No. 12 Bowling Green Falcons vs. No. 1 Akron Zips men's basketball recap: Zips advance to MAC Tournament Final with win over scrappy Bowling Green 80-66

Make it 25 of 26 - Akron beats Bowling Green once again to move on to MAC Tournament Final

The Akron-Bowling Green series has been just a little one-sided ever since Keith Dambrot took over as the Zips head coach in 2004. Akron had won 24 of the last 25 against the Falcons during Dambrot's tenure with a couple of the last few games ending in agonizing fashion.

On Friday night in Cleveland, the pattern continued as the Zips (26-7) made it 25 wins in their last 26 with an 80-66 victory over the Falcons (16-18) that moves them one step closer to an NCAA Tournament appearance.
