Miami did not hit a field goal from 10:31 in the first half until Julian Mavunga's layup and ensuing free throw with 1:49 left in the first half. The RedHawks were scoreless from 9:38 off a pair of senior forward Julian Mavunga free throws until he hit a pair of free throws with 3:20 remaining in the first half.
