vs. Miami (Ohio), 8, Pauley Pavilion, ESPNU -- Miami defeated Weber State, 70-66, Wednesday afternoon at Pauley in the first game of the Los Angeles regional of the 2K Sports Classic. The RedHawks won in the final seconds when guard Kenny Hayes made a three-point shot and was fouled. Hayes led his team with 24 points and was seven for seven from the three-point line. Forwards Michael Bramos and Tyler Dierkers had 13 each. Miami has four senior starters back from a team that went 17-16 last season, 9-7 in the Mid-American Conference.
