The Miami RedHawks endured a blowout defeat to end their season, but that shouldn’t define the year as a whole, head coach Jack Owens said.
With the 80-51 loss to the Akron Zips in the first round of the Mid-American Conference Tournament on March 11, the season didn’t finish where the RedHawks had hoped.
They won’t go to a postseason invitational tournament.
“We could’ve done those things, but we’re too banged up right now,” Owens said. “We have back issues from a couple guys. Obviously, if you’re going to the NCAA Tournament or the NIT (National Invitation Tournament), you’d do it.
