The Akron Zips will be on the road to take on the Toledo Rockets on Friday, January 28th.
The tip-off is set for 7:00 ET from Savage Arena.
The Rockets started off as a 9 point favorite and that number is now down to 8. The total has gone from 139.5 to 140.5.
Akron Zips
Overall, I would say that Akron has played pretty well so far this season. They may not quite be the best team in their conference, but they are not far off, either.
The Zips took care of the Central Michigan Chippewas on Tuesday by a score of 60-56. Needless to say, they will be in for a much bigger challenge on Friday when they hit the road to take on the Rockets.
Yes, the end result is what they wanted in their last game, but they could not have been happy that the final score was that close. When you are playing a team that is as bad as that, it would be nice to see you beat them by more than four points.
Offensively, I would not say they played great, but they did play well on the defensive side of the floor. When you keep a team to that few of points, there is a good chance that you get the win.
Toledo Rockets
So far, Toledo has had a nice season. I have really liked the style of play that this team has displayed throughout the course of the season.
The Rockets currently have an impressive record of 16-4. I get that they do not play the best teams that college basketball has to offer, but it is hard to be all that critical of that record, especially when it is not a small sample.
This squad beat the Buffalo Bulls on Tuesday by a score of 86-75. A strong second half if what sparked this team to victory.
Ryan Rollins was Toledo’s leading scorer in their last win with 25 points and 11 rebounds. Both JT Shumate and Setric Millner Jr. had 13 points in the contest.

Free Akron Zips vs. Toledo Rockets NCAAB Summary:
Akron would be able to make a pretty big statement if they were able to go on the road and get this win. They will have to put forth a stronger effort than they did in their game against Central Michigan, though.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Toledo ATS
Toledo currently has a 7 game winning streak on the line. They should be able to make it 8 games in a row, but there are definitely no guarantees in this one.
I can see this game being close for a bit, but I just feel that as it goes on, the Rockets will be too much for the Zips to handle. They are the better team and I think their offense will be able to lead them to this cover.
It does seem like a heavy number to lay in a conference game like this, but I like it here.
I like Toledo at -8 here.
