The undefeated Miami (OH) RedHawks continued their impressive season with a 86-74 victory over the Bowling Green Falcons on Friday night. The RedHawks' balanced scoring attack, led by Peter Suder's 14.8 points per game, proved too much for the Falcons' stifling defense. Bowling Green kept the game close with strong play from Javontae Campbell and Sam Towns, but Miami's efficient shooting and ball movement ultimately sealed the win.
Why it matters
Miami's perfect 26-0 record and 13-0 conference mark has them firmly in contention for a high NCAA Tournament seed, while Bowling Green's competitive showing against one of the nation's top teams demonstrates their ability to challenge any opponent in the Mid-American Conference.
The details
The RedHawks' offense was firing on all cylinders, shooting 53.5% from the field and 40.2% from three-point range. Their balanced attack was led by Suder's 14.8 points per game, along with strong contributions from Brant Byers (14.7 ppg, 41.7% 3PT) and Eian Elmer (11.9 ppg, 43.1% 3PT). Bowling Green kept the game close with 18.6 points per game from Javontae Campbell and a double-double from Sam Towns (12.1 ppg, 6.6 rpg), but Miami's efficient ball movement and low turnover rate (10.2 per game) proved too much to overcome.
- The game was played on Friday, February 20, 2026 at Millett Hall in Oxford, Ohio.

— Charlie Coles, Head Coach, Miami (OH) RedHawks (Miami (OH) Athletics)
