The undefeated Miami RedHawks (31-0) enter the 2026 Mid-American Conference Tournament as the undisputed team to beat after a perfect regular season.
They are set to face the eighth-seeded UMass Minutemen (16-15) on Thursday (11 a.m. ET, ESPN+) at Rocket Arena in Cleveland with a spot in the semifinals on the line.
Current college basketball odds reveal the RedHawks at -7.5 against the Minutemen and an over/under of 163.5.
Miami’s high-octane offense leads the conference in scoring and field goal percentage, primarily fueled by senior guard and MAC Player of the Year frontrunner Peter Suder.
The RedHawks narrowly defeated the Minutemen in both regular-season meetings, including a two-point thriller in January and a hard-fought nine-point victory in mid-February.
UMass enters this postseason matchup after snapping a late-season losing skid with a victory over Ohio, relying heavily on the frontcourt duo of Leonardo Bettiol and Marcus Banks Jr. to keep them competitive.
The RedHawks have established a new school record for wins and are currently the only remaining undefeated team in the nation.
