Miami Notes

SATURDAY: Miami hits the road for the first time this Saturday, Nov. 15 at 2 p.m. ET against the Air Force Falcons.

ABOUT AIR FORCE: Air Force is currently 0-3, as the Falcons have dropped their first three games to Belmont (63-79), Austin Peay (54-74) and LIU (72-76). Air Force went 4-28 and 1-19 in conference play last year. Head coach Joe Scott enters year six in his second stint as the head coach of Air Force (10th season overall with the Falcons). Heading into the 2025-26 season, Air Force was selected to finish 12th overall in the Mountain West Conference Men's Basketball Preseason Poll.

Offensively, freshman guard Kam Sanders leads the team with 14.7 points per game and 3.0 assists per game. Sophomore forward Eli Robinson leads the team in rebounds (8.0/game) and steals (2.33/game). Robinson, Josh Gatete and Kolby Gilles have recorded the most blocks on the team (0.67/game).

THE SERIES WITH THE FALCONS: This Saturday will mark just the second time that Miami will face off against Air Force. Last season the RedHawks topped Air Force 73-60 on Dec. 2, 2024. Peter Suder led all players with a career-high 42 points (17-of-21 from the field), the most from a RedHawk since Wally Szczerbiak scored 43 in 1999.

UP NEXT: Miami returns home to host Mercyhurst on Thursday, Nov. 20 at 7 p.m.

LAST TIME OUT: The Miami University men's basketball team placed seven players in double figures en route to a dominant 129-49 win over Trinity Christian last Friday. Kyle Waltz led the RedHawks with 23 points, while Tyler Robbins contributed a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds. Miami shot 43-of-63 (68.3%) from the field, knocked down 21-of-30 (70%) shots from the three-point line and went 22-of-29 (75.9%) from the free-throw line. The RedHawks outrebounded the Trolls 51 to 29. With this 80-point victory, Miami posted its second-highest scoring total in program history.

COLLEGE INSIDER PRESEASON MID-MAJOR TOP 25: The Miami University men's basketball team improved its ranking to No. 7 overall on the Mid-Major Top 25® Poll, as announced by Collegeinsider on Monday evening. The RedHawks improved their ranking after opening the season 2-0, with victories over Old Dominion (87-72) and Trinity Christian (129-49).

LEAVING THEIR MARK: 11 different RedHawks made at least one three-pointer against the Trinity Christian Trolls to total 21 on the evening, the RedHawks' third-best shooting performance all-time in Miami program history. Miami also shot a blistering 70% from the three-point line (tied for the fifth-highest percentage in Miami history) and finished the game shooting 68.3% from the floor (third-highest percentage in Miami history).

HOME COURT ADVANTAGE: With this past Tuesday's win over Trinity Christian, the Red and White extended its home win streak to 17 games. The RedHawks are looking to snap a Miami record of 23 straight home wins (1996-1998). Last season, the Red and White set a new record of 15 consecutive home wins over the course of one season.

REDHAWK REWIND WITH PETER SUDER: Senior guard Peter Suder joins RedHawk Rewind to talk about the Miami University men's basketball team's 2-0 start to the season, an upcoming rematch with Air Force after his 42-point outburst against the Falcons last year, what drew him to the RedHawks' program after entering the transfer portal in 2024, where his 'stat sheet stuffer' approach to playing the game came from, and much more.

THE ALMAR ATLASON STORY: The junior sharpshooter from Reykjavik, Iceland joined the RedHawks' program this year via transfer from Bradley University, and the newcomer's skill level is already showing up all over the court. Atlason played in 71 games for the Braves over the past two years, helping Bradley to an impressive 51-21 record over that span, which included a pair of trips to the NIT. He made six three-pointers in a game on two different occasions, including pouring in a career-high 28 points off the bench against Belmont in February 2025. As a rookie, he shot 41% from behind the arc in the 2023-24 campaign and was named to the All-MVC Freshman Team that season. To learn more about his story, click here!
