OXFORD, Ohio — Nobody would leave the Millett Hall court until the cops finally started making them. Mid-American Conference championship nets were cut, red-and-white confetti was sprayed into the air, and the fans spilled onto the floor to celebrate with their Miami RedHawks. Pictures were taken and items were autographed as little kids pantomimed jump shots.
This was the last home game, one of the closing chapters in the best ongoing story in college basketball. From the second-chance coach to the tightly bonded players to the fully invested administration and Miami community, everyone was squeezing as much as they could out of this perfect moment and perfect record.
