Final 2009-2010 Akron Projection:

And Coach Dambrot prides himself on defense. If Brett McKnight is not defending properly at the three spot, he will not be playing there. At times Akron’s offense was inconsistent, but they almost always stuck around because of their stellar defense. And in a conference like the MAC, when it will come down to four days in Cleveland for a spot in the NCAA Tournament, the Zips need to find more offensive consistency by the end of the season.
