No. 21 Miami (OH) rallied from a halftime deficit and a nine-point second-half deficit to defeat Western Michigan 69-67 after coach Travis Steele received a technical foul for an outburst before intermission.

Miami head coach Travis Steele was assessed a technical foul before halftime after sending a speaker flying during an outburst. The RedHawks (29-0, 16-0 MAC) trailed at the half for the sixth time this season and fell behind by nine points with 6:38 remaining before mounting their comeback.

The victory keeps Miami as the lone unbeaten team in Division I men's college basketball, while Western Michigan (10-19, 4-12) dropped their third straight contest.
