The final undefeated team in NCAA<\/a> Division I men\u2019s basketball has fallen.<\/p>\n

Miami (Ohio) saw its perfect season end Thursday with an 87\u201383 loss to UMass in the RedHawks\u2019<\/a> Mid-American Conference tournament opener, a defeat that also dashed its hopes of securing an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.<\/p>\n

“We always go back to watch the film. We’ll break it down just like we always do. \u2026 [We’ll be] off tomorrow and back at it Saturday trying to figure out ways to get better,” head coach Travis Steele said via the team\u2019s website.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

“There’s still a lot of season left. Can we continue to improve? I think that’s what the great teams do.”<\/p>\n

Miami had a 69-58 lead with 8:11 remaining before UMass rallied with a 13-2 run. The loss came after Miami (Ohio) secured the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament after going 31-0 during the regular season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The RedHawks became just the fifth NCAA Division I program this century to go undefeated in the regular season and the first since Gonzaga<\/a> in 2020.<\/p>\n

With an automatic bid no longer on the table, Miami (Ohio) will have to wait until the brackets are unveiled Sunday night. The RedHawks can become the first MAC team to earn an at-large bid since 1999.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Our guys have earned the right, in my opinion, to play in the NCAA Tournament,” Steele added.<\/p>\n
