Akron -4'
The Zips are coming off back to back road wins over CMU and Kent State. Since switching to a 2-3 matchup zone they are defending much much better. Also coach Hipsher has inserted freshman Rob Preston into the starting lineup. The reason for this move is to draw the opposing center away from the paint as Preston can drain 15-18 ft jumpers all day. This is what negated Kamans presence in the CMU game. The Zips have always rebounded poorly so this moves narrows the gap a bit.
Also a big factor in the Zips improved play is that Andy Hipsher is finally healthy and playing well, and Johnny Hollingsworth has found new life after a mid season funk.
Like the Zips to keep it going tonight against Marshall who blew Akron out in probably The Zips poorest game this season a short time ago.
