Ohio (9-9, 3-3) at Akron (14-4, 6-0) – 7:00 PM ET (ESPN+)
Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day heads to the Rubber Capital of the World where the hometown Akron Zips host the Ohio Bobcats. Akron continued their run of perfection on Friday in conference play with a 77-71 victory at Kent State; most of the game did feature Akron with a comfortable lead before Kent State made the final score a little more respectable. We also learned yesterday that Akron will travel to James Madison on February 10th for the second leg of the MAC-Sun Belt Challenge.
OU stumbled out of the gates in conference play with a 1-3 mark; their only win was against Northern Illinois at the time. The Bobcats have rebounded with back-to-back home wins against Central Michigan and Eastern Michigan. Aidan Hadaway led the Bobcats with 20 points in the win against EMU.
