The UNC Asheville Bulldogs will take on the undefeated Miami RedHawks in an exciting NCAA basketball matchup on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, at Kimmel Arena in Asheville, NC. The game is set to be broadcast on ESPN+.
Miami enters the contest with an impressive record of 8-0, having just cruised to a dominant victory against Maine by a score of 93-61. The RedHawks showcased their offensive firepower, achieving a shooting percentage of 50.7% from the field and making 43.8% of their three-point attempts. They excelled from the free-throw line as well, converting 11 of 13 for an 84.6% success rate. Their prolific scoring and solid defensive play led to an overwhelming win, with notable contributions from Evan Ipsaro, who scored 24 points on 69.2% shooting.

They are also effective on the boards, averaging 40.1 rebounds per game, and have shown defensive strength, forcing 15.5 turnovers while holding their opponents to an average of 66.8 points per game.
On the other hand, the Bulldogs are looking to turn their season around after a challenging recent loss to North Carolina State, where they fell 75-63. UNC Asheville, currently at 4-5 for the season, struggled offensively in that match, shooting just 37% from the field. Kameron Taylor stood out for the Bulldogs, scoring 20 points, but the team will need to improve their shooting efficiency and tighten up defensively to compete with a team like Miami.
