Like Miami, Colorado College has fattened up on non-conference competition and struggled in conference play. The Tigers are 6-2 in non-league games but is off to a 2-5-1 start in the NCHC. With just seven conference points, CC is eighth in the league, two ahead of last-place Miami. The RedHawks haven't beaten Colorado College since … Continue reading Preview: Colorado College at Miami

Preview: St. Cloud State at Miami
St. Cloud State dominated Miami last season, winning all four meetings by an aggregate score of 23-8.

Preview: Miami at W. Michigan
While Miami has largely worked through its 'hasn't won since...' checklist thanks to a hot start, still prominent on that sheet is: Last-time conference road win, which has eluded the RedHawks for over 2 1/2 years. And the RedHawks -- who led the all-time series against Western Michigan until the past few years -- have … Continue reading Preview: Miami at W. Michigan

Preview: Miami at RPI
Miami lost a pair of poignant games to RPI in Oxford last December, but overall the RedHawks' track record vs. the Engineers is excellent, especially in Troy.

This is the fifth straight year … Continue reading Preview: Ferris State at Miami
Preview: W. Michigan at Miami
From a conference standings perspective, this series is meaningless. Western Michigan has already clinched the Penrose Cup, awarded to the league's regular season champion, and Miami is locked into last place in the NCHC. But the Broncos are still ranked fifth in the PairWise and are gunning for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA … Continue reading Preview: W. Michigan at Miami
Preview: Miami at Minn.-Duluth
Miami was crushed by Minn.-Duluth when the Bulldogs visited Oxford in mid-November, outscoring the RedHawks, 12-2.

Preview: Arizona State at Miami
Not surprisingly, Greg Powers' first season in the NCHC has been a major success. The Arizona State coach has headed a program that's over 1,000 miles clear of 90 percent of the Division I landscape as an independent since its inception 10 years ago. But despite all the pylons Arizona State has evaded, including the … Continue reading Preview: Arizona State at Miami

North … Continue reading Preview: North Dakota at Miami
