No. 21 Miami University needed some last-second heroics to remain unbeaten on Friday. Trey Perry's basket with 0.4 seconds helped Miami complete a 69-67 come-from-behind win over West Michigan in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Red and White remains the nation's only unbeaten team in Division I at 29-0, and 16-0 in the Mid-American Conference (MAC).

Why it matters

Miami's undefeated season and perfect conference record are significant achievements, especially as they continue to win close games against tough opponents like West Michigan. The team's resilience and ability to make clutch plays down the stretch will be crucial as they aim to maintain their perfect record and make a deep run in the NCAA tournament.

The details

Perry started the game in place of the injured point guard Luke Skaljac. Peter Suder led the RedHawks with 18 points while Almar Atlason added 16. Perry finished with 14 points while Eian Elmer scored 10 points. The Broncos led 30-26 at halftime, and Western Michigan led by as many as nine points, 59-50, with 6:38 to play. However, Miami rallied, with Atlason scoring nine straight points, including a four-point play, to cut the deficit to 63-62 with 3:26 to play. Elmer and Woolfolk then gave Miami the lead, 66-65, with 1:45 remaining. After Western Michigan tied the game at 67-67 with 12 seconds left, Perry made the game-winning layup off the glass with 0.4 seconds remaining.
