Princeton at Akron

Princeton had turnover in the offseason, but returns guards Dalen Davis (9.2 ppg) and Jackson Hicke, plus forward Jacob Huggins. The offense averaged 73.6 points in Ivy League play, while the defense ranked fifth in the eight-team league in points allowed (72.1 per game) and sixth in shooting percentage allowed, as well as sixth in three-point defense (.355). Defending MAC Champion Akron likes to run behind First-Team All-MAC guard Tavari Johnson and Shammah Scott. The Zips averaged 84 points per game last season, shooting .469 from the field and .362 from 3-point land. They ranked 27th in the nation in assist-turnover ratio (+1.50). They blitzed James Madison in the opener, winning 85-71. That game went OVER the total, part of a 20-14 run OVER. Take Princeton/Akron OVER the total.
