USAF ACADEMY, Colo. – The Miami University men's basketball team (3-0) secured a 76-61 win over Air Force (0-4) at Clune Arena on Saturday afternoon.

Brant Byers totaled a game-high 18 points, while Evan Ipsaro (12) and Luke Skaljac (10) added double figures in scoring. Antwone Woolfolk led everyone on the floor with a career-high 13 rebounds and matched his career best with three blocks. Ipsaro led all players by matching the best assist total (seven) of his career, and Skaljac led the RedHawks in steals (two). Caleb Walker led the Falcons with 17 points.

How it Happened:

Miami jumped out to an 18-8 lead thanks to a flurry of triples from Eian Elmer, Byers, Skaljac and Almar Atlason. The Falcons responded by cutting the deficit to just four points at 18-14 with 11:02 remaining in the first half. A transition three from Peter Suder, a layup from Byers and a pass from Trey Perry for a Kyle Waltz shot from beyond the arc pushed Miami's advantage back to double-digits at 26-15.
A pair of tip-in layups from Suder and Woolfolk, as well as Byers' second three of the first half, kept the RedHawks in front 38-26. Suder knocked down a jump shot with six seconds left to send Miami into the intermission with a 40-26 lead. Atlason's second three of the day, as well as back-to-back shots from downtown by Byers, pushed Miami ahead 51-35 with 15:53 to play.
The Falcons answered with a 14-2 run to cut the Miami lead to 53-49. Woolfolk's timely steal that led to him scoring a transition layup and a triple from the top of the three-point line shortly after propelled Miami to a 10-0 scoring run at 63-49. Skaljac contributed a three and a mid-range jumper during the scoring run.
A shot from behind the arch, a push shot off the backboard and a step-back jump shot from Ipsaro gave Miami a comfortable lead at 74-56 with under two minutes to play. Skaljac knocked down a jumper with 14 seconds remaining to help finish off the Falcons and give the RedHawks a 76-61 victory.

The Red and White limited Air Force to just 5-of-18 (27.8%) from the three-point line.
