At home this season the Zips are averaging 74.3 points per game while the defense is giving up 63.2 points. 

Akron is led by guard Loren Cristian Jackson who is averaging 20.2 points while shooting 46.9 points per game. Each of the last two games Jackson has dropped 35 points and he will be looking to have another big game in this one. 

The under is 7-2 in Ohio’s last nine games overall. Akron is 8-3 against the spread in their last 11 games played on Tuesday. The under is 41-19 in Akron’s last 60 games against conference opponents. 

The under is 70-33-1 in Akron’s last 104 home games. The home team is 9-3 against the spread in the last 12 meetings between Akron and Ohio.
