The Miami Redhawks’ undefeated season came to a screaching halt in the MAC Conference Quarterfinals.
DOWN GOES MIAMI (OH) 😱

After trailing most of the game, the Minutemen’s late surge in the final five minutes was the nail in the coffin for the RedHawks undefeated campaign. It was a game that defines why basketball in March is so electric.

We will have a BID STEALER out of the MAC!
Frank Martin and UMass stun Miami (OH) in Cleveland.
Redhawks are now 31-1 and could be headed to Dayton.
The Minutemen are just TWO WINS away from the NCAA Tournament.
This is ******* March.

Selection Sunday has now just become a lot more nerve-racking for the Redhawks. While their 31-1 record against a very weak bubble should be enough to lock them in, nothing is guaranteed after failing to win the MAC Tournament.
I’m already imagining the committee picking Auburn/Indiana over Miami (OH)
Unfortunately, it’s going to happen

Soooooooo is Miami a tournament team?
This is a really bad loss. If Auburn beats Tennessee today, it’s going to be a looooong wait on selection Sunday for Miami. https://t.co/6teSTL4oO7

Actually a fun game to watch, Miami (OH) in my opinion should be locked

Miami was an incredible story all season and a lot of fun to watch. It would be a shame if it ended like this.
