It’s not the Miami you usually think about when it comes to college sports — but this Miami is making fans pay attention.
The No. 21 Miami (OH) Redhawks are doing something remarkable this season, sitting at 29-0 with three regular-season games to go.
Such a season has essentially come out of nowhere. The Redhawks finished last season 25-9, but prior to that, they finished below .500 in 14 of 15 seasons. And their one winning season in that span was a 12-11 campaign in 2020-21.
In other words, this is not a juggernaut of a basketball program.
Regardless, Miami is on fire this year. Can it go undefeated? Let’s take a look at the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of March 2.

Miami (OH) to finish regular season undefeated

No: +155 (bet $10 to win $25.50 total)
To be clear, the Redhawks’ schedule has not been one to write home about. They haven’t and will not face a ranked opponent this year.
Their remaining games are vs. Toledo (16-13) and at Ohio (15-14).
Miami already has wins this season over each of those teams.
Digging a little deeper into the numbers, the Redhawks are 19-7 against the spread (ATS) this season, 8-4 ATS at home and 10-3 ATS on the road.
Miami covered at Toledo on Jan. 9 as 1-point favorites (87-73 win), and covered at home against Ohio on Feb. 13 as 8-point favorites (90-74 win).
In Mike DeCourcy’s latest NCAA Tournament projections, Miami is an 8-seed in the East Region, where Duke is projected to be the 1-seed.
