The Miami (Ohio) RedHawks, currently undefeated at 22-0, are turning heads with their dominant run in college basketball. Beyond their impressive record, the team's success is fueled by a range of superstitions. From lucky socks and shirts to pre-game candy rituals, the RedHawks have embraced unique traditions as they chase a perfect season and a spot in the NCAA tournament.

Senior guard Peter Suder religiously wears the same game socks. Brant Byers, MAC Freshman of the Year, must consume a bag of candy before tip-off. Junior guard Eian Elmer, on the other hand, discards shoes after a bad performance. Coach Travis Steele also has his own rituals, wearing lucky shirts. These habits reflect the team's strong bond and focus on the road ahead.

The RedHawks, ranked No. 23, lead the nation in scoring and field goal percentage. After a close loss in last year's MAC tournament final, they returned key players, fostering a strong team dynamic. This year, they're aiming for their first NCAA tournament appearance since 2007. A loss could jeopardize their chance at an at-large bid.

With increased fan interest, the pressure is on. Miami's next game is against Buffalo, who nearly ended their streak in overtime. The team's ability to maintain focus and use their connectedness will be key. Winning the MAC tournament is the ultimate goal, but the RedHawks are taking it one game at a time.
