Akron is on a roll. Northern Illinois is not. Can the Huskies better their fortunes Saturday in a home game against the Zips?
Where: DeKalb, Illinois Convocation Center
When: Saturday, 4:30 (EST)
Just a few weeks ago, it was thought that the home team in this game was the best that the conference had to offer. No longer. It's plainly evident that Akron is best built to get the one-seed and play the best ball going into the Mid-American Conference tournament.
The Zips are coming off a cakewalk 83-68 win over the Bowling Green Falcons.
