Men’s hoops realigns with Army blowout
The Miami RedHawks achieved something this weekend that Duke phenom Zion Williamson and the rest of his highly-touted Blue Devil teammates failed to do.
While Duke beat Army 94-72 at home on Nov. 11, Miami trounced the Black Knights by an even-greater 30 points (85-55) at Millett Hall on Saturday.
“Army was definitely a challenging team coming in,” head coach Jack Owens said. “Watching the Duke game, they [the Black Knights] played extremely well. They shot the ball well. This was definitely a game that we had to be up for.”
Owens’ RedHawks were up for it. The game was never close after they took a 9-7 lead just before the 16-minute mark and held control the rest of the way.
