Yesterday’s Results for Ohio vs Akron

10* MAC TOTAL OF YEAR: 40-28 CBB Y-T-D!

Analysis: This is a 10* MAC TOY on the UNDER Ohio/Akron. These teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but in my opinion, everything finally points to much more of a defensive battle in Akron on Friday night. Just a great overall situational play here. Ohio is 10-6 this year and it's won six straight after an 86-71 victory over Ball State most recently. Ohio has seen the total go OVER the number in three straight, but that's significant to note here as the Bobcats have in fact seen the total go UNDER the number in four of their last five after playing to three or more straight OVERs in a row. Akron is 11-5 after four straight wins, most recently an 85-78 victory over Toledo. The Zips have also seen the total go OVER in three straight, but note that Akron has seen the total go UNDER eight of their last 12 after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row. When these teams played here last March, Akron held on for the 65-62 victory. I'm expecting a similar tight and competitive battle, but I also believe it'll be a lower-scoring UNDER once it's all said and done. Good luck, NP
