The Akron Zips have stood atop the MAC throughout the regular season, but the Zips haven't been quite as consistently dominant as you'd expect from a squad that currently stands 22-6 overall and 12-3 in conference. Akron has the better record yet they are the 2 pt dog on the road tonight.
Buffalo is 4-1 their last 5 at home and getting a balanced attack on offense.



The Akron Zips simply haven't been as strong as of late and perhaps this group is just getting a bit worn down as we head into the final stretch of the regular season.

The Buffalo Bulls had been the hottest team in the MAC winning 6 straight, but the Bulls had their winning streak snapped the other day at home as the Bulls fell to Kent State by a final of 69-77. Buffalo has shown progress throughout the regular season and the Bulls have the tools to make a run in the MAC tournament as this group currently stands 15-13 overall and 9-6 in conference.
. Forward Blake Hamilton has stepped up leading the squad averaging 17.4 points and 4.1 assists per game.

Buffalo was nearly able to beat Akron on the road about a month ago, falling to the Zips by just 1 points, and this is now a great chance for the Bulls to exact some revenge. Akron has been slipping as of late and this won't be the easiest matchup to start to turn things back around. I like Buffalo at home on Friday night.
