Duvivier's jumper gave the Zips an early 19-6 lead, but Brown hit two 3s in a 20-5 run that was capped by McLane's jumper and the RedHawks grabbed their first lead at 26-24 with seven minutes left in the half. Ringo hit two free throws and a 3-pointer in the final 66 seconds to give Miami a 41-31 halftime lead. Akron got no closer than seven after intermission.
