Team Information

The Akron Zips Basketball schedule is your roadmap to some of the best mid-major action in Northeast Ohio—fast-paced, physical, and packed with conference stakes. Akron men’s basketball represents the University of Akron in NCAA Division I and competes in the Mid-American Conference (MAC). Established in 1906, the Zips have built a reputation as a consistent contender, backed by a loyal fan base in Akron, Ohio. You’ll see the program’s navy blue and gold pride everywhere—from the stands to the game-day atmosphere led by Zippy the kangaroo mascot.

Akron’s success is anchored by real results in the MAC. The Zips have won 3 MAC Tournament Championships (1986, 2009, 2022) and claimed 12 MAC regular-season championships, including 2022, 2023, and 2024 in a strong run through the 2020s. They’ve made 7 NCAA Tournament appearances in the Division I era. Along the way, the program has been guided by notable head coaches like Keith Dambrot (2004–2017), who led multiple MAC title runs and NCAA Tournament appearances, and John Groce, who guided Akron to the 2009 MAC tournament title and later returned to continue the program’s MAC contention.

Game day at James A. Rhodes Arena is all about being close to the action. Opened in 1955 with a 5,500 capacity, “The JAR” is known for its compact design that helps create a loud, intimate home-court feel—especially when the MAC standings are on the line. Rivalry nights bring another level of intensity, headlined by the “Battle of the Bricks” against the Kent State Golden Flashes, one of the marquee matchups in the conference.

Under head coach John Groce, the Zips have stayed a regular presence in the MAC title chase, with a program identity built around disciplined defense, veteran guard play, and continuity. If you love competitive college basketball where every possession matters—and where conference races can swing on a single weekend—Akron is a team you’ll want to see live.
