After sweeping the Western Michigan Broncos (6-8, 0-1 MAC) in the 2014-2015 regular season, the Akron Zips (12-2, 1-0 MAC) met up with the Broncos in the second round of the MAC tournament to play for a trip to the quarterfinals. It became the second of Akron's three wins in the tournament, sending the defending champs home very early.
Just about every time Akron and Western Michigan meet up, it turns out to be a good game. Since 2008, they've met up in five MAC tournament games, with the only WMU victory sending them to the 2014 MAC finals.
