Akron played Miami once last year and in the prior year. Akron also play Ohio once this year, and they are more of a basketball rival than Miami. Has nothing to do with NIU.

Excellent write up from ZippedUp. "Pesky MAC West squads". 😀
Unfortunately, the MAC is a guards' league. Like football is a QB conference.
Looking for Sharron to keep that ankle rested today with the big week ahead.
Agree with everyone else. Two home games in a row with garbage endings. I swear with less than 3 minutes left the away basket expands and every junk 3 goes through the hoop.
Fun Fact: Ball State only lost by 9 to Miami. Albeit, at home.

Akron has tormented us since about 2005. I think we are 5-37 in our last 42? For the love of Andy Anderson, just beat them. As always, they will be an excellent team.
