Oral Roberts will face Akron for the 2012 Sears BracketBusters game next month.
Officials said Monday the Feb. 18 game between the Golden Eagles (20-4) and the Zips (14-7) will be nationally televised on either ESPN or ESPN2.
The teams have played four times in the history of the two programs, including last season when Oral Roberts lost 84-80. Akron has taken all four previous meetings.
The Zips are led by Zeke Marshall, who has an average of three blocks per game, which ranks him 12th in the nation. Akron opened the season with a 68-58 victory on the road at Mississippi State.
Oral Roberts has now won 13-straight games and is atop the Summit League standings.
