Ali Ali entered the transfer portal on Wednesday afternoon, a few weeks removed from leading the Zips to the 2022 NCAA Tournament.
Ali, a sophomore, lead the team in points per game, assists, three-point shooting percentage and minutes in 2022. He was the offensive spark on an Akron team that lead the league in points allowed during conference play.
Ali is a six-foot-eight athletic wing from East Noble High School in Kendallville, Indiana, and earned All-MAC second team this year.
Ali was a major contributor in each of his three seasons in Akron. As a freshman, he appeared in 31 games and started 11, started all 23 games in the COVID-affected ‘20-’21 season, and averaged 34 minutes a game in ’21-’22.
