Ark L R +10'
Thinking here is that the Zips are getting just a bit too much love with this number. I have been to a couple of practices and the exhibition game vs Hillsdale( who just gave #17 Marquette fits before falling friday night) and came away with mixed feelings about the Zips.
I still think that Akron will have some trouble with teams that can hit the boards and Ark LR can clean some glass with Jones-Jennings who just happens to be the nations leading returning rebounder from last season. Travis can't handle him without some help and I'm having concerns that Wood will never be the same player he was returning from a horrible knee injury nearly 2 years ago vs. Ohio U at the jar. Freshman Chris McKnight has looked very good, and he will need to make significant contributions early in his career for the Zips to handle their own inside.
Akron does have 3 very talented guards and will enjoy a large advantage in the back court in this tilt and almost every game they will play this year, but it may not be enough to dominate if Ark L R controls the boards.
I think the Zips win it, but not without a fight
