The Akron men's basketball team not only returns to the NCAA Tournament this week, but the Zips also get a reasonably short trip for their first-round game.

After getting sent to Portland, Ore., in their last appearance in 2022, the Zips are headed to Pittsburgh for a matchup with Creighton in the Midwest Region. That gives Akron fans roughly just a 2-hour drive to cheer on the Zips as they seek their first-ever NCAA Tournament win.

Game time at PPG Paints Arena is 1:30 p.m. Here's a look at ticket prices for Akron's first-round matchup:
