of business on Friday, Zips.

Not in the slightest, especially without BJ.

Walters might be the worst basketball player ever.

Oh my gosh. Flagrant 1 for that? Lol

Here come the Miami OH Foul Merchants.

Truly some of the worst coaching I've ever seen. Btw, Miami OH's game plan is horrendous. They're getting away with it because SMU isn't making squat and they're making enough.

I think he's their #2. For a team that doesn't have size, 2 of their biggest players have lethal shots. That's what gives them any type of separation from their competition - not Suder.

He changes the game in every way imaginable for Miami OH.

It is absurd that people don't think Elmer is Miami OH's best player.

The only thing being proven so far is SMU didn't deserve to be in after their lie. Holy crap are they crapping the bed. Enfield is the guy who coached the dunk squad at FGCU yet he's not attacking the paint here.

Neither team belongs. Oh my.

There may have been 18k in Cleveland last Saturday if it was Miami OH instead of Toledo.

Down by 20. It's beautiful (ESPN+).

BJ Edwards is OUT. Hope they get blasted by 50 by Tennessee.
