LeBron James may have left Cleveland twice and Miami once during his NBA career, but his love for his hometown of Akron has never faded. It was on full display Saturday, March 15, as the Akron Zips pulled off a dramatic win over the Miami RedHawks to clinch the MAC title.

In one fell swoop, the Akron Zips men's basketball team captured its second consecutive Mid-American Conference Tournament title, the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament and a program record for most wins in a season with 28.

RedHawks are one win away from the NCAA Tournament after defeating Kent State Friday 72-64 in the MAC Tournament semifinals.
