The Akron Zips' men's basketball team is riding high and experiencing a good deal of success coming off a tough win over the University at Buffalo 75-71 at Alumni Arena.
University of Akron head coach Keith Dambrot joined the Sam Bourquin Show to talk about the Zips, their gritty, tough mentality, and the players who are key into them playing well.
"If you can win some close ones, you can take a pretty good season and make it a great season," Dambrot said.
The Zips have won 9 games in a row to bring their record to 12-2 on the season.
Akron will play Western Michigan at the James A. Rhodes Arena on Friday, where Coach Dambrot says will be a physical, intense game.
"They are perenially one of the better teams on that side (the MAC West), so we're going to have to play."
