YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) Brant Byers scored 16 points and Antwone Woolfolk added 14 as No. 21 Miami of Ohio beat Eastern Michigan Eagles 74-64 on Tuesday night to remain the only undefeated team in Division I men’s basketball.

Peter Suder had 13 points and 10 rebounds for the RedHawks (28-0, 15-0 Mid-American Conference), who extended the best start in program history and added to their school record for wins in a season. Miami also boasts the best start and longest win streak in MAC annals.

Gregory Lawson II led the Eagles (10-19, 4-12) with 29 points, his career high.

Miami opened 0 for 6 on 3-pointers until Eian Elmer connected with 8:58 left in the first half. Despite shooting 22.2% from long range, the RedHawks took a 43-22 lead into halftime after closing the period the same way they started it: with a 12-0 run.

Miami entered shooting 40.3% from 3-point distance, good for third in the nation and best in the MAC.

Eastern Michigan went just 2 of 12 from beyond the arc in the first half. But in the second period, Lawson was 5 for 9 on 3s while pouring in 24 points to help the Eagles trim their deficit to single digits.

After beginning the second half on a 5-0 run, the RedHawks were outscored 30-11 over the next 13 minutes and led just 59-52 at the 5:36 mark. Miami shot 1 for 10 on 3s in the second period, allowing the Eagles to close in.

Miami University visits Western Michigan on Friday night.

Eastern Michigan plays at Buffalo next Tuesday.
