No. 19 Miami of Ohio beats Toledo 74-72, extends season-opening winning streak to 30 games
The RedHawks (17-0 Mid-American Conference) remain the only undefeated team in Division I men’s basketball. Miami extended the best start in program history and added to its school record for wins in a season. Miami also boasts the best start and longest win streak in MAC annals.
Leroy Blyden Jr. led Toledo (16-4, 10-7) with 21 points and Sonny Wilson added 13.
Miami was coming off a 69-67 win over Western Kentucky on Friday night, when they needed a buzzer beater from freshman Trey Perry. In this game, the RedHawks jumped out to an early double-digit lead against the Rockets (16-14, 10-7) and never trailed.
Toledo cut the deficit to one on four occasions and looked as though it would take the lead on an Austin Parks drive to the basket with nine minutes remaining, but Miami’s Eian Elmer stuffed him at the rim and hit a 3-pointer a few seconds later to push the lead back to four points.
The Rockets trailed by two point and had the ball with 13 seconds remaining, but but turned the ball over with less than a second to play.
The victory gave the RedHawks their first season sweep of Toledo since the 1996-97 season, and it ran their series winning streak to three in a row overall after losing 22 straight from 2012-24.
Toledo: Hosts Buffalo on Friday.
