YTD : 23-12
Mount St Marys vs Akron (-14)
Its not often I like the prospect of laying double digits with the Zips, but this appears to be the proper situation to do so. The reasoning is fairly simple: when the Zips are beaten up on the boards and give up points in the paint, as they did with Cal and Louisville, they get crushed. Mt St Marys presents no apparent danger of dominating inside at all coming into this game with a rebounding differential of nearly minus ten boards a game. Simply stated, When not dominated inside Akron excels.
The Zips offense has really picked up the slack and their shooting and execution has been very good in their last few games. They are fresh and ready and Romeo Travis should be the dominant male on the floor. I expect a solid 20 point victory Monday.
Akron -14
