Akron (15-3, 5-0 Mid-American) now has a two-game lead over Ohio (11-5, 3-2) in the MAC Eastern Division. The Bobcats have lost back-to-back games since Campbell – Ohio’s leading scorer and rebounder on the season – sprained his right foot against Eastern Michigan last Saturday. Tuesday night, Akron had four players score in double figures, and shot 55 percent from the field including 47 percent (9 of 19) from three-point range.
