WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) - Despite an 11-point, 14-rebound double-double from freshman forward Danny Horace, Miami University's men's basketball team fell at UNC Wilmington, 50-42.
Brett Blizzard led the Seahawks with a game-best 23 points, while Craig Callahan added 12 points and seven rebounds for UNC Wilmington (1-1).
In addition to Horace's double-double, in which he was 5-for-17 shooting, Doug Davis tossed in nine points for the RedHawks, who fall to 0-1. Davis hit just 4 of 17 shots before fouling out with 35 seconds left. Within the first minute of the second half Alex Shorts fouled out of the contest leaving the RedHawks without the services of their top returning scorer.
Miami shot 27 percent for the game, going 17 for 63 from the field and 4 for 14 from three-point range.
UNC Wilmington made 15 of 44 shots for 34 percent.
The difference in the game may have been free throws, with the Seahawks making 17 of 25, while Miami got to the line just nine times and made only four of its attempts.
Miami outrebounded UNC Wilmington 50 to 34, including 25 offensive rebounds to eight for the Seahawks.
The RedHawks return to action on Monday, Nov. 19, hosting George Mason at 7 p.m.
