Ball State Cardinals vs Akron Zips Picks and Predictions February 20, 2026
The Akron Zips travel to Muncie tonight for a 6:30 PM ET Mid-American Conference (MAC) showdown against the Ball State Cardinals.

Ball State (8-18) has had a much tougher road this season, struggling to find consistency in a deep MAC. The Zips are heavy favorites with a -14.5 spread, a line that reflects both their explosive offensive efficiency and Ball State’s defensive vulnerabilities. This is the second meeting between the two programs this season; Akron previously handled the Cardinals 87-77 in Poughkeepsie back in January. Since then, the Zips have

The Canisius Golden Griffins travel to Alumni Gymnasium in Lawrenceville tonight for a 7:00 PM ET Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) showdown against the Rider Broncs. This matchup, airing on ESPN+, features two teams desperate to climb out of the conference cellar. Rider enters as a narrow 1.5-point home favorite despite a difficult 3-22 season record, while Canisius arrives at 8-19, looking to snap an 11-game losing streak. With the total set at a modest 132.5, oddsmakers are anticipating a low-scoring, defensive struggle between two of the league’s least efficient offenses. This is a “bounce-back” spot for both programs. Canisius is coming off a heartbreaking four-point loss to Manhattan, while Rider looks to regroup following an 11-point defeat at the
