OXFORD, Ohio (AP) - Juby Johnson scored 21 points to lead Miami University to a 69-49 victory over Marshall on Saturday.
Danny Horace added 14 for Miami (10-11, 8-4 MAC). Ronald Blackshear had 13 for Marshall (11-11, 7-7).
Both teams shot 43 percent from the field, and were equally accurate at the line, Marshall converting 13-of-16 free throws and Miami 14-of-18.
But Miami had a 35-22 edge in rebounds, and was 9-of-22 from beyond the arc, while Marshall was 2-of-14.
A 3-pointer by Josh Hausfeld put Miami ahead for good at 9-6, just 3? minutes into the game, and Marshall was never able to challenge. The RedHawks led 36-23 at halftime, and maintained a double-digit lead the rest of the way.
