Notes: This the first meeting between the Zips and Bison, who are members of the Summit League. The Zips are 22-13 against the current members of the Summit League. … UA is 3-6 in BracketBusters games. At home, they are 3-2. … The Bison are 7-6 in road games this season. … A win would give the Zips their first 18-game win streak since the 1958-59 season.
