. . . indicative of Hartford’s control through much of the contest, which pitted Hawks versus RedHawks. The former forged double digit leads that reached as high as 25 points in the second half before Miami (3-1) worked its deficit down to the final 10-point margin.
MU stayed with the Hawks early, getting its first 10 points from forward Logan McLane (6) and guard Dalonte Brown (4). McLane would go on to score a team-high 22 points (7 rebounds), while Brown finished at seven points (5 rebounds).
The RedHawks were up 8-5 when point guard Darrian Ringo drew a technical foul at 17:17. As he went to the Miami bench, momentum soon went to Hartford’s side. Jack Hobb’s hit a triple to break a 12-12 tie and UH took the lead for good.
Miami trailed just 21-19 after a McLane three at 10:38, but the Hawks outscored MU 14-1 over the next several minutes to establish a 14-point advantage at the 6:39 mark.
It was a 16-point lead (44-28) at the break. By that time, Hartford already had three players in double figures. Point guard J.R. Lynch led the way with 15 points, including 3 of 5 from long distance. Forwards John Carroll and Jack Hobbs owned 12 and 10 points, respectively.
Overall, UH connected on 53.6 percent from the floor. The Hawks were 6 of 16 (37.5%) on trey attempts and a perfect 8 of 8 from the line.
Miami hit 42.3 percent (11 of 26) from the floor overall, but was just 2 of 9 (22.9%) on 3-point attempts. Both figures would get worse in the second half, despite the return of Ringo to start the final period.
Hartford continued to pull away, reaching a 25-point bulge (65-40) with 6:38 remaining. Miami outscored UH 18-3 the rest of the way, but could only close within 10.
The RedHawks hit 38.3 percent (23 of 60) from the field on the evening. However, they launched 30 threes – most while trying to get back into the game -- and only made five (16.7%).
