Maine is off to a 6-4 start to the season and has a signature win over Boston College. The Bears are not a proficient offense, but their games have played up-tempo so points tend to come based on volume. Akron is also 6-4 and over their last 3 games, they have pushed the tempo and have averaged 77ppg. I think that will continue tonight as the Zips will feel they have the advantage on both ends and off the glass. The Zips don't give away too many possessions as they have turned the ball over no more than 14 times in any game, and average just 11.4 turnovers per contest. This game plays OVER the total.
