Skaljac named MAC Player of the Week
The Mid-American Conference announced its weekly men's basketball awards today and Miami's Luke Skaljac was recognized as MAC Co-Player of the Week.

The Brecksville, Ohio native propelled Miami to a pair of wins against UMass and Bowling Green to remain undefeated (27-0, 14-0 MAC). In 31.9 minutes per game, Skaljac averaged 20.0 points, 6.0 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 steal. He also shot 14-of-25 (56.0%) from the field, 6-of-13 (46.2%) from the three-point line and 6-of-7 (85.7%) from the free-throw line over the two games. The sophomore guard opened the week with 16 points, seven assists, two rebounds and one steal in an 86-77 win over the Minutemen Tuesday night. Skaljac then recorded 24 points (the most of his career), five assists, three rebounds and one steal in a 91-77 victory against the Falcons Friday night.



MU vs UC football site moved
Jeremy Rauch of Fox19 is among those reporting the Cincinnati vs Miami 2026 football matchup will be moved to TQL Stadium -- home of FC Cincinnati soccer. The RedHawks vs Bearcats contest will be the first ever college football game at the stadium. 

RedHawks move up to No. 21 in AP poll
The Miami University men's basketball team was selected No. 21 overall (highest ranking of the 2025-26 season) in the Associated Press Top 25 men's college basketball poll on Monday afternoon. 
The Red and White currently have a 27-0 (14-0 MAC) record, as they most recently earned a pair of wins against UMass (86-77) and Bowling Green (91-77) to remain undefeated. 
Miami is back in action Tuesday, Feb. 24 at 6:30 p.m. at Eastern Michigan.


Ohio game moved to Friday

    It's a toss-up as to whether he enjoys writing or photography best. No matter, though, because the goal is to inform and entertain readers through both.
