Coles sees a dark-horse team in MAC tourney
By Pete Conrad
Miami University basketball coach Charlie Coles is not assuming that his RedHawks, should they beat Buffalo in the quarterfinals of the Mid-American Conference Tournament on Thursday, March 11, would play top-seeded Kent State in the semifinals the following night.
The Miami-Buffalo winner will take on the Kent State-Ohio winner.
“Ohio U., I’ve said all along, is the most improved team in the league,” Coles said. “They’re a really good offensive ballclub.”
Although the Bobcats have been an up-and-down team, they scored 85 or more points eight times times this season, and they’re the only team since Jan. 9 to score 70 points against the RedHawks (Ohio’s 70-68 win in Athens on Feb. 24).
“I still think at this point Kent and Akron are huge favorites,” Coles said.
And his own team?
“We’re just trying to win one game,” he said. “We win one game, we’ll see what happens.”
