Miami University’s men’s basketball team started slow but commandingly finished its home opener Friday afternoon against Muskingum University. The RedHawks beat the Fighting Muskies 84-57, with major contributions from guards freshman Michael Weathers and redshirt sophomore Jake Wright.
“In the first couple of timeouts it looked like we were dead,” head coach John Cooper said. “Guys, you know, were a little overanxious. There was a point in the late middle first half into the second half when we finally settled down and were able to execute and do a few things.”
