Coach Steele pushed over the Western Michigan DJ's speaker and damaged it during the recent game. He has since been fined and apologized.

Nice piece from Matt Brown who FOIA'd Miami and other programs to detail a list of teams they TRIED to schedule but either got no response or a rejection.

Here is a list of everybody Miami (OH) TRIED to schedule in men's basketball this season

Don't blame the Redhawks for not having enough big names on their schedule. They tried to add plenty of them...and I've got the proof.

So they tried, but obviously they failed. While they made some effort, I think it looks like they waited too long to do it. It appears many of the teams they emailed cold did not need a guarantee game, and in fact several of them responded and indicated that they did not have scheduling vacancies (OSU is in that group). Pitt maybe made the worst choice, saying they needed a game and choosing Hofstra (who they lost to).

I think there is probably some truth to the A10 coaches claim that power programs are avoiding scheduling mid major teams OOC that may be capable of stealing bids. They either schedule the mid majors that are already likely going to make the tourney anyway or low majors who would never have any shot at an auto bid. Problem is the MAC is more on the higher end of the "low major" category so this doesn't really apply to a Miami Ohio type team.

No one wants to lose, but I don't think there's any truth to the idea that power conference programs were ducking Miami because they thought they could lose. More likely is teams didnt see any reason to pick Miami over any other team, and the annual increase in the quantity of low major teams means it's going to be slightly harder for each one to get games. The A10 doesn't want to do buy games as much as the MAC, so schools aren't going to think of going to the A10 first when they need a game.
