Akron Zips vs. Miami RedHawks men's basketball preview: Zips look to get back on winning track against Miami

Akron is looking to move to 11-4 in the MAC on the season as they face the RedHawks of Miami in Oxford on Tuesday night. The Zips opened the season with only two losses through non-conference play, defeating Arkansas on the road and Iona while losing to number one team in the nation Villanova by double digits. Once MAC conference play opened they opened up with two wins vs. Buffalo and Western Michigan. However they followed that up with two losses to MAC West schools Central Michigan and Toledo both on the road. At that point they were 2-2 in conference play and had four losses overall - it was early but the Zips didn't look like themselves of old.
