This is another DH just like last Saturday with free tickets available ( See MuRedHawks.com ). This is the Annual Love and Honor DH promoting and raising money for Cancer research, with the usual auction of all kinds of Oxford area and Miami sports trips, tickets, paraphernalia, etc. We also will have the Piston’s dunk team performing at half time of the Men’s game and of course Carnival on the Concourse for the kids. Everybody had a good time last week and we won two games, let’s do it again!
Miami is 7-17 ( 4-9). We are 4-6 at home. EMU is 6-18 ( 2-11). They have lost 9 games in a row, their last win was against us 53-48 in Ypsilante. Most of their losses were close. They have won 6 straight against Miami. Their best players are two athletic, strong post players and that gave us trouble scoring inside, which we rely on.
EMU features 6-2 JR Tyra Eke, from Spain, who leads the MAC in blocked shots and averages 10/7.1. She gave us fits last time. They also feature former Miami commit ( never came when Duffy left) GS Kennedi Myles who has had 9 double doubles this year and averages 8.1/9.0. 5.5 SOPH Olivia Smith leads the team with 37 threes. The Eagles are coached by interim head coach Ke’Sha Blanton, who was an assistant for Coach Duffy at Miami for 2 seasons.
For Miami, Jaydyn Scott has scored 55 points in the last 3 games, Amber Tretter has averaged 14.6/12.1 over the last 6 games. Point guard Cori Lard, a JR, leads the team in assists, is 2nd in the MAC in steals, and has scored double digits 6 straight games. SR Hennessey Luu-Brown leads the team by hitting 37% of her threes. We need this win to keep our MAC tourney hopes alive.
