Box Score

OXFORD, Ohio– The Miami University men's basketball team placed seven players in double figures en route to a dominant 129-49 win over Trinity Christian Friday night. Kyle Waltz led the RedHawks (2-0) with 23 points, while Tyler Robbins contributed a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds. The game served as an exhibition for the visitors, who remain 1-1 on the year.

How it Happened:

Miami started with a quick 7-0 run after Almar Atlason buried a three-pointer and Peter Suder and Brant Byers followed with inside baskets. Atlason drilled his second triple of the game to force a TCC timeout at 12-2. A 14-3 burst later in the half, including 10 points from Waltz, pushed the score to 31-7.
Three-pointers by Eian Elmer, Robbins and Byers in a span of just over two minutes put the Red and White ahead 42-13 with eight minutes remaining in the period. A Trey Perry layup and a pair of buckets from Peter Suder capped a 15-0 run and gave the home team a 34-point cushion. Robbins added two late baskets and Evan Ipsaro got to the rim on back-to-back possessions to end the half and put Miami on top 59-22 at the break.
The RedHawks picked up where they left off after intermission with a four-point play from Atlason. A driving baseline dunk by Byers made it 73-26, and consecutive three-pointers by Waltz and Elmer expanded the lead to 82-30 at the under-12 media timeout.
A run of shots from behind the arc by Eli Yofan, Luke Skaljac, Ipsaro and Perry helped Miami reach the century mark at 100-36 with 8:50 to play. Perry continued to hit from downtown, knocking in back-to-back threes to make it 106-38.
A Robbins three-point play put Miami up 117-43 with under four minutes to go. Brady Ganley hit Miami's 21st and final three-pointer of the night to give the RedHawks a 126-49 advantage. Three free throws from Ethan Wright accounted for the last points of the game, giving Miami an 80-point win (the third-largest margin of victory in program history).
