Prediction -- Akron is going to blow Miami away. There is no question the Zips will play their hardest. The team might fatigue a bit in the second half, but don't expect this to be close at all. Bramos is in a funk. The Zips are ready for Tim Pollitz, too. The team is playing its best basketball I can remember. Miami stands no chance in such a raucous atmosphere against a fiery team.
