Season Recap: Men’s Basketball Shows Signs of Life in Trying Times

The 2018-2019 Men’s Basketball season was a slight improvement from the last season, but not enough to make the big splash that the Zips have long been hoping for.

Last season, Akron went 14-18 overall and 6-12 in the Mid-American Conference. This season, the Zips ended up 16-15 overall and 8-10 in conference play.

The Zips ended the season with a winning record, albeit barely.

During the season, players Jimond Ivey and Daniel Utomi both hit a milestone 1,000 career points.

The Zips showed that they can dominate while playing at the James A. Rhodes Arena, as they went 13-3 in their 16 home games on the season.
