Miami (Ohio) Reaches 19-0 on Suder's OT Winner, Ties MAC Best Start

Pollsters now weigh an elite offense against a light schedule in judging Miami's résumé.

Overview

  • The RedHawks edged Buffalo 105-102 in overtime on Saturday after a deciding three with 1.5 seconds left.
  • Eian Elmer forced overtime with a buzzer-beating three at the end of regulation before Peter Suder hit the winner.
  • Suder finished with 37 points on 13-of-22 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc.
  • The 19-0 start matches the Mid-American Conference record set by Western Michigan in 1975–76 and moves Miami to 7-0 in league play.
  • Miami boasts one of the nation’s top offensive ratings, yet evaluators flag a light schedule, with recent AP voting at 49 points and USA TODAY projecting an 11 seed.
