Miami (Ohio) 79, Ohio 67
Julian Mavunga scored 18 points and Antonio Ballard recorded a double-double, helping Miami of Ohio coach Charlie Coles set a new Mid-American Conference career wins record with a 79-67 victory over Ohio on Saturday.
It was Coles' 195th win, propelling him into first place on the all-time MAC wins list. Coles, in his 14th season leading Miami, became the all-time leader in victories for the RedHawks in a 67-60 win over Bowling Green on Jan. 2, 2009.

Miami was down eight at the break, but used a 17-0 spurt coming out of halftime to run away with the game.
D.J. Cooper scored 22 points to lead the Bobcats (9-8, 0-3), who are on a three-game skid since opening MAC play.
