The loss to Akron was quickly overshadowed by Miami’s recent win against Kent State Saturday afternoon. The Golden Flashes, who sit fourth overall in the Mid-American Conference (MAC), are seeded significantly higher than Miami. Regardless, the RedHawks kept their composure. A three-point buzzer-beater by sophomore guard Peyton Scott secured the 61-58 win on Senior Day. Scott’s buzzer-beater was No. 5 on SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays the next morning.

The Ohio Bobcats went on a 16–2 run over the last two minutes (11–0 in the last 55 seconds) to erase an 11 point Buffalo lead, and give the Bobcats a 84–81 victory.

Buffalo is now 8–4 overall and 5–2 in the MAC.
The Bulls went on their own 18–0 run late in the third quarter and continuing on into the fourth quarter to open up a a 13 point lead. They maintained the 13 point lead with 4 minutes left on a lay-up by junior forward Ade Adeyeye. And then Ohio came charging back.

They out-rebounded EMU 19–11 (not counting “team rebounds”) and dominated in the paint. Sophomore center Elea Gaba had 7 points and sophomore guard Dyaisha Fair had 10 points.
A common theme this year has been a weak third quarter for the Bulls, while the opponent comes storming back. And so it was against EMU.
