Tonight’s MAC Championship game between the Toledo Rockets and the Akron Zips will be a rock fight.
The Zips boast the conference's top defense, and my Toledo vs. Akron predictions expect a tough, physical game at Rocket Arena.
Read on for my college basketball picks for Saturday, March 14.
Toledo vs Akron prediction
Toledo vs Akron best bet: Under 159.5 (-116)
The Akron Zips' defense tops the MAC, excelling in forcing tough shots and turnovers, which usually leads to lower-scoring games.
The Toledo Rockets' defense is also solid, ranking near the top of the conference. Akron lives beyond the arc, and not getting its typical 11+ made threes will hurt its scoring.
The Zips average nearly 18 points per game off turnovers. However, the Rockets take care of the basketball with a solid 1.6 assist-to-turnover ratio, which will slow the pace and limit scoring chances.
This one will be a physical, half-court battle where every bucket is earned.

Rocket Arena is essentially a home game for the Zips. They'll have the fans behind them, have won nine straight MAC games, and beat Toledo by 10 points earlier this season in Akron.
The Zips have also covered the spread in four of their last five games and have an opportunistic defense that can create the separation needed to cover.
