Born in 1901 in Akron, Ohio, the Akron Zips men's basketball program has evolved into a Mid-American Conference power. The Zips have stacked up MAC tournament crowns in 2009, 2011, 2013, 2022 and 2024, punching NCAA Tournament tickets in those seasons plus 1986. From Bob Huggins jump-starting the modern era to Keith Dambrot's sustained rise and John Groce's recent titles, Akron has built a reputation for tough defense, sharpshooting guards and March ambition.
