Men's Basketball: Millett Hall is in its 39th season as the home of RedHawk men's basketball. The 9,200-seat arena opened its doors on Dec. 2, 1968, when Miami played host to the University of
Kentucky, led by Adolph Rupp and Dan Issel. Miami, in front of 9,135 spectators, lost that game, 86-77, but gained its first victory with an 86-67 triumph over Bellarmine two days later. Over the last 38 years, Miami has compiled a 361-113 record at Millett Hall, a winning percentage of .762. Since the start of the 1993-94 season, the RedHawks are 139-31 (.818) at Millett.

A record 76,817 spectators played a key role in Miami's 12-0 1998-99 season. The RedHawks averaged a single-season best 6,401 fans. On Dec. 15, 1976, Miami set a Millett Hall attendance record hosting Cincinnati in front of a whopping 10,634 spectators. The 2004-05 season saw the RedHawks posting a 13-0 record during the regular season en route to the program's 21st Mid-American Conference title and recording a 13-1 home record, the most home wins in a season by a Miami team.
