It was the program’s biggest comeback win since 2001 when the Rockets climbed back from down 25 to beat Kent State in the MAC title game. ... Akron, the preseason favorite in the MAC East, has won three in a row since a head scratching 79-76 loss at Miami on Jan. 15. ... The Zips rank second in the MAC in offense (82.4 points) and second-to-last in defense (74.6 points). ... The MAC’s top two scorers are Akron’s Rachel Tecca (24.1) and Hanna Luburgh (22.9). Tecca, the reigning MAC player of the year, had 48 points and 22 rebounds Sunday in a 101-79 win at Eastern Michigan. ... Tecca is second in the MAC in rebounding (9.4). ... This is the final tune up to Sunday’s rivalry game against Bowling Green, to be played at UT’s Savage Arena.
