In their last game against the Stonehill Skyhawks, Miami dominated with a 97-59 victory. Their offense was on fire, shooting nearly 49 percent from the field and an impressive 39 percent from beyond the arc. They also excelled in rebounding with a total of 52 boards and demonstrated great ball movement with 26 assists.


However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for Miami; they faced a tougher challenge against La Salle Explorers but managed to secure an 84-77 win. Despite lower three-point shooting accuracy at around 27 percent, they compensated with strong two-point field goal shooting at 60 percent and maintained high free throw accuracy.

The game prior saw them stumble against Colorado Buffaloes where they lost with a score of 63-90. This was despite maintaining decent shooting percentages across the board. Turnovers were an issue in this matchup as they gave up possession twenty times which translated into points for Colorado.


The upcoming match presents an opportunity for redemption and continuation of winning ways for Miami (FL). With solid scoring abilities and rebounding strength shown in past games, if they can tighten up on turnovers and maintain defensive pressure, there's potential for another successful outing.
