00:00Let's get over to the Mac. Akron's going to take on Kent State tonight, Joe. Akron, the road team, but
00:04favored at minus four and a half at most outlets here, but a total of 164 and a half, which
00:08means we want to get points. Why? Akron is fast. Akron loves to shoot the three-point shot. But, Joe,
00:13Akron is also the most efficient defense in conference play in the Mac. What's that spread line tonight? Akron on
00:18the road taking on Kent State.
00:19And Akron is right behind, of course, Miami of Ohio in the Mac, right? They're the second-best team in
00:27that conference. But the thing about this game, Donnie, for those that don't follow the Mac, don't understand what's going
00:34on, this is, without a doubt, one of the, if not the best regional rivalries in the sport. These two
00:42schools hate one another.
00:44In fact, they played three weeks ago, Donnie, and guess what? They couldn't even get to the tip-off before
00:50guys started pushing and shoving each other and guys in the stands were going at it. This is absolutely one
00:57of the best rivalries in all of sports.
01:00But Akron has the upper hand in the last couple of meetings. They've won seven of nine, I believe. But
01:07my goodness, they haven't allowed Kent State to score more than 72 points since March of 2023.
01:14So do not be shocked if hard fouls and some great defense has played in this one. But Akron, boy,
01:21they're going to be a tough cookie to break here for Kent State.
