Miami, FL
Despite so many early turnovers, Michigan basketball rolls over Miami (Ohio), 94-67
Slowly but surely, Michigan basketball’s identity appears to be taking shape, both for better and worse.
The good news: The Wolverines remain efficient shooting the ball. Michigan generated a number of clean looks as it made 58.3% of its attempts from the floor (35 of 60), including 48.3% (14-for-29) on 3-pointers, and all but four of its points came in the paint, beyond the arc or at the free throw line.
The bad news: The Wolverines’ general sloppiness doesn’t, at this point, seem like a one-off occurrence. U-M once again had double-digit turnovers less than 15 minutes in, turned it over a dozen times by the break and finished with 18.
That may matter some day but it didn’t against the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks, as Dusty May’s Wolverines ran away with a 94-67 win.
Though the game finished as a double-digit affair, it was far from it for some time. The Wolverines trailed by three with less than five minutes left in the first half before they made their final five shots — two dunks, two layups and a 3-pointer — before the intermission, as part of a closing 17-6 spurt.
Out of the break, the Wolverines poured it on. In the first two minutes, Roddy Gayle Jr. found Nimari Burnett for a transition basket, followed by, on the next possession, Burnett finding Gayle on the run for a corner 3; U-M started on an 8-0 run to go up by 16.
Four Wolverines scored in double figures, led by Burnett with 18, Tre Donaldson with 16, L.J. Cason with 11 and Gayle with 10, while Danny Wolf just missed a double double, with nine points and nine rebounds.
The Wolverines are back in action on Thursday at home against Tarleton State.
Hockey-style change creates spark
Michigan’s start was about as sloppy as can be.
After Vlad Goldin missed an opening layup, U-M allowed an offensive rebound and 3-pointer before Wolf then committed a turnover on the other end. After yet another Wolf turnover, Goldin and Burnett had back-to-back turnovers. Each led to runouts and layups, as Miami took a quick 7-5 lead.
May, upset by the sloppy start, opted for a hockey-style line change, pulling all five starters at once. U-M responded with a Will Tschetter turnover on its first possession, the team’s fifth in less than four minutes.
Every time Michigan looked like it was going to start pulling away, such as after its 7-0 run after Cason hit a layup and pair of free throws and Sam Walters hit a transition 3, the RedHawks responded and remained within a possession.
U-M led 15-9 and held Miami to a 4-for-14 start from the floor (1-for-6 from 3) shortly before the RedHawks got hot. Michigan’s lead got up to 20-14 before Miami hit seven of its next nine attempts from the floor, which included making five of seven 3s.
Kam Craft and Eian Elmer hit back-to-back long balls before a Craft bucket gave the Redhawks the lead, and then a Walters handoff to Wolf was stripped to make it 27-24. But U-M closed the half with five straight field goals and ended the first 20 minutes shooting 59.3% (16-for-27) from the floor and 42.9% (6-for-14) on 3s.
Pick up where they left off
While Michigan opened the second with eight points, its defense tightened and forced Miami to miss its first eight shots of the half.
When Travis Steele’s group scored its first second-half point — hitting one of three free throws 4:09 into the frame — it did little to slow U-M’s momentum, with Donaldson adding a pair of transition layups. The Redhawks finally broke through from the floor with a Peter Suder three-point play and 3-pointer sandwiched around a Cason 3, but it was too much Michigan.
In all, Michigan went on a 43-18 run in 13:29 of action after falling behind by three in the first half.
Michigan dominated the boards 44-23, boosting the rout. Likewise, U-M won the second-chance points battle (11-8), was tops in fastbreak points (18-11), had more bench points (33-24) and even tied on points off turnovers (14-all) despite committing five more turnovers than the RedHawks.
The Cleveland Browns traded for an extended right tackle, former Houston Texan Tytus Howard, at the start of free agency as they began their rebuild of the offensive line that was awful in 2025. But Howard has played every position on the offensive line except for center, so if it’s all about getting your best five on the field, which it should be, there’s a chance Howard doesn’t play at right tackle in 2026.
While doing a mock draft on Peter Schrager’s podcast, former Tennessee Titans general manager Ran Carthon had the Browns drafting Miami (FL) right tackle sixth overall. He talked about the issue with Howard, but said Mauigoa could either take over the tackle spot or be a really good guard.
Carthon said he knows that Mauigoa would be one of their best five, whether it is at guard or tackle. Some will say that a guy who may be best at guard isn’t worth the sixth overall pick, and I have to disagree. You should draft the best football players, and Francis Mauigoa is my highest-rated offensive lineman and seventh overall. It might be at guard, but I have a good feeling that Mauigoa will find a home in the NFL as a high-quality offensive lineman.
Inventory of homes and condos across the coastal Miami mainland and Miami Beach and the barrier island markets fell in the first quarter, marking the first big inventory drops since 2023.
The Corcoran Group’s first quarter reports don’t cover all of Miami-Dade County, but they offer insight into how the coastal markets, which have a higher share of luxury properties, are performing.
In Miami Beach, Sunny Isles Beach, Bal Harbour, Bay Harbor Islands, Surfside, Miami Beach, Fisher Island and Key Biscayne, single-family home inventory dropped 15 percent annually to 398 listings, and condo inventory was down 13 percent to 3,919 listings.
On Miami’s coastal mainland markets, which include Aventura, Miami Shores, Upper East Side, Edgewater, downtown Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables and Coconut Grove, inventory slipped 4 percent to 4,584 condo listings and 555 single-family listings, down 6 percent year-over-year.
Here’s a closer look at the market:
Miami Beach and the barrier islands
Single-family sales rose 13 percent year-over-year to 85 closings, the first time they have increased since the second quarter of 2024. Condo closings rose 15 percent to 693 closings, the first increase since the last quarter of 2024.
Pricing dropped, with the median price of single-family homes down 4 percent to $3.5 million and the median condo price down 9 percent to $640,000. The average price per square foot was nearly flat at $1,119.
Still, buyers set records with their purchases. Billionaire Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg paid $170 million for the waterfront mansion at 7 Indian Creek Island Road, and Starbucks billionaire Howard Schultz paid $44 million, or $7,949 per square foot, for a penthouse at the Four Seasons Residences at The Surf Club.
Coastal mainland
Sales of single-family homes on the coastal mainland rose 16 percent to 220 closings. While markets like Coral Gables experienced declines in condo and single-family home sales, Coconut Grove home sales surged — up over 100 percent for single-family homes to 47 closings and up 55 percent to 87 condo closings. Condo sales rose 13 percent to 759 closings.
The median price of single-family homes across the coastal mainland rose 11 percent to just over $2 million. The median price of condos increased slightly, up 1 percent, to $602,000.
The priciest deals in the first quarter were the $32 million trade of 12 Tahiti Beach Island Road in Coral Gables, and the $19.8 million sale of a penthouse at Vita at Grove Isle.
