Akron Zips vs. Ball State Cardinals men's basketball preview: 4-3 vs. 5-2 who gets best of Zips/Cards battle?

Where: Muncie, Indiana. Worthern Arena

When: Saturday 1:00pm

Watch: ESPNU

A steady dose of contributions led Akron to a win over Northern Illinois, one of the biggest wins for a MAC team this season. That win notched the Zips up evenly with the Huskies and allowed Kent State to secure the best record in the conference.

Kwan Cheatham led the way last time out with 18 points and 4 triples, while three other Akron players reached double-digits in scoring. After losing two games to Central Michigan and Toledo, Akron is in something of a groove, especially offensively.
