Miami upset bid slips away in second half Bobcats shoot 55.1 percent after intermission; Steele laments turnovers By MIKE SMITH OXFORD, OH -- Miami never trailed in the first half and led by as many as 12 before intermission, but the surging Ohio Bobcats exploded for 46 second half points to defeat the RedHawks 72-59 Friday at Millett Hall.

Miami looking for offense, defensive stops against Ohio Bobcats 3-point success among challenges By MIKE SMITH Tuesday's challenge for Miami basketball was to beat an opponent that had won the last 21 meetings. It didn't go well at all. Friday's new challenge is to upset an arch-rival that is arguably the MAC's hottest team. Miami hosts Ohio Friday night (7 p.m.ET) in the regular season finale for both teams, with each already guaranteed a spot in next week's MAC Tournament. The RedHawks (9-8 MAC) are currently tied with Bowling Green (9-8 MAC) for fifth place -- two games behind Central Michigan (11-6 MAC) and one game ahead of Kent State (8-9) and Western Michigan (8-9).

Miami, meanwhile, had . . . MU win streak ends as UT extends series domination OXFORD, OH -- If the Miami RedHawks (9-8 MAC, 15-15 overall) were going to break Toledo's 21-game win streak in the MU- UT series, they needed to shoot well and find a way to stymie the league's top offense. Neither of those things happened Tuesday at Millett Hall, and the result was a dominating 97-63 Rockets win. As Miami Head Coach Travis Steele later pointed out, Toledo (13-4 MAC, 19-11 overall) performed like it was playing for a regular season championship. With Eastern Michigan's 61-60 upset win in Akron, the Rockets, indeed, joined the Zips atop the MAC standings. One regular season game remains before next week's MAC tournament. Miami, meanwhile, has . . .

MU seeks to snap Toledo's 21-game series streak Except for a (71-58) clunker at Western Michigan Feb. 20, the Miami RedHawks are on a bit of a roll. They have won four of their last five, including the last three. The recent success has served them well, with MU's victory at Eastern Michigan Saturday locking up a spot in the upcoming MAC tournament. Two regular season games remain -- both at home, but both against upper level MAC opponents who have already beaten Miami once earlier this season.
