Travis Steele's Miami RedHawks improved to 24-0 this season with a 16-point win at Marshall.
The 24-0 Miami University RedHawks are ranked No. 23 in the latest AP Top 25 men's college basketball poll released Feb. 9. The RedHawks also were ranked 23rd last week.
The RedHawks received 195 votes in the new poll. MU defeated Marshall, 90-74, on Feb. 8.
The RedHawks are 11-0 in Mid-American Conference play this season. They are scheduled to play Ohio next at Millett Hall on Feb. 13 at 9 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.
MU is one of two undefeated Div. I men's basketball teams in the country, along with No. 1 Arizona. The Wildcats cruised past Oklahoma State, 84-47, to improve to 23-0.
Last week, University of Wisconsin–Green Bay men's basketball head coach Doug Gottlieb took a shot at the RedHawks' schedule, and suggested that he would like his team's chances in a head-to-head meeting with Miami despite the Phoenix's 12-12 record this season.
During the Jan. 30 broadcast of Akron's win against Kent State, CBS Sports college basketball analyst and former Xavier Musketeers head coach Pete Gillen said the RedHawks' NET strength of schedule "is gonna really hurt them."
