The Akron Zips and the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks are set to clash at 4:00 p.m. ET at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in a Mid American postseason contest. Coming off a loss in a game Akron was expected to win, they now face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.
Akron pushed their score all the way to 84 on Friday, but even that wasn’t enough to win. They fell 90-84 to the Broncos. Akron was up 17 in the first but still couldn’t manage to seal the deal.
Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from Greg Tribble, who scored 18 points along with five assists. He didn’t help Akron’s cause all that much against Eastern Michigan last Tuesday but the same can’t be said for this match. Ali Ali was another key contributor, scoring 17 points along with six assists.
Meanwhile, the RedHawks also suffered a loss in their last game, but this one to the Bobcats by a score of 72-59. Miami (Ohio) got off to an early lead (up 13 with 3:20 left in the first quarter), but sadly they weren’t able to maintain that momentum.

The Zips’ defeat was their third straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 21-10. As for the RedHawks, they now have a losing record at 15-16.
Thursday’s game is shaping up to be a scrappy game: Akron have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 36.4 rebounds per game. It’s a different story for Miami (Ohio), though, as they’ve been averaging only 33.4 rebounds per game. Given Akron’s sizable advantage in that area, Miami (Ohio) will need to find a way to close that gap.
Akron couldn’t quite finish off Miami (Ohio) in their previous meeting back in January and fell 70-68. Can Akron avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We’ll find out soon enough.

“Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Tommie Lee among 6 arrested during World Cup match in Miami, sheriff says
Reality television personality Tommie Lee — whose real name is Atasha Jefferson — best known for her appearances on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,” was among six people arrested during the England vs. Norway FIFA World Cup match in Miami on Saturday, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office said 60,024 fans attended the match. Deputies also reported 19 ejections from the stadium, adding that all incidents were isolated and handled quickly.
Authorities have not yet released the circumstances surrounding Jefferson’s arrest or any charges she may face.
A social media account that regularly reports celebrity news claimed Sunday that Jefferson was arrested July 11 and released July 12 after posting a $1,000 bond. The post also alleged she is facing a felony charge of interference with a sporting or entertainment event and said she later shared a video on Snapchat appearing to be in good spirits after her release.
What we don’t know
CBS News has not independently verified those claims, including the reported charge, bond amount or release information, and Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office has not publicly confirmed those details.
CBS News has also not independently verified what led to the encounter, and the sheriff’s office has not said what prompted deputies to take Jefferson into custody.
CBS News has requested Jefferson’s arrest report, booking information and any charging documents from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office. A request for comment has also been sent to Jefferson’s representatives.
Reality TV star’s legal troubles in South Florida amid World Cup festivities
Jefferson rose to national prominence as one of the breakout personalities on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” before later appearing on several Zeus Network reality series, where she has remained a frequent cast member.
This is not Jefferson’s first legal issue in South Florida. In 2024, she was arrested in Miami Beach on a battery charge following an incident outside LIV Nightclub. Court records from that case alleged she physically confronted another person before officers took her into custody.
Saturday’s arrest comes as Miami continues hosting FIFA World Cup matches that have drawn tens of thousands of fans from around the world. Despite the arrests and ejections, the sheriff’s office said the event proceeded safely and described the incidents as isolated.
This is a developing story. CBS News will update this article as additional information, including the exact circumstances surrounding Jefferson’s arrest and any charges, becomes available.
