Miami Ohio’s Bold Strategy: What They’re Hiding That Could Change Everything
Miami Ohio is one of the more argued schools in the entire bracket. I find it a bit comical that people don’t want them in the tournament, but I also get the point. When you have a mid-major school that goes undefeated in the regular season, they have to be one of two things: Very good, or playing bad competition. I suppose it could be a combination of both. Miami Ohio is pretty good, but they aren’t great. They ended up losing the MAC Tournament, which went to Akron, and that put them in this game. It is almost like the selection committee said: “We don’t think you belong, but if you win a game and prove it, that’s fine.” I actually don’t hate that approach, but I still think this dismisses their regular-season success. You really can’t tell me they aren’t at least the 64th best team in the nation. I realize that’s not how it works, but it probably should be. The Redhawks lost to Massachusetts, a team that is 17-16 for the season. I suppose that’s part of the reason the team was dismissed. However, it is really hard to win games in a row. The Redhawks won 31 in a row and were teetering on a loss for about two or three weeks. It finally happened.
