This time it came down to a missed fadeaway 3-pointer from Buffalo's Ryan Sabol to win 73-71 after the 24th-ranked Redhawks (23-0, 11-0 in MAC play) were unable to go up 5-points on a pair of missed free throws from Luke Skaljac, who finished with a team-high 19 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the field and five steals, four rebounds and three assists.

REQUIRED READING: How Miami Ohio became college basketball's most unlikely undefeated teamThe way Miami's game played out — a missed free throw and having the other team go short on a game-winning 3-point attempt — was its second close call in the last seven days, with the other being an 86-84 win over UMass on Tuesday, Jan. 27. It also marked the fourth single-digit win in the last five games for the Redhawks, with two of them coming against the Bulls. If that wasn't enough off the laundry list of game finishing stats, Sabol's missed 3-point attempt keeps Miami as one of the two remaining undefeated teams in men’s college basketball with Arizona. The Redhawks entered the week at No.
