The <b>RedHawks forced Western Michigan into difficulty<\/b> with their aggressive ball pressure. <b>Miami shot 50% from the field<\/b>, demonstrating precision execution on both ends of the floor.<\/p>\n<p>The second half told the story of Miami&#8217;s growing confidence. <b>The RedHawks held Western Michigan<\/b> to just 41 points after the break, showcasing their defensive versatility.

Beyond Atlason&#8217;s 21 points, other contributors stepped up when needed. The <b>RedHawks averaged 93.7 points per game<\/b> this season while shooting <b>53.6% from the field<\/b> overall.
