What will Akron basketball roster look like in 2024-25 after March Madness run this season
After a senior-laden team took the University of Akron back to the men's basketball NCAA Tournament, the Zips will have an entirely new look next season.
Akron's season ended Thursday afternoon with a 77-60 loss to Creighton in the first round of March Madness. The Zips finish with a 24-11 record.
When the team reconvenes to start preparing for next season, the Zips will be minus four starters and at least five players overall.
